Creighton beats Kansas; Advances to the Sweet 16

For the second consecutive year, Creighton advances to the Sweet 16.

In an incredible, bizarre, electric 5 set match against the fifth seeded Kansas Jayhawks the Bluejays were able to seize victory and move on yet again.

Kansas looked sharp, focus and mighty powerful in the first set, dropping the Jays 25-21. Creighton took control in the second and answered back with a punch straight to the Jayhawk beak at 25-20.

Then, in the third set, Creighton absolutely dominated from the first point out of the break to the set point at 25-17. Everything they hit was crisp, accurate, and seemed to absolutely befuddle the Jayhawk defense.
