St. John’s got Creighton to play at a fast pace, but the Red Storm couldn’t capitalize late against a fatigued Bluejays team and lost, 77-67.
Andre Curbelo was back on the bench for the Red Storm, albeit in street clothes. Rafael Pinzon was suspended indefinitely, presumably for an Instagram post criticizing coaching.
In the first half, the game didn’t get out of hand early, but Creighton systematically grew their lead over the first 20 minutes.
Creighton normally is middle of the road in terms of pace, ranking 129th in the country with just over 71 possession per game in contrast to St.
