Creighton will have had a full week off by the time they take the floor Sunday in Queens, a rare perk heading into March. Especially for a team riding its’ top players as hard as Creighton does, getting seven days off before the final week of the regular season could loom large. Like everyone this time of year, the Jays are a little bit bruised and battered, as the miles pile up.
Three of the top five players in minutes played in the Big East are Bluejays — Mitch Ballock is tops with 36.07 minutes per game, Ty-Shon Alexander is fourth at 34.
