Series with Bowling Green: Bluejays lead Falcons, 2-1
Creighton and Bowling Green will meet for the second time in the postseason on Friday. In 1994 the two teams met in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. Creighton upset the host Falcons in that contest, 84-73. The two teams met twice in a home-and-home during the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons with each squad claiming a win in its own arena.

Scouting Bowling Green (20-6)
The Falcons are a squad that likes to play small and cause chaos. Bowling Green forces 19.4 turnovers per game and averages 10.3 steals per contest.
Teams that force turnovers at that clip love to play with tempo.
Leading scorer Lexi Fleming is a triple threat on offense. She can shoot the trey (57-of-159), gets to the line (89-of-111) and can penetrate.
Defensively the Falcons are a bit undersized, but will pressure each pass.
Scouting Creighton (9-11)
Temi Carda has been on a mission since scoring 24 against #1 Connecticut on Feb. 25. She led the BIG EAST with 23.0 ppg during three contests in the BIG EAST Tournament. During that run she tied her career-high with 26 in the opening round win over Georgetown, then raised it with 29 in Creighton's 83-76 win over Seton Hall.
Helping lift the senior at the BIG EAST Tournament has been a cast of characters. In the win over Georgetown sophomore Carly Bachelor delivered her first double-digit performance of the season with 13 points, while freshman Emma Ronsiek grabbed 12 rebounds.
Against Seton Hall a trio of younger players stepped to the forefront. Ronsiek and fellow freshman Morgan Maly each posted a double-double as Ronsiek finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds, while Maly had 18 points and 11 boards. A spark in the fourth quarter was sophomore DeArica Pryor, with eight of the career-high 10 points in the final frame.

Creighton's Keys To the Game
- Ball Security: The Bluejays need to prevent careless turnovers and subsequently easy buckets for the Falcons.
- Three-point Shooting: The neutral court with an NBA three-point line and a taped on WBB line will give the advantage to the team that adjusts early.
- WNIT First Game: The first half of game one in the WNIT can provide a challenge. Which team can bring the best energy and toughness has the edge.
