Key Stats:
Creighton holds Xavier to 54 points. The last — and only — time they held a Big East opponent to fewer than that and won the game? Their first-ever conference game, a 67-49 win over Marquette on December 31, 2013. In other words, they haven’t done it since.
For the record, they’ve held two other Big East opponents to fewer than 54 points, but lost both games — 50-48 to Providence on January 12, 2016 and 53-52 at Marquette on January 14, 2015.
CU first three-point attempt came at the 10:47 mark, the latest they’ve gone into a game this season before taking a three.
