Recap
- Providence and Creighton met for the 21st ever on Sunday in Omaha. Kyron Cartwright reinjured his ankle in the first half and it was all down hill from there. Cartwright returned to the game but wasn’t effective.

- Creighton was led by Marcus Foster with 18 points on 7/14 from the field. He added 4 assists.
- Also in double figures for the Bluejays were Toby Hegner (15), Martin Krampelj (13), Davion Mintz (12) and Khyri Thomas (11).
- Providence falls to 10-5 on the season and their record in Big East play is now 1-1.
- The Friars return home to open 2018 at the Dunk against Marquette on Wednesday, January 3rd.That game tips at 6:30pm on CBSSN.
