St. John’s was not satisfied with winning solely the Big East regular-season crown, so the Johnnies went out and put the finishing touches on their first Big East Tournament title since 2000. Thanks to 27 points from RJ Luis and another 20 from Zuby Ejiofor, St. John’s ran away from Creighton, 82-66, in front of a raucous Madison Square Garden crowd.
Creighton center Ryan Kalbrenner scored a team-high 15 points in the final Big East game of his illustrious career. But the Bluejays had no answer for the Johnnies in a buzzsaw-like second half. It was a similar script that Butler and Marquette ran into in the quarterfinals and semifinals, respectively.
