Morning After: #21 Creighton Uses a Late-Game Surge to Pull Away From St. John’s and Move into Second Place in the Big East, Setting Up a Midweek Showdown in Newark

The Jays haven’t shot this well from the field (60.3%) against a Big East team in three years — dating back to a 93-58 home win over DePaul on February 11, 2017 where they made 60.7% of their shots. All six players who played significant minutes scored in double figures — and four of them made at least three 3-pointers.

CU had 21 assists on 35 made baskets, the most assists they’ve had against a D1 team this year. Their 1.40 points per possession were far and away their most this season. Christian Bishop, Denzel Mahoney and Damien Jefferson were a big part of that — they combined for 44 points on just 25 shots.
