Holding your opponent to 29.6% from the field usually will win basketball games. Unfortunately for the Creighton, they only shot 25.8% themselves as Providence squeaks out a win against the Bluejays 50-48 after Kris Dunn finishes the comeback with a shot at the end of regulation that decided to go in for the Friars.
Creighton played one of their best games on defense this season limiting Providence to 16-of-54 from the field and keeping Dunn under control for the first 33 minutes of the game. With Providence leading 48-46, Maurice Watson drove the lane to score the basket to tie things up with just under 12 seconds remaining. Dunn then drove the court under pressure and did a step-back fadeaway over the outstretched arms of Khyri Thomas as the ball bricked onto the back of the rim and fell into the basket as time expired. Fans left stunned after a grueling night of offense for both teams.
WBR photographers Adam Streur and Mike Spomer were on hand to capture photos from the game. Visit the WBR photo store to get your favorite shots, or enjoy the slideshow gallery below.
