After snapping a four-game losing streak Monday night by winning in Washington, D.C., Creighton returns home for a three-game homestand where they have the opportunity to change the trajectory of their season in a dramatic way. Villanova sits atop the league standings at 6-0, and Marquette is second at 6-1. Everyone else has four losses — five teams are 3-4, and three are 2-4. In other words, with a win Friday night, Creighton would vault from last place to third place. And if they can hold serve at home and pick up three straight wins, they could begin to separate themselves from an eight-team pack that has not done much to distinguish themselves from one another.
