In a thrilling matchup on February 16, 2025, No. 9 St. John's defeated No. 24 Creighton 79-73, maintaining their lead in the Big East. Despite struggling with shooting, St. John's excelled in defense and rebounding, securing 20 offensive boards and forcing 15 turnovers. RJ Luis led the team with a career-high 23 points and 10 rebounds, supported by Kadary Richmond and Zuby Ejiofor. The win marked their 18th consecutive home victory and solidified a 2.5-game lead over Creighton, reflecting the team's resilience and defensive strength under coach Rick Pitino.
It led to 20 points while the Blue Jays only came away with two off takeaways.
When you see a team shoot 38% from the field, 33% from three, and 58.6% from the free throw line, you're going to lose by double digits.
St. John's has now won 18 straight regular-season games at home, which has helped it build a 2.5-game lead for first place in the conference.
I think you guys are looking at some basketball history.
