WASHINGTON -- This is unchartered territory for No. 16 Creighton, which plays Wednesday in the nation's capital against struggling Georgetown.
It will be the second full game and first road test for the Bluejays without guard Maurice Watson, Jr., who was averaging 8.5 assists before he was injured against Xavier on Jan. 16.
Creighton won that game 72-67 but lost at home Saturday to Marquette as the Bluejays searched for a leader on the court down the stretch.
"It's probably where we missed Maurice the most," coach Greg McDermott told reporters after the game. "We just didn't have the voice there, nobody to turn to on the floor.
