Stephen Holt added 13 points and Brad Waldow 12 points and 12 rebounds for the Gaels (24-5), who never trailed.
Doug McDermott scored 22 points and Gregory Echenique 18 for the Bluejays (22-7).
Saint Mary's won the rebounding battle 39-27.
The Gaels scored the last eight points before halftime to take a 38-24 lead. The 29.6 percent shooting for Creighton in the first 20 minutes was its lowest in any half this season.
