"NEW YORK (AP) Bryce Hopkins had 15 points and 10 rebounds as No. 17 St. John's breezed past Creighton 81-52 on Saturday for its 13th straight victory - marking the school's longest winning streak in 41 years. Dylan Darling scored 17 points off the bench and Zuby Ejiofor added 15 for the first-place Red Storm (22-5, 15-1 Big East), who led wire-to-wire and held Creighton to 32% shooting in their 18th win in 20 games."
"St. John's hadn't won 13 in a row since a 19-game run in 1984-85 on the way to a No. 1 national ranking, a top seed in the NCAA Tournament and a Final Four berth under Hall of Fame coach Lou Carnesecca. Seeking their second consecutive Big East championship, the Red Storm began the day with a half-game lead in the conference standings over No. 5 UConn, scheduled to play later at third-place Villanova."
St. John's improved to 22-5 overall and 15-1 in Big East play after an 81-52 victory over Creighton, marking a 13-game winning streak. Bryce Hopkins led with 15 points and 10 rebounds while Dylan Darling contributed 17 off the bench and Zuby Ejiofor scored 15. St. John's held Creighton to 32% shooting and recorded its 18th win in 20 games. Dillon Mitchell added 10 rebounds, seven assists and no turnovers. The team seeks a second straight Big East title and visits UConn next, with a win potentially extending the Big East streak to 14 games.
