The No. 17 St. John's Red Storm cruised past Creighton 81-52 on Saturday, extending their winning streak to 13 games - the longest for the program in 41 years. Bryce Hopkins led the way with 15 points and 10 rebounds as St. John's led wire-to-wire and held Creighton to just 32% shooting.
Why it matters
St. John's is in first place in the Big East standings and seeking a second consecutive conference championship. Their 13-game winning streak is the longest for the program since 1984-85, when they went on to earn a No. 1 national ranking, a top NCAA Tournament seed, and a Final Four berth.
The details
The Red Storm were led by Bryce Hopkins' 15 points and 10 rebounds, while Dylan Darling scored 17 points off the bench and Zuby Ejiofor added 15. Dillon Mitchell contributed 10 rebounds, seven assists and zero turnovers. St. John's held Creighton to just 32% shooting in the dominant victory.
- St. John's hasn't won 13 in a row since a 19-game run in 1984-85.
