St. John’s is in position to start piling up wins and has to do it. Its next four games are against Seton Hall and then three teams it already has beaten once – Xavier, Georgetown and Providence. The Red Storm should want to go into the Feb. 4 meeting with No. 7 Marquette at the Garden at 10-1 in the Big East and with a full head of steam.

The Red Storm, playing without starting point guard Deivon Smith (right shoulder sprain), had clawed back from a lethargic start and a 14-point second-half deficit to create a back-and-forth battle with Georgetown and ignite the Garden crowd.
