Bluejays Battle with Pirates will be on CBSSN
Omaha, Neb. -- After a successful road trip the 21st ranked Creighton Women's Basketball team returns home to open a two-game stretch against Seton Hall on Sunday, January 28 at 1:00 p.m. on CBS Sports Network.
Â
Scouting #21 Creighton (15-3, 6-2 BIG EAST)
The Bluejays return home on a five-game win streak, but the 77-72 victory at Georgetown was the closest of the season. The Bluejays trailed 62-61 midway through the fourth, but Lauren Jensen scored six points in under one minute (including a four-point play) to turn the tide. Down the stretch the Bluejays turned to Emma Ronsiek as she delivered eight of her 10 fourth quarter points in the final 2:34 to secure the win.
Ronsiek is Creighton's leading scorer at 18.4 ppg, while Jensen, with 16.8 average ppg and Morgan Maly with 14.7 complete the Bluejays' Big Three.
As a squad the Bluejays lead the NCAA in Free Throw Shooting at 82.5% and are second in the NCAA in Assist-to-Turnover Ratio.
Scouting Seton Hall (12-7, 4-4 BIG EAST)
The Pirates come to Omaha with a bit more rest than the Bluejays', claiming an overtime win at home against St. John's on Tuesday. Seton Hall has two of its last three and also holds an impressive 84-54 win over #23 UNLV on December 16.
Azana Baines leads Seton Hall with 15.6 ppg and 6.7 rebounds per contest, while Micah Gray is averaging 13.5 ppg. Two other players to watch for the Pirates are Kae Satterfield (8.4 ppg) and Amari Wright (124 assists), the quartet are likely to be joined by I'yanna Lops in the starting five.
Seton Hall presents a strong defensive front, limiting opponents to 55.8 ppg and just a 39.3 shooting percentage from the field.
Keys To the Game on January 28 (vs. Seton Hall)
Two Divergent Paths, Yet Both Have Produced
Upon a cursory glance it is easy to come to the conclusion that Creighton and Seton Hall are very different. Nine of the 14 Pirates on the roster have transferred in, while the Bluejays have had just three transfers into the program in the last 12 years.
Further Creighton has just two players leave their program since 2008, while Seton Hall saw six players transfer out last season.
A deeper look, however, shows both programs have produced historic success and deep loyalty.
The Bluejays have reached six NCAA Tournaments since 2011-12, including an Elite Eight run in 2021-22. Seton Hall has a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances n that time.
Further examination shows a coaching staff at Creighton that boasts six of seven graduating as Bluejays. For the Pirates that number is four of six that went to Seton Hall.
Creighton and Seton Hall Have a Spicy History
BIG EAST foes since 2013-14, the Bluejays and Pirates have added some heat to their rivalry with battles in the BIG EAST Tournament in each of the last three seasons and four times overall.
In 2022 the Pirates sent Creighton home with a 66-65 win in the Quarterfinals of the BIG EAST Tournament, while Creighton returned the favor with a 75-74 win in overtime of the BIG EAST Quarterfinals last season.

Keys To the Game on January 28 (vs. Seton Hall)
- Handle Pressure: Against Providence, Villanova and Georgetown the Bluejays struggled when pressure was first applied. Specifically in the fourth quarter against the Friars and the third quarter versus Georgetown. With the plethora of film available, Creighton will see more and more pressure defenses.
- Make Others Facilitate: Amari Wright has 124 of Seton Hall's 265 assists. No other Pirate has more than 30, thus forcing their offense to work through other hands is important. Â
- Consistency: The Bluejays allowed Georgetown to get them out of rhythm in the third quarter and will need to play a full 40 minutes to earn wins against Seton Hall and Marquette later in the week.
