Creighton sought and extracted revenge for last week’s upset Tuesday night, soundly beating Georgetown 63-48 in a return game in McDonough Arena. In their second straight the Hoyas looked very much like a team ending a punishing three-games-in-six-days stretch against the Big East leaders.
From the tip, the outcome was foreseeable. Creighton was the aggressor, attacking the rim on offense and digging and doubling in the paint on defense. The Bluejays were fresh, and motivated after casually yielding 86 to the Hoyas in the teams’ meeting in Omaha last week. Georgetown, by contrast, was slow and sluggish.
