The Big East is the gift that just keeps giving, and Saturday's matchup between No. 5 Xavier and Creighton comes with a big red bow as the first-place Musketeers travel to Omaha, Neb., to take on the third-place Bluejays.
The Musketeers (22-3, 10-2 Big East) blew out the Bluejays on Jan. 13 when Trevon Bluiett scored 24 points.
Creighton's big men, Marin Krampelj and Toby Hegner, both fouled out and the Musketeers dominated the paint with Kerem Kanter and Sean O'Mara combining for 24 points on 11-of-19 shooting.
This time around, Creighton won't have Krampelj, whose season ended when he tore an ACL against Seton Hall, one game after facing the Musketeers.
