Creighton is on to the Big East Tournament final.
The Bluejays earned their first berth in the final since 2017 with their 59-56 win over UConn. The Huskies tried to reach the tourney final in their first year back but ultimately were dismayed.
James Bouknight attempted to orchestrate a takeover of the game late. Bouk, the conference’s leading scorer, put up five points in less than 20 seconds to prop his Huskies up by five. Creighton refused to let this go by easily, however. They responded with a 9-0 run that vaulted them up by four.
