Scouting #22 Creighton (18-3, 9-2 BIG EAST)
Creighton extended its win streak to eight games with a 75-65 victory at Butler on Sunday.
Emma Ronsiek and Lauren Jensen combined for 45 points against the Bulldogs. Ronsiek leads the Bluejays with 18.3 ppg, while Jensen brings 17.0 ppg. Morgan Maly is just a step back with 14.3 ppg to form Creighton's Big Three.
Often overlooked, the Bluejay defense has secured two of the last three victories for Creighton. The Bluejays limited Seton Hall to 1-of-17 in the fourth quarter and also performed well against Marquette.
Scouting Xavier (1-18, 0-10 BIG EAST)
With 10 consecutive losses entering Tuesday's matchup with Creighton, Xavier has been significantly better at home in BIG EAST play. The Musketeers battled Providence to a 69-60 defeat, holding a third quarter advantage on Jan. 27 and kept the game close into the final frame versus Seton Hall and St. John's.
Mackayla Scarlett leads Xavier with 13.5 ppg, while Nila Blackford has a team best 8.4 rpg. Â
Forcing 299 turnovers this season, Xavier is likely to push the tempo against the Bluejays to try to get Creighton out of rhythm offensively.
Keys To the Game on February 6 (at Xavier)
The 75-65 win over Butler on February 4 gave the Bluejays their eighth consecutive win. That streak surpasses the seven-game win streak Creighton opened the 2022-23 season with and is the programs longest since winning the final eight games of the regular season and the opening round of the BIG EAST Tournament during the 2016-17 campaign for a nine-game win streak from Jan. 29 (80-77 over Marquette) to March 3 (64-55 over Butler).
With 19 Road Wins in Two Seasons, Flanery On the Verge of Evening His Career Road Mark
After posting a 12-3 road record last season, the Bluejays are off to a 7-1 on the road this season and 10-1 away from Omaha.
Two other seasons saw the Bluejays notched double-digit road wins with Flanery at the helm. Creighton closed the 2003-04 season at 11-6, while the 2002-03 season ended with a 10-7 road mark. With the win at Butler, Creighton is 156-157 on the road under Flanery.

Keys To the Game on February 6 (at Xavier)
- Execute Early: Creighton wants to get in front early to allow more minute distribution.
- Defend the Paint and Scarlett: Like many teams, Xavier has a height advantage they Bluejays will need to contend with. In addition, Mackayla Scarlett is a more than capable scorer that the Bluejay defense will work to limit.
- Take Care of the Ball: One of the top teams in the NCAA in fewest turnovers, Creighton cannot help Xavier with unforced errors or sloppy ball handling.
The 75-65 win over Butler on February 4 gave the Bluejays their eighth consecutive win. That streak surpasses the seven-game win streak Creighton opened the 2022-23 season with and is the programs longest since winning the final eight games of the regular season and the opening round of the BIG EAST Tournament during the 2016-17 campaign for a nine-game win streak from Jan. 29 (80-77 over Marquette) to March 3 (64-55 over Butler).
