No. 1 UConn's 14-game win streak snapped by Creighton: 'We didn't expect this'

Steven Ashworth led the No. 15 Bluejays with 20 points in Creighton's 85-66 upset over No. 1 UConn on Tuesday night.

Creighton went into its game against UConn having lost all six of its previous meetings with No. 1-ranked teams and never coming closer than 10 points. The No. 15 Bluejays finally broke through on their seventh try, building a double-digit lead in the first half and knocking off the Huskies 85-66 Tuesday night. 'We played a really good game, and we beat an incredible team, a team that has a legitimate chance to win a national championship,' Creighton coach Greg McDermott said.

'We’ve had a great run, but it just kind of felt like today we ran into them playing great and us not playing as well as we need to here in Omaha,' Hurley said. 'We were definitely stunned. We knew this was a dangerous game. One of the better teams in the country. But we didn’t expect this to happen.' UConn’s Tristen Newton scored 17 of his 27 points in the second half, including 10 during the 18-5 spurt that helped pull the Huskies within 74-64.
