Key Stats:
Creighton outrebounds St. John’s by 11, their largest margin during Big East play (and just the fifth time in 17 games they’ve outrebounded a conference opponent by any margin). Their 12 offensive boards were their most in a Big East game this year; they had 12 against Buffalo and 13 against Longwood in the non-conference.
The Jays got one of their best free-throw shooting performances of the year, too; their 18 made free throws were their second most in Big East play this year, their 81% shooting percentage from the line was the third-best for the entire season, and it was one of just five games where they’ve shot 80% or better from the line.
