Keys to the Game w/Providence
- Jump out early: Playing a team on an extended losing streak brings a host of mental battles. For the Bluejays it is important to get to a lead and keep the pressure on the Friars.
- Take care of the ball: In the first meeting Creighton had committed 17 turnovers.
- Rebound: Providence is one of the few teams that Creighton holds a rebounding edge on. The Bluejays must exploit that advantage.
