Saunders Providing the Spark in BIG EAST Play
Freshman Rachael Saunders has become Creighton's spark of energy during her first campaign. Her impact has resonated with her teammates in games as well as practice.
Six times in conference play the freshman has been on the floor for 10 minutes or more. In those games Creighton has gone 5-1, including victories over #19 DePaul
(85-82 on Dec. 29) and #13 Marquette (71-65 on March 1). The lone loss came at home to Villanova (54-52 on Jan. 4).
Greene To Return for Senior Day on Sunday
Junior Ali Greene is expected to return and start for Creighton in her final game as a Bluejay on Sunday against DePaul. Athletically a junior, Greene is in her fourth season as a Bluejay and plans to graduate following the fall 2019 semester. Greene was forced into retirement four games into the 2018-19 season by a torn meniscus and accumulations of injuries to her right knee.
BIG EAST Championship Seeding Up For Grabs in Final Weekend
The final day of regular-season action in BIG EAST women's basketball is upon us as teams battle for the six remaining seeds in the conference tournament. Four squads have locked up their spots in the BIG EAST Tournament presented by Jeep – No. 1 seed Marquette, No. 2 seed DePaul, No. 3 seed Butler and No. 10 seed Xavier. Creighton could climb as high as the five seed and fall to the seventh seed, pending Sunday's results.
Faber Shines in Upset Win Over #13 Marquette
Senior Audrey Faber delivered 18 of her game-high 24 points in the first half to help the Bluejays raced out to a 33-13 second quarter lead. Creighton held of the pesky Golden Eagles in the second half, not allowing Marquette closer than 10 until the final two minutes of its 71-65 win.
Bluejays Remain Perfect, 5-0, when Flanery Jumps in the Layup Line
Over the past two seasons head coach Jim Flanery has jumped into the Bluejays' layup line prior to five games.It began at Marquette on Feb. 4, 2018 in a road pink game. Flan continued the trend in Creighton's pink game against Seton Hall on Feb. 10, 2019. Then did it once more in the Bluejays game at Xavier on Feb. 17, 2019, also a road pink game. At the urging of his squad Flan participated in the layup line at Providence. A few differences is that it was not a pink game, thus he did not have his pink basketball shoes. In addition it was the first time Flan did not convert on the reverse layup. Despite the changes, the Bluejays moved to 4-0 when Flan has jumped into the layup line.
Versus Marquette on March 1, Flan returned to the layup line in his customary pink shoes and dropped in the reverse layup in the pregame warmup. For the fifth consecutive time, the Bluejays followed the lead of the coach with a victory.
