My Prediction
St. John's Red Storm by 5Looks like we're locked for an interesting game between the St. John's Red Storm, clocking in at #15, and the unranked Georgetown Hoyas. Sounds a bit dry, you say? That's where you're wrong, sports fans.
First, let's talk about St. John's. They're led by RJ Luis and Zuby Ejiofor. Luis has been dropping 18.9 points on average in the past month, slightly higher than his average for the season. Meanwhile, Ejiofor sets the boards on fire with 8.8 rebounds a game last month. How about giving the big guy some love? The Red Storm's regular season record shows a winning culture, losing only thrice so far. By the way, their past run-in with the Hoyas ended in a 63-58 win. Cocky? Maybe. Justified? Definitely.
Now, Georgetown seems the underdog at face value. It doesn't boast a flashy AP ranking but has managed to pull off 13 wins so far. Keep your eye on Thomas Sorber and Micah Peavy. Sorber has an impressive rebound average of 10.9 last month while Peavy boasts of scoring 15.9 points per game. But the real question is whether they can pull an upset on St. John's home turf this time around. It's a question as intriguing as asking if I'll ever enjoy tofu...not very likely, I'm afraid.
Given all these factors, it seems that St. John's has those ever so little things that could tip the game in its favor. Seems like Georgetown would need a miracle to trump them, but who knows? It's sports, after all, surprises are the name of the game.
