QUEENS, N.Y. -- Back-to-back-to-back three-pointers late in the second half by Arthur Kaluma helped Creighton earn a hard-fought 77-67 road win at St. John's on Saturday night at sold out Carnesecca Arena on the St. John's campus.
The win, Creighton (18-9, 12-4 BIG EAST) ninth in its past 10 games, moves the Bluejays into a three-way tie for second place with a pivotal home game vs. No. 11 Marquette looming on Tuesday.
The Bluejay offense was carried by its bench in the opening 10 minutes, as Shereef Mitchell, Mason Miller and Francisco Farabello combined to score 14 of CU's first 23 points as the Jays took a six-point lead.
