No. 17 St. John's Smacks Creighton, Marking Longest Winning Streak in 4 Decades

Scores 14 in first start Zugic finished Wednesday's 91-84 victory over UConn with 14 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds and one steal across 31 minutes.

Impact Zugic made his first start of the season Wednesday, and that decision by the coaching staff paid off. He set season highs in points (14) and rebounds (five) in his 31 minutes of action, crucial contributions which led the Bluejays to a shocking win on the road. Zugic needed just seven shots to score his 14 points, thanks in part to his six made free throws. This performance could earn him a spot in the starting five moving forward, or at the very least a larger role off the bench.
