Dan Hurley was displeased with UConn's defensive effort in the loss, stating 'The defense has been a joke' and noting 'bad individual defense' throughout the game. Creighton scored 45 first-half points as UConn struggled from the opening tip.
Despite the loss, freshman Braylon Mullins scored a game-high 25 points, though he missed part of the second half with an injury. UConn faces a challenging schedule with upcoming games against Villanova and St. John's.
