No. 15 Creighton knocked off UConn 85-66 Tuesday night for the program's first win over a No. 1-ranked team. In doing so, the Bluejays halted what had been the longest active win streak in Division I at 14 games.
OMAHA, Neb. -- Creighton went into its game against UConn having lost all six of its previous meetings with No. 1-ranked teams and never coming closer than 10 points."It's a historic game for our program," Creighton coach Greg McDermott said.
"When I watched that Marquette-UConn game, I've got to admit I wasn't feeling warm and fuzzy about our chances," McDermott said. "I do think we did a bad job coaching tonight, our players did a bad job playing, I did a bad job coaching," Hurley said."Your huddles aren't going to be super energized when you haven't lost in two-plus months. ... We were definitely stunned. This wasn't the game we expected, we knew this was a dangerous game and a quality opponent and one of the better teams in the country. But we didn't expect this to happen.
Creighton entered Tuesday boasting three of the top six leading scorers in the Big East -- Scheierman, Alexander and Kalkbrenner -- but it was Ashworth who went off against the No. 1 team in the country, his 20 points almost doubling his season average of 10.6.
