The Creighton men’s basketball team looked a little sluggish in the first half and down by double digits midway through the second half, but rose to the occasion down the stretch. The Bluejays held off a desperate St. John’s team, pulling out the 78-71 victory on Wednesday night at the CenturyLink Center.
Marcus Foster scored a game high 25 points, while Khyri Thomas chipped in 17, including a three-pointer with 16 seconds remaining that bounced around the rim on both sides and hit the glass before going in that put Creighton up five points that essentially sealed the victory.
