The St. John's Red Storm (10-2) are set to host the Creighton Bluejays (9-3) in a highly anticipated Big East showdown at Carnesecca Arena on Saturday.
The Red Storm head into their conference home opener with a 10-2 overall record but are looking to bounce back after a 71-57 road loss to Villanova in their Big East debut. In that game, three key players—Lashae Dwyer, Ariana Vanderhoop, and Skye Owen—reached double figures. The Red Storm's defense was a bright spot, forcing 18 turnovers, fueled by 14 steals, the second-highest total for the program in the past five years.
Defensively, St. John's has been exceptional, ranking sixth in the nation in scoring defense, allowing just 51.7 points per game. The team also leads the Big East in defending the three-point line, holding opponents to a mere 27.2% from deep. Both teams are masters of ball control, ranking in the top eight nationally for the fewest turnovers per game. Creighton averages just 10.9 turnovers (fourth), while St. John’s is close behind at 11.6 (eighth).
This matchup adds another chapter to a fiercely contested rivalry, with the Bluejays holding a narrow 14-13 edge in the all-time series. The last 10 meetings have been split evenly, 5-5, though Creighton has taken the past three games. St. John’s last defeated the Bluejays on Dec. 4, 2022, a 66-62 victory over the then-No. 13/14-ranked team in Queens.
The Creighton Bluejays come into this clash boasting a 9-3 record and a 1-0 start in Big East action. The team’s most recent outing was a tough loss to No. 1 UCLA, 70-41, on Dec. 20, which snapped a seven-game winning streak.
