Creighton’s only blemish this season is a loss to top rated Villanova.
Meanwhile St. John’s has lots of talent but struggles with consistency, no surprise given how young they are.
This should make for an entertaining contest. Good pace and lots of offense most likely.
Creighton Blue Jays
Creighton is among the highest scoring teams in the country, led by a fabulous backcourt. Both transfers.
Marcus Foster is a pure scorer. He seems to have finally tapped into his immense talent averaging 19ppg. Maurice Watson is a speedy distributor. He puts a lot of pressure on opponents, all game long.
Third guard Khyri Thomas is just a sophomore and he gives the team a little bit of everything. He is second on the team in rebounds.

Creighton does not have a ton of size but they have a true center in Justin Patton. He is seven feet tall and comfortable around the rim – he makes more than 70% of his shots.
Even though they score a ton of points this is not a good foul shooting team. They are great from deep but when the bombs aren’t dropping they are going to struggle.
They have not played since the loss to Villanova but it is a new year and this group looks primed to continue being a real threat in the Big East.
St. John’s
The Red Storm have had their ups and downs this season but right now they are definitely up. The followed a nice win over former Big Easter Syracuse with two wins to open conference play, including a home upset of Butler.
This is a super young team with their top three scorers are first year players. Shamorie Ponds is the top scorer and is the typical NYC guard out of Brooklyn. Marcus Lovett has proven he can be an important outside shooter while JC product Bashir Ahmed is an athletic wing that can do a little of everything.

They do not have a lot of bulk inside but Tariq Owens and Kassoum Yakwe are both among the nation’s leaders in blocked shots. That is not always a sign of great defense but it shows good effort and athleticism on that backline.
Some nights St. John’s looks like a tournament team and it wouldn’t surprise me if this was one of those.
