Jamiya Neal's career-high of 24 points was pivotal in leading Creighton to a 68-63 victory over No. 14 UConn, snapping their impressive 28-game home winning streak.
With this defeat, UConn suffered its fifth loss this season to an unranked opponent, highlighting a surprising decline against lower-ranked competition after only four such losses in the past two seasons.
Creighton initially struggled from beyond the arc, missing its first three 3-point attempts, but quickly regained momentum by hitting four consecutive three-pointers in a crucial stretch.
Alex Karaban's four points initiated a 12-2 run for UConn early in the second half, signaling their attempt to regain control, but Creighton responded effectively to maintain the lead.
