There are only so many mid-majors that St. John's can schedule.
After four straight home games resulted in four unimpressive wins against lesser competition, St. John's stumbled for the second time this season when presented with a challenge from a major conference, falling 89-82 in overtime to Penn State on Friday night at Barclays Center.
St. John's will play Georgia Tech in the consolation game of the Barclays Center Classic on Saturday.
Trailing by four in overtime, Phil Greene IV hit a 3-pointer to cut the lead to 81-80 with less than two minutes remaining. The Red Storm's comeback hopes ended, however, when still down one, but needing to foul, little-used Max Hooper clotheslined Tim Frazier and was called for a flagrant foul with 22.3 seconds left. That eventually resulted in four straight free throws for Frazier after another foul.
The Red Storm (4-2) took their first lead of the second half, 73-72, when D'Angelo Harrison (20 points) hit a runner in the lane with 47.5 seconds left. After a defensive stand, JaKarr Sampson made one free throw, then bit on a fake from Frazier (29 points), fouling him on a 3-point attempt with 6.1 seconds left.
Frazier hit all three, giving Penn State a 75-74 lead, but Harrison came right down the court and drew a foul with two seconds left. The Red Storm's leading-scorer missed the first, but hit the second to send it to overtime.
Behind D.J. Newbill's 25 points on 10-of-18 shooting, Penn State (6-1) took its biggest lead, 62-47, midway through the second half, but Hooper gave the Red Storm hope of improving their enormous outside shooting issues.
After playing a total of 27 minutes in the previous five games, Hooper erupted for five 3-pointers Friday, while Greene exploded for 11 points in a late 20-5 run to tie the game at 67 with less than three minutes left. Then, Harrison converted a four-point play with 1:26 to tie the game once again.
St. John's, the third-worst 3-point shooting team in the nation heading into the game, ended up hitting a season-best 11-of-20 from outside, but also utilized their aggression, jumping out on the break when possible. The Red Storm were balanced early and showed great ball movement, as seven players scored at least four points and the team assisted on 11 of its first 15 field goals.
The lead bounced back and forth throughout the first half until Penn State went on a 10-0 run late, taking a 40-29 lead with less than three minutes left before halftime. Hooper, who was 1-of-8 on 3-pointers entering the game, was then inserted and hit back-to-back treys, cutting the Nittany Lions' lead to 42-35 at the half.
