The Creighton men’s basketball team faced the No. 7 Alabama Crimson Tide in a highly anticipated matchup last night, falling 83-75 on the road. Coming off a thrilling upset over the then No. 1 Kansas and a win against UNLV, Creighton faced challenges against a strong Alabama team in their first true road game of the season outside.
The game began with Alabama asserting control, building a 10-point lead within the first nine minutes. During this stretch, Creighton struggled offensively, enduring nine scoreless possessions and committing multiple turnovers. The absence of Pop Isaacs, a key player for the Bluejays, was felt as the team tried to adjust to these challenges.
