Creighton should find its way back into the top 25 next week after Saturday’s 76-61 dismantling of Villanova in Philly. The win was Creighton’s fourth in a row, and fifth in its last six games — with four of those games (Nova, Xavier, DePaul, and Georgetown) coming on the road.
Tyshon Alexander and Mitch Ballock combined for nine 3-pointers against Nova, on only 13 attempts. The Wildcats also had no answer for Denzel Mahoney off of the bench. He scored a team high 21. The powerful wing was a big reason why Creighton finished with a 34-18 scoring advantage in the paint.
