Final Thoughts: 
Well Seton Hall defeat Creighton at their own game. If I told you this game would be in the mid-80's and  90's, you would have thought Creighton would have won this game. But The Pirates came back with their visits to the chartiy stripe. The Pirates made 22 out of 32 free throws, while the Bluejays only visited their foul line 15 times and made 11 free throws. 

Creighton will be at home against Providence on Sunday, while Seton Hall will stay home to play St. John's on Sunday.
