Pregame Primer: Creighton Seeks to Avenge Loss to St. John’s in Rematch on “1980s Night”

After starting the season 12-0, St. John’s has lost four of their last five games. The only win in that span came exactly two weeks ago against Creighton, an 81-66 victory in Queens that was the low point in CU’s season to this point — and a brief respite in what has become a tailspin for the Red Storm.

They’re a talented team that blew out Marquette, the only blemish on the 7-1 Golden Eagles’ conference record, and led undefeated Villanova for 35 minutes before folding in the game’s waning moments. But they’re also a team in a serious funk, led by an enigmatic star and a coach many observers doubt has the chops to turn them around.
