What to Know

The Creighton Bluejays are 9-3 against the St. John's Red Storm since December of 2015, and they'll have a chance to extend that success Wednesday. Creighton and St. John's will face off in a Big East battle at 7 p.m. ET at CHI Health Center Omaha. The Bluejays won both of their matches against St. John's last season (94-76 and 97-79) and are aiming for the same result this time around.

Creighton came up short against the Xavier Musketeers this past Saturday, falling 80-73. Despite the defeat, Creighton got a solid performance out of guard Alex O'Connell, who had 22 points in addition to six rebounds.

Meanwhile, while not quite a landslide, the matchup between the Red Storm and the Georgetown Hoyas on Sunday was still a pretty decisive one as St. John's wrapped it up with an 88-69 win at home. St. John's' guard Posh Alexander did his thing and had 17 points and seven assists along with six steals and six boards.

Creighton is the favorite in this one, with an expected 4-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are only 2-6 against the spread when favored.

Creighton and St. John's now sit at an identical 10-5. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Bluejays are 24th worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only 10.9 on average. To make matters even worse for Creighton, St. John's comes into the game boasting the 12th most takeaways per game in college basketball at 17.9. Maybe that strength will give the Red Storm the oomph they need to beat the odds.
