Key Stats:
Creighton grabbed 81.3% of available defensive rebounds, keeping Georgetown from turning missed shots into second-chance opportunities — and giving themselves a ton of opportunities in transition. They scored 18 fast break points, which is their most in a Big East game this season and the most since their win at Providence, when they had 15. Coincidentally, that is their only other league win.
They made 13-of-29 three pointers, or 44%, including 6-of-12 in the second half. But they weren’t settling for threes — they attempted more shots inside the arc than outside for the first time this season in Big East play.
