Creighton Ends UConn's 28-Game Home Winning Streak With 68-63 Upset

Jamiya Neal's career-high 24 points propelled Creighton to a key Big East win over No. 14 UConn, shaking up NCAA tournament prospects.

Creighton defeated No. 14 UConn 68-63, snapping the Huskies' 28-game home winning streak, their first home Big East loss since January 2023.
Jamiya Neal led Creighton with a career-high 24 points, while Ryan Kalkbrenner and Steven Ashworth scored 16 and 12 points, respectively.
UConn's offensive struggles continued as they played without standout freshman Liam McNeeley, who remains sidelined with a high-ankle sprain.
The win bolsters Creighton's NCAA tournament resume, marking their third Quad 1 victory of the season and boosting their KenPom and NET rankings.
Late-game officiating drew scrutiny after a controversial foul call denied UConn a chance to tie the game, though Creighton's free-throw shooting sealed the win.
