No. 14 UConn Hosts Creighton in Big East Showdown

UConn looks to maintain its perfect home record as Creighton aims to challenge behind standout performances from Kalkbrenner and Ashworth.

UConn enters the game with an 8-0 home record and a 5-1 Big East conference standing, aiming to extend its dominance in regular-season conference play.
Alex Karaban leads UConn with 16.1 points per game and recently bounced back with a 19-point performance against Georgetown after a tough loss to Villanova.
Creighton, with a 4-2 conference record, is bolstered by Ryan Kalkbrenner and Steven Ashworth, who combined for 40 points in their recent win over Providence.
UConn will be without freshman forward Liam McNeeley, sidelined by a high ankle sprain, but continues to rely on its depth and defensive intensity.
Creighton has historically performed well against UConn, holding a 7-2 series lead since 2020, though UConn has won two of three meetings at home in Storrs.
