What is at stake in the St. John’s vs. Creighton game?
Saturday will mark the second time St. John’s and Creighton are facing off this season. Their last meeting on Jan. 10 ended up in a victory for the Red Storm with a 90-73 scoreline.
While St. John’s is on a 12-game win streak, averaging 81.4 in its last 10 games, Creighton is 4-6 in its last 10 games. The Bluejays have conceded an average of 82.0 points over the last 10 games.
St. John’s will have at least one important absence, as Ian Jackson is set to miss the game after picking up an ankle injury. The sophomore guard sprained his ankle during St. John’s win over Marquette on Wednesday, as he attempted a rebound late in the first half.
Jackson left the game before returning to play about three more minutes in the first half and 11 minutes in the second half. He sat out the final five minutes of the game, however. Rick Pitino didn’t give a timetable for Jackson’s return and said he could be out for multiple games.
“His trajectory is going the right way as a basketball player, learning to do the right things,” Pitino said. “He’s improving the other areas that he was basically missing, so we’re going to miss that because he has improved.”
It’s not yet clear who will replace Jackson in the Red Storm’s lineup, although sophomore guard Joson Sanon is a top option.
