The second-seeded Bluejays edged the Huskies 71-62, capping off a successful season despite losing their second-best player after eight games. Creighton’s stifling defense allowed just nine points against UConn, while the Bluejays’ offense fired on all cylinders, led by Jamiya Neal’s 19 points and Jasen Green’s season-high 15.
For UConn, a lackluster defensive effort in the first half exposed deep-seated issues with shoddy decision-making and limited physicality, ultimately contributing to their demise. Despite being the third-best team in the Big East this season, they struggled to contain Creighton’s disciplined defense, which tormented UConn players who dared attack the basket.
