All three BIG EAST games on Saturday ended in the 60s. In two of the three, the road team got out of town with close victories. A third visiting team rallied, but came up short.
“In this league, you don’t apologize for anything, you just take a W,” said Creighton head coach Greg McDermott after his Bluejays edged Providence 67-65 at Alumni Hall on a dunk by Christian Bishop with less than a second left.
Creighton (8-2, 4-1 BIG EAST) had a 13-point lead with 7:14 to play before the Friars came back and tied the game 65-65 on a basket by Noah Horchler with seven seconds left.
