St. John's Battles Creighton in Big East Showdown
10 Jan
Summary
- St. John's and Creighton, both with strong Big East records, face off.
- Creighton leads the all-time series, but St. John's won the last tournament.
- The game is predicted to be a close contest, with a one-point difference.
Saturday marks a significant Big East conference basketball game as the St. John's Red Storm, holding a 10-5 overall record and a 3-1 conference standing, are scheduled to play the Creighton Bluejays. Creighton enters the contest with a 10-6 overall record and a 4-1 Big East record, making this game critical for both teams' positions in the league.
The historical series between these two teams favors Creighton, who leads 19-13 all-time. However, St. John's has had recent success, winning three of their last four meetings, including the championship game of last season's Big East Tournament. Despite this, the Red Storm have not secured a victory on the road against the Bluejays since 2019.
The upcoming game is highly anticipated, with projections suggesting a very close contest. KenPom's prediction indicates a narrow 77-76 victory for Creighton, giving St. John's a 50% chance of winning. The game is set to tip off at 2:00 p.m. at the CHI Health Center in Omaha, Nebraska, and will be broadcast on FS1.
