OMAHA, Neb. – Despite four players in double figures, including the first career double-double by Qudus Wahab, the Georgetown University men's basketball team fell at No. 11/14 Creighton 91-76 on Wednesday night in a BIG EAST Conference game at CHI Health Center Omaha. With the setback, Georgetown slips to 15-15 overall and 5-12 in BIG EAST play. Creighton improves to 23-7 on the season and 12-5 in league action.
 
ON THE RECORD
"They were getting everything. They were getting 3's, they were also getting drives to the basket. In the first half, I think they had 14 second-chance points. When they are getting everything, it's hard to beat them. When you lose two guys - either one of them can get 30 on any given night - it's hard. So we're trying to manufacture points. We have one more game and it's going to be a tough game but anything can happen. Then it's the new season. The new season starts at the BIG EAST Tournament. Anything can happen in the BIG EAST Tournament."  - Head Coach Patrick Ewing
