In the second game of the opening round of the Paradise Jam, the Creighton Bluejays managed to lead from tip to buzzer, defeating the Brown Bears, 78-57. It isn’t a statement win in the way a win against Villanova would be, but this young Jays team hadn’t defeated a team by more than 13 points before this game. Today, Creighton managed to defeat a disciplined Bears team by 21, by far their largest margin of victory all season, and by far the largest loss for Brown all season.
Creighton got this win the way they had in most of their other wins: defense.
