Jalen Wilson was calm as he had to give the go-ahead for Kansas in the last few seconds.

The Redshirt newcomer quietly pressed the 3-pointer with a 42-second lead on Tuesday evening, only to smudge Bluejays player Marcus Zegarowski, who is trying to tie a 3 on the other end. But as Wilson watched, the Big East Player of the Year missed the last of three fouls the preseason, allowing the fifth-placed Jayhawks to escape with a 73-72 win.

“I just had a lot of confidence in myself. My team has great faith in me, ”said Wilson, who missed most of last season due to injury. « We said to ourselves, » We’re going to win this game. We’re going to win this game. ’”

Wilson finished the race with 23 points and 10 rebounds. Thanks to Zegarowski’s Miss, his role as a hero solidified. Christian Braun added 14 points and missed a foul shot that could have ended the game at 12. 5 seconds left while David McCormack added 13 points as the Jayhawks (5-1) won their fifth straight against the Bluejays.

« We were lucky that your best player missed one late. Very happy, ”said Kansas coach Bill Self. “But the game should never have been in this situation, even though it was a great game and both teams could have won. We got a chance to put ourselves in a position where this wouldn’t happen and we screwed it up. ”

Denzel Mahoney gave Creighton (3-1) a chance. He hit a 3-pointer 1:22 to get the Bluejays within 70-68, then grabbed Bryce Thompson’s bag and rolled to the tie just over a minute ahead.

At that moment, Wilson drilled his 3 after a nifty kick-out from McCormack and Zegarowski missed an answer 3 when Braun caught the rebound and was fouled. But the sniper missed the front end of a one-on-one and gave Creighton a chance to tie. Zegarowski discharged his attempt and Wilson got the slightest arm.

« It was one hell of a college basketball game, kind of bad luck someone had to lose. Really unfortunate we did it, ”said Creighton coach Greg McDermott. “Really proud of our team, proud of the way we competed. ”

Zegarowski finished the race with 16 points, despite being followed all night by defender Marcus Garrett and being 5 of 14 points off the ground. Mahoney led the Bluejays with 19 points while Christian Bishop and Damien Jefferson each had 13 points.

“Marcus is a perfectionist so he’s dejected,” said McDermott, “but like I told him, I can’t feel bad because I know all the work he’s done himself to get him to this moment prepare. Sometimes you prepare and it doesn’t work. ”

The Bluejays survived an early 11-0 run by the Jayhawks and faced an 8-0 slump in the middle of the first half. By the end, Kansas had built a 39-35 lead in a game that – at least when compared to two of the first two fanless games at Allen Fieldhouse – had the flow of March.

Despite the experience of four returning starters, the Bluejays struggled with sales problems mid-way through the second half and this allowed Kansas to move forward. Thompson hit a 3-hand tying the game, and Braun added another a few minutes later when the shot clock ran out to give the Jayhawks a 58-50 lead.

Creighton went almost four minutes without scoring in the half, but the Jayhawks failed to capitalize and held onto a 68-63 lead when Mahoney began his late takeover attempt that gave the Bluejays a chance.
