Tuesday, Creighton lost 90-63 to a Gonzaga team that could be ranked in the top ten next week. Down just six at the half, the Jays were hit by an avalanche in the second and had no clue how to respond. They trailed by as many as 32 points and the 27-point margin of defeat is tied for the fourth-biggest of the McDermott Era.
(The only games that were more lopsided in the opponents’ favor? A 75-41 loss at Villanova in 2021, a 83-52 loss to San Diego State in 2019, and Baylor’s 85-55 win in the 2014 NCAA Tournament.
