Carl Jones scored 29 points, Ronald Roberts and Langston Galloway each had 12 and Saint Joseph's spoiled No. 19 Creighton's first week in the Top 25 in five years with an 80-71 win on Saturday.
Doug McDermott had 26 points and 10 rebounds for the Bluejays
(7-1), who used an undefeated start to make The Associated Press'
Top 25 for the first time since the first two weeks of the 2006-07
season.
Led by Jones' second-half surge, the Hawks (7-3) put a quick end
to Creighton's ranked fun.
Hard times had hit Hawk Hill the last two seasons. When Galloway
lobbed an alley-oop pass to C.J. Aiken in the waning moments, the
packed crowd in the cozy Fieldhouse erupted and students stormed
the court in celebration.
