Alyssia Faye and Shyia Smith set new career-highs, with Smith scoring a team-high 17 points and Faye adding 15 in her first career start. Sabrina Lozada-Cabbage and Carla Bremaud also contributed 11 points each.
A shorthanded Wichita State (5-4) team shot nearly 50 percent for the game and outrebounded the Bluejays, 33-29, but couldn't contain Creighton's lethal outside shooting.
