WHAT’S AT STAKE
Georgetown: Pride. Can the Hoyas beat someone in the league not named DePaul this season? A win would give the Hoyas double-digit victories for the first time since 2021.
St. John’s: Rick Pitino is trying to lead his sixth different school into the NCAA Tournament. While a win over Georgetown doesn’t exactly add to the resume, a loss would be absolutely catastrophic and erase all of the good during this current four-game winning streak.
