What to Know

The Creighton Bluejays are 11-3 against the St. John's Red Storm since December of 2015, and they'll have a chance to extend that success Wednesday. Creighton and St. John's will face off in a Big East battle at 9 p.m. ET at CHI Health Center Omaha. The Bluejays won both of their matches against the Red Storm last season (87-64 and 81-78) and are aiming for the same result this time around.

Creighton made easy work of the Butler Bulldogs last week and carried off a 73-52 win. It took five tries, but Creighton can finally say that they have a victory on the road. They got double-digit scores from four players: guard Baylor Scheierman (12), guard Ryan Nembhard (12), guard Trey Alexander (11), and center Ryan Kalkbrenner (11).

Meanwhile, St. John's came up short against the Villanova Wildcats last Friday, falling 57-49. The losing side was boosted by center Joel Soriano, who posted a double-double on 16 rebounds and 14 points. That makes it six consecutive games in which Soriano has had at least ten rebounds.

The Bluejays are expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten the Brigham Young Cougars Dec. 10 easily too and instead slipped up with an 83-80. In other words, don't count the Red Storm out just yet.
