After a low scoring game 1 of the Big East tournament quarterfinals, game 2 opened up with 3-point shots traded between O-Max Prosper and Arthur Kaluma.
At the first media timeout, this once again had signs of a much higher scoring affair. Creighton would take the game’s first two possession lead with 13:13 left in the first half after a half court lob from Trey Alexander to Arthur Kaluma.
The Bluejays came into this game with a 2-0 record over Marquette by a combined score of 7 points, so this game was set up to be close from the get go.
