Scouting Seton Hall (6-6, 1-3 BIG EAST)
Seton Hall has been sidelined for two weeks, last playing in a game at Villanova on Dec. 31.
The Pirates come to Omaha with a diverse quartet of scoring options led by 17.6 ppg from Andra Espinoza-Hunter. Lauren Park-Lane is one small step back at 17.3 ppg. Rounding out the Pirates in double figures are Sidney Cooks at 14.4 ppg and Mya Jackson with 10.7 ppg.
Seton Hall can score at an elite level, but they have been lacking a bit. The Pirates are allowing 71.2 ppg this season. One particular area Seton Hall has been challenged in is rebounding. The Pirates are allowed 40.9 rebounds per game.
Scouting Creighton (10-4, 5-1 BE)
The Bluejays have gotten off to a hot start this season in part by Creighton's ability to be a chameleon. The Bluejays proven adept at winning in different ways, whether that be pounding the ball in the paint or connecting from long range.
One key to Creighton's success is sharing the basketball, the Bluejays are averaging 19.0 assists per game to rank ninth in the NCAA.
A trio of sophomores lead the way for Creighton with Emma Ronsiek leading the way at 12.2 ppg. Just one step back is Morgan Maly (12.0 ppg) and Lauren Jensen (10.6 ppg).
Defensively the Bluejays have been successful at gang rebounding and creating more pressure on the ball this season. The Bluejays are averaging 36.6 rebounds and 14.9 turnovers per contest.
Another particular of strength for Creighton this season has been its depth. The Bluejay bench has outscored the
opposing bench in 11 contests, building an edge of 158 points.
Keys To the Game on Friday, Jan. 14
Players to Watch for Creighton: Morgan Maly and Emma Ronsiek:

Keys To the Game on Friday, Jan. 14
- Transition Defense: Seton Hall will try to speed up the Bluejays, forcing live ball turnovers on defense and using speed to disrupt the Creighton defense.
- Three-Point Shooting: Creighton went 5-for-25 from beyond the arc, the second time this season the Bluejays were held under seven treys. While not as reliant on the three-pointer, the Bluejays need to connect 7-10 times.
- Response: Creighton has responded to each loss this season with at least one win. That trend will need to continue for the Bluejays to reach their goals.
Players to Watch for Creighton: Morgan Maly and Emma Ronsiek:
Maly was instrumental in the Bluejays' 77-76 win in overtime last season in New Jersey. In two games against the Pirates last season she delivered 38 points and 18 rebounds. Ronsiek, meanwhile, will need to provide a force for Creighton in the paint, both on the glass and offensively.
