Creighton Looks To Avenge Embarrassing Loss To Georgetown

Creighton has been struggling without senior Maurice Watson Jr. and it was especially evident the last time the Bluejays took on the Georgetown Hoyas. The then-ranked No.16 Creighton dropped a 71-51 loss to Georgetown less than one month ago. The most telling number from that outing was Creighton’s terrible 5.6 shooting percentage from deep.

  • Creighton is 1-6 SU in their past 7 games against Georgetown.
  • The UNDER is 4-1 in the past 5 games between Creighton and Georgetown.
  • Georgetown is 4-12 SU in their past 16 games on the road.

Though the absence of Watson has hurt Creighton, sophomore Khyri Thomas has done his best to fill the big shoes. Thomas has averaged 14.6 points, 5,4 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game in the Bluejays past five outings. The sophomore struggled in the first meeting with Georgetown and scored just four points while turning the ball over three times.

The duo of Rodney Pryor and LJ Peak have formed an offensive juggernaut in the backcourt, as the guards have averaged a combined 38 points and almost 10 trips to the free throw line in the past seven. Pryor and Peak scored 20 and 18 points respectively during the outing against Creighton earlier this season.
