“This is a new feeling for us.”
Those were Joe Tartamella’s words after losing in the first round of the Big East Tournament for the first time since 2010.
Despite strong double digit scoring from three St. John’s players, it wasn’t enough to best Jaylyn Agnew’s 23 points for Creighton en route to a 66-58 win for the Blue Jays.
The game came down to offensive efficiency. St. John’s was struggling to score, only shooting 38% from the field during the game, including an underwhelming 1-6 shooting performance from beyond the arc.
On the other side, Creighton’s offense was clicking.
