After two straight losses, the road doesn’t get any easier for Creighton as next up is #23 UConn. Much like Providence, who was beaten at the buzzer by CU earlier in the year and came out inspired from the opening tip in the rematch, UConn will come into this one ready for revenge after an OT loss to the Jays a month ago. Creighton has to match that urgency and intensity from the moment the ball is tipped.
As we wrote in the Morning After, Creighton’s start to both halves doomed them against Providence.
