The Creighton Bluejays’ had already knocked out 10-seed Providence and 2-seed Villanova this weekend in the Big East Tournament and their reward was a semifinal matchup against 3-seed Seton Hall. The Pirates had swept the regular season series after an 86-82 win at Creighton in December, followed by a 77-71 win at home in February.
Third time’s a charm for the Bluejays as they continued the string of upsets and beat Seton Hall 77-56 at McGrath-Phillips Arena to book a spot in the final. It’s the third time in Big East history a 7-seed made it to the final, but never has one won before.
