WASHINGTON, D.C. -- No. 19 Creighton set a school-record with 19 steals and never trailed in a 63-48 win at Georgetown on Tuesday night in Washington, D.C.
The victory helped Creighton (15-5, 11-4 BIG EAST) improve to 7-1 in league road games for the first time in program history and avenged an 86-79 loss in Omaha to the Hoyas just six days earlier.
Creighton scored on nine of its first 12 possessions and scored 20 points before the first media timeout at the 12:34 mark. Damien Jefferson had a pair of buckets, then fed Christian Bishop for a dunk to give CU an early 6-0 lead, and the Bluejays would maintain that lead throughout the contest.
