NEW YORK, Jan. 12 (UPI) -- Otto Porter scored 19 points and No. 22 Georgetown used a solid defensive performance to cruise past St. John's 67-51 Saturday.

D'Angelo Harrison of St. John's, the leading scorer in the Big East with a 21.5-point per game average, was limited to seven points on 3-of-12 shooting.

The Hoyas won the rebound battle 42-28 and led 36-19 at halftime.

Jamal Branch led the Red Storm with 16 points.
