Creighton Upsets Iowa to Punch Ticket for Program’s First Sweet Sixteen

No. 10 Creighton is headed to its first Sweet Sixteen appearance in its programs history after upsetting No. 2 Iowa 64–62 on Sunday.

The Bluejays lead the Hawkeyes for a majority of the game, even leading by up to 12 points.

The Hawkeyes took a two-point lead with a little under seven minutes left in the fourth quarter. Iowa kept the lead for the rest of the fourth quarter until Bluejays Lauren Jensen made a three-pointer with 15 seconds remaining.

Coincidentally, Jensen transferred from Iowa this year to Creighton in order to see more playing time.
