After opening up Big East play on the road against DePaul and Marquette, St. John's will return home to play #14 Creighton.
After going through a gauntlet of a non-conference schedule that featured three ranked teams and nine 2018 NCAA tournament teams, the Johnnies were primed to face some heated competition in the Big East play.
The Red Storm finished non-conference play with a record of 8-5, with four of those losses coming against top-25 ranked opponents in road matches. The team was able to cap off non-conference play with a pair of four-set victories in the Hempstead Invitational two weeks ago, beating Duke University and upsetting then-No.
