Creighton Women Make it Three for Three Against Villanova, Advances to Big East Semis

Every year around this time when conference tournaments are getting underway, and conference foes are getting a third crack at each other, you hear over and over from coaches and players about how hard it is to beat a team three times in one season. That rule may not apply to the Creighton women’s basketball program. Entering Sunday’s Big East Tournament Quarterfinal game against the #2-seeded Villanova Wildcats — a team Creighton swept during the regular season — the Bluejays had won 10 of 13 all-time meetings in conference tournament games against a team they swept that season. On Sunday they improved that mark with a 57-48 victory over the Wildcats to advance to the semifinals of the 2016 Big East Tournament at McGrath-Phillips Arena in Chicago, Illinois.
