No. 17 St. John’s routs Creighton 81-52 for longest winning streak in 4 decades

NEW YORK (AP) — Bryce Hopkins had 15 points and 10 rebounds as No. 17 St. John's breezed past Creighton 81-52 on Saturday for its 13th straight victory — marking the school's longest winning streak in 41 years. Dylan Darling scored 17 points off the bench and Zuby Ejiofor added 15 for the first-place Red Storm (22-5, 15-1 Big East), who led wire to wire and held Creighton to 32% shooting in their 18th win in 20 games. Dillon Mitchell had 10 rebounds, seven assists and zero turnovers before a red-clad crowd of 19,328 on Johnnies Day at Madison Square Garden. St. John's hadn't won 13 in a row since a 19-game run in 1984-85 on the way to a No. 1 national ranking, a top seed in the NCAA Tournament and a Final Four berth under Hall of Fame coach Lou Carnesecca.
