The Hoyas traveled to Omaha today for a Valentine’s Day matchup in the second leg of a back to back against the Creighton Blue Jays. In the first leg, Creighton came away with a 80-66 victory fueled by Ryan Kalkbrenner and Ryan Hawkins combining for 52 points and 27 rebounds. The loss dropped the Hoyas to 6-17 and more notably, 0-12 in the Big East. In an attempt to stop the record breaking skid and slow down Creighton’s front court, Patrick Ewing deployed Malcolm Wilson as his starting center. It marked Wilson’s first start since the Marquette game on January 7th and meant Ryan Mutombo returned to the bench after not registering a single minute in the second half of Saturday’s game.
