Pregame Primer: #23 Creighton at #2 Villanova

It’s a depressing time to be a fan or a follower of Bluejay basketball, for reasons on the court — another last-second loss, another round of mock brackets seeing their projected seed dropping — and off the court. It’s the off-court stuff that matters most, obviously, and is the hardest to stomach. Maurice Watson, Jr., their former All-American guard, is accused of first-degree sexual assault and has had an arrest warrant issued for him.

The last time Creighton and Villanova played seven weeks ago, the Jays and Wildcats were both undefeated and played a great, spirited game that was thoroughly enjoyable other than the outcome going ‘Nova’s way.
