Creighton out to make better memory at Big East Tournament

Creighton hopes for a change of fortune after crushing losses in its last two Big East Tournament openers and another late-season injury to a key player.

The Bluejays are the top seed for the first time.

They likely will be without their second-leading scorer in guard Marcus Zegarowski. He is doubtful for the first game at Madison Square Garden in New York.

The tournament opens with two games Wednesday. St.  John's plays Georgetown and DePaul faces Xavier (19-12). Creighton plays St. John's or Georgetown the next day.
