No. 9 Creighton holds off UConn 76-74 in overtime
Christian Bishop scored 19 points and No. 9 Creighton beat UConn 76-74 in overtime Sunday in the Huskies’ return to the Big EastDECEMBER 20, 2020•ASSOCIATED PRESS
Throws together successful outingBishop recorded 19 points (8-11 FG, 3-6 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 28 minutes in the 76-74 OT win over UConn on Sunday.
ImpactBishop once again was the leader for the Bluejays during the win Sunday. The forward led the team in points and strung together a few rebounds to go along. Luckily this time he was accompanied by fellow teammates who helped him through the close win. Bishop has shown that he can lead the team, but has not been consistent so far this season. He will need to elevate his game more, if he wants to be in the conversation at the end of the season.

Explodes in lossBouknight recorded 40 points (13-24 FG, 5-12 3PT, 9-12 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 40 minutes in the 76-74 OT loss to Creighton on Sunday.
ImpactBouknight essentially was the entire team in the loss Sunday. The guard led the Huskies in points by a landslide with the next highest point total being 12 points by fellow teammate R.J. Cole. Bouknight did not add many rebounds or assists, but he clearly made up for it in points. He has not shied away from shooting so far this season and it clearly shows with the guard averaging 18.5 points per game prior to this matchup. It is very clear that UConn can compete with the higher ranked teams in the conference, but they will need more than just Bouknight stepping up to the plate.
