Recap & Analysis:
In the eighth-annual Creighton versus Cancer “Pink-Out”, Marcus Foster and Khyri Thomas combined for 50 points, the Bluejays held off a late rally by Georgetown with clutch plays on defense and near-perfection from the free throw line in the final minute, and they picked up an 85-77 win to move to 17-5 overall (7-3 in the Big East.)
But while all of that is good stuff, it feels like burying the lede.
6’11” freshman Jacob Epperson is no longer a redshirt — he’s going to play the rest of the year and try to give the Jays back some of what they lost when Martin Krampelj’s season ended with a torn ACL.
