St. John's Red Storm Preview

Georgetown v St John's

The St. John's Red Storm were off to an outstanding start to their 2020-21 season, winning five of their first six games and averaging 85 points per game on offense. This hot start has been extinguished entirely, however, as the Red Storm have now lost three straight games and find themselves at the bottom of the Big East standings. The Red Storm will need to bounce back and get their revenge on the Georgetown Hoyas if they want to compete for a conference title this year.

Key Player - Julian Champagnie

The St. John's Red Storm have relied on the offense of Julian Champagnie all year long, and they will have the same gameplan against the Georgetown Hoyas. Champagnie's shooting numbers have been phenomenal thus far, carrying a 45% field goal percentage into Sunday matchup.
