No. 15 Creighton rode the momentum of 14 three-pointers to upset No. 1 UConn 85–66 at CHI Health Center in Omaha on Tuesday night. The victory for Creighton marked its first ever win over a No. 1-ranked opponent, and snapped UConn’s 14-game winning streak, which was the longest active streak in Division I hoops.
Bluejays senior guard Steven Ashworth led Creighton with 20 points, which included five made threes, while star center Ryan Kalkbrenner played all 40 minutes and poured in 15 points, five rebounds and four blocks in the victory.
As anticipated, the Creighton faithful rewarded the hard fought victory with an epic court storm.
