[ Box Score ] Seven minutes into the second half, Creighton and Butler were tied at 54 in a game that had gone through nine ties and 15 lead changes.

Ten days ago, Providence was 7-8 overall and 1-3 in the Big East, having lost four straight since losing All-Big East guard Bryce Hopkins to injury for the second straight season. Hopkins had been averaging 17.7 points and 7.7 rebounds, and just like a year ago, his absence left a giant hole in their lineup. Unfortunately for the Friars, his rehab isn't going smoothly, and a medical redshirt isn't out of the question.

[ Box Score ] Creighton led for nearly 37 minutes of Tuesday's game, but they never really were able to pull away until early in the second half.

Winners of four of their last five games, Creighton is opening up a realistic path back to the NCAA Tournament for the fifth straight season. Despite November and December struggles that left them on the outside looking in, Greg McDermott's team is doing what his teams almost always do: showing steady improvement as the season progresses. They now appear on 40 of the 59 brackets tracked by BracketMatrix, mostly as an 11 seed, and trending up. They're ranked #40 by KenPom, back to where they were before their 81-57 loss at Georgetown on December 18.

Creighton's two road wins last week have them at 6-2 in the Big East. They're 3-0 at home in league play, and 3-2 on the road, with five of their 10 road games already in the rearview mirror including the games at UConn and Marquette. They've played the 3rd-hardest league schedule to this point, while the other three teams at the top of the standings with them have played the three easiest.

[ Box Score ] With 5:25 left in the first half of Saturday's 15th annual Pink Out, Creighton trailed last-place Seton Hall 28-20.

Two of the hottest teams in the Big East meet Wednesday when Creighton hosts Xavier. The Bluejays have won seven of their last eight games, including five straight since losing 79-71 at Marquette. Meanwhile, the Musketeers have won four of five — and over the last 11 days, they've beaten Marquette in Milwaukee (59-57), beaten UConn at home (76-72) and had a 16-point lead at St. John's before losing in overtime. They're the only team to beat Marquette in league play so far, and came within a whisker of sweeping UConn, taking the Huskies to overtime back in December before falling 94-89.
