FORT WORTH, Texas -- Freshman Arthur Kaluma had his first career double-double with 24 points and 12 rebounds but it wasn't enough as short-handed Creighton saw its 2021-22 season come to a close with a hard-fought 79-72 loss to top-seeded and third-ranked Kansas on Saturday, March 19 in Fort Worth, Texas.
With the win, Kansas (30-6) advances to next Friday's Regional semifinal in Chicago against the winner of tonight's Providence/Richmond game. A start time and television network for that contest will be announced on Sunday evening.
The Bluejays soared out of the gates, quickly building a 13-7 lead.
