NEWARK, N.J. -- Ryan Kalkbrenner had 28 points as the No. 18 Creighton men's basketball team overcame a nine-point deficit with 13 minutes left to earn a 97-94 triple-overtime win at BIG EAST leader Seton Hall on Saturday afternoon before a sellout crowd of 10,481 at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
Creighton improved to 14-5 (5-3 BIG EAST) with its seventh victory in the past nine meetings against the Pirates, while Seton Hall (13-6, 6-2 BIG EAST) had its five-game win streak snapped and fell to 9-2 at home this winter.
The Bluejays raced out of the gates to the tune of a 13-6 lead, scoring on six of their first nine possessions to force an early Seton Hall timeout.
