Friday night’s BIG EAST Tournament semifinal between Creighton and UConn had something for everyone. At least on paper.
The matchup featured the Bluejays, who came into the game as the second-ranked offensive machine in the conference while the Huskies countered by showing up with the league’s top defensive unit.
Creighton brought the top two three-point shooters in the conference in Mitch Ballock (69 three balls) and Marcus Zegarowski (66) while UConn boasted its ultra-talented sophomore guard James Bouknight, a player many view as a possible lottery pick in the NBA later this year.
It had the buildup of a classic heavyweight bout - No.
