This win improved the Bluejays to an overall record of 19-3.
Sophomore guard Khyri Thomas led the way for Creighton with 18 points, seven rebounds and six assists.
“It’s good to see these kids smile again,” says Coach Greg McDermott. “It’s been a tough 10 days or so for our program. There’s been a lot of adjustments and tinkering and experimentation to try and figure out what is best going forward.”
Before this game, the Bluejays had come off conference losses to Marquette and Georgetown.
Creighton’s defense was the main factor that led to their success.
