After solid victories in their respective tournaments on Monday, Creighton and Marquette lost games to ranked opponents on Tuesday. Usually strong shooting teams, the Bluejays and Golden Eagles both had trouble finding the range.
Creighton led most of the way, but was caught in the final three minutes by No. 22 Baylor in a 65-59 loss in the title game of the Hall of Fame Classic in Kansas City, Mo. The Bluejays entered the contest averaging almost 98 points per game, but shot only 34.4 percent from the field and was 5-of-30 from 3-point range. Khyri Thomas scored 15 points and Marcus Foster finished with 12.
