Villanova comes into this game at 9-4, and now 2-1 in conference play. The Wildcats blew by Xavier 71-58 following the Creighton loss, then edged out Seton Hall 73-67 on New Year's Day.

Creighton has played just once since the last matchup, with two games postponed due to COVID-19 issues. However, the team managed its own New Year's Day win against Marquette, grabbing a 75-69 double-overtime victory.

In the last matchup, Creighton smothered Villanova defensively. The Wildcats shot just 33.3% from the floor, despite shooting 42.3% on the year. 

On the other side of the floor, the Bluejays got a notable performance from their season-long leading scorer, forward Ryan Hawkins. Hawkins earned his third double-double of the season with a 19-point, 11-rebound performance.

Will Creighton be able to hold off Villanova again? Or will the Wildcats even the season series. You can catch this game starting at 8:30 p.m. ET.

Regional restrictions may apply.
