The Creighton Bluejays snapped their two-game losing streak Wednesday evening, taking care of the St. John’s Red Storm with an 87-64 victory in Omaha.
Creighton was aided by huge performances from Alex O’Connell (28 points, seven rebounds) and Arthur Kaluma (20 points), as the duo combined for ten of Creighton’s season-high 14 three-pointers.
The three-pointers started falling early and often for Creighton, as O’Connell hit four threes in the first half on his way to 17 points. The Bluejays took a double-digit lead into the break, at the score of 49-34.
St. John’s struggled from the field all game, shooting just 38.
