Creighton outlasts Xavier with second-half surge
Since suffering a major loss to Georgetown on the road in the Big East Opener, the Creighton men’s basketball team has rebounded in spectacular fashion. Creighton’s second half performance against Xavier was a testament to the record the Bluejays have built up, as a 86-77 victory over the visiting Xavier Musketeers provided Creighton with its eighth win in the last nine contests.
In a mid-week game sure to be a thriller, Creighton’s competition in Xavier was stiff, as the Musketeers had just overcome some of the league's toughest opponents in No. 25 UConn and No. 9 Marquette in recent weeks.
