The Creighton Bluejays (10-6) aim to keep their four-game home winning streak alive as they welcome the Providence Friars (9-8) on Tuesday, January 14, 2025, with tip-off set for 8:30 PM ET.
Offensively, the Friars have had a challenging season, but their scoring has shown signs of life recently. In back-to-back games, Providence posted 84 points against Butler and an impressive 91 points versus Seton Hall. While those teams are struggling, the Friars’ offensive surge is a positive development they’ll look to build upon.
The Bluejays have won three of their last four outings, including a signature victory over St. John’s, handing the Red Storm their first conference loss. Their only stumble in that stretch came on the road against a formidable Marquette squad. Creighton has been thriving in tightly contested matchups, gaining valuable experience in late-game scenarios and finding ways to close out victories.
