How It Works
Creighton Bluejays vs Kansas Jayhawks — Second Round, March 19, 2022
72–79R2
About This Game
This second-round NCAA Tournament matchup featured an unlikely narrative: a Creighton team that had struggled from distance all season suddenly found the range, making 12 three-pointers in a rare hot-shooting performance. Yet the game ultimately belonged to Kansas, whose dominance in the paint proved too much to overcome. The Jayhawks' 21 field goals compared to Creighton's 9 revealed the decisive advantage—Kansas simply controlled the interior, translating that superiority into a commanding 47-34 rebounding edge. Arthur Kaluma carried Creighton's offense with 24 points, including four from beyond the arc, while dramatic moments like Trey Alexander's late three-pointer with 2:25 remaining (cutting the deficit to three) kept the Bluejays alive. However, Kansas' balanced execution held firm. Both teams made over 18 free throws in this low-scoring battle, but the Jayhawks' 19 conversions proved crucial. When the final buzzer sounded, Kansas escaped 79-72 to book a Sweet 16 trip, their paint dominance and rebounding control trumping Creighton's unexpected perimeter fireworks. Every possession and momentum shift of this tournament classic is now preserved as a Gameprint.
Game highlights: Creighton's surprising 12-make three-point performance, Kansas' interior dominance (21 FGs vs 9), Jayhawks' 47-34 rebounding advantage, Arthur Kaluma's 24 points including four threes, Kansas' tournament-clinching free throw execution (19 makes)
