On Monday, February 14th, the Creighton Bluejays managed to hold off a comeback from the Georgetown Hoyas, 88-77. This is one of those games where the final score is not reflective of the effort that Georgetown put into this game, as Creighton was leading by 23 points with 18 minutes left, but just 6 with 2:45 left. This was brought about by a small-ball, full-court pressure that really bugged Creighton, leading to 28 points off turnovers in favor of the Hoyas. Without this small-ball lineup, the score could have been much worse for Georgetown.
The Hoyas also benefited from an excellent game from Aminu Mohammed, who logged 34 minutes and 27 points on just 15 shots.
