Creighton lost their third straight game on Sunday, the first three-game regular-season losing streak since the 2015-16 team dropped road games to Georgetown and Villanova and a home game to Seton Hall in late January. That group wound up at 9-9 in conference play. They’ve now lost back-to-back home games for the first time since the forgettable 2014-15 season; that’s also the last time they started 1-3 in conference play. That team finished 4-14 in the Big East.
That’s the bad news. The good news? Creighton’s played one of, if not the, toughest four-game stretches in the league to this point.
