OMAHA, Neb. — Liam McNeeley scored a season-high 38 points and had 10 rebounds, and UConn overcame a 14-point deficit late in the first half to end No. 24 Creighton's nine-game winning streak with a 70-66 victory. Alex Karaban's floater in the lane broke a 65-all tie and the Huskies won for the first time in five trips to Omaha since rejoining the Big East in 2020. Creighton shot just 30% in the second half while losing for the first time since Jan. 3. McNeeley carried the Huskies in his second game back from an ankle injury that sidelined the freshman standout for eight games.
