- The Red Storm hold a 7-4 series advantage over the Bluejays, but the two teams have split the regular season series in each of their first three seasons as BIG EAST opponents.
- St. John's, however, has been a thorn in the Bluejays side in the post-season. Creighton is 4-0 against the rest of the BIG EAST in the conference tournament, defeating Butler (2013), Providence (2016), Seton Hall (2016) and Villanova (2016).
