"One game removed from its massive upset against the Huskies, the Bluejays were stifled by the No. 17 Red Storm in an 81-52 whipping. It was the second-lowest scoring output of the season for Creighton as well as its second-lowest shooting percentage, 32.1-percent. "That was the best defense we played all season," Rick Pitino said after the victory. Creighton (14-14, 8-9 Big East) was held to a season low 0.70 points per possession and no one scored in double figures."
"Dylan Darling led the Johnnies in scoring for the third time this season with 17 points, four rebounds, three assists, and three steals. "I'm just trying to stay aggressive," Darling explained. "That's really just my mindset. Trying to stay engaged offensively and honestly, just paying most of my focus to the defensive side of the floor and then the offense will just take care of itself.""
