Box Score LAS VEGAS, Nev. -- Freshman Fredrick King had 16 points, 11 rebounds and five blocked shots but it wasn't enough as Creighton lost 73-71 to Arizona State at Michelob ULTRA Arena as part of the Jack Jones Hoopfest in Las Vegas, Nev.

The Bluejays, playing without All-BIG EAST center Ryan Kalkbrenner (non-COVID illness) for the second game in a row, lost their fifth straight contest to fall to 6-5 in non-conference play. Arizona State won its eighth straight contest to improve to 10-1 on the winter.

It was a game of runs in the first half.
