Here’s how to watch the Saturday’s battle of the undefeateds in Omaha between Villanova and Creighton online.
The Big East regular season is here – and the stage is set for a New Year’s Eve clash for its two best teams so far – Villanova and Creighton, with matching 13-0 records.
Villanova, coming off a national championship win and returning six of its eight major rotation players, was a consensus top 5 team in the preseason, and was largely predicted to cruise to its fourth straight Big East title.
The Wildcats have remained undefeated so far, but have found the post-championship going tough at times. They have been without Phil Booth, a key backup guard, due to injury, and just squeaked by a middling DePaul to open Big East play. Look for them to depend on the play of early season NPOY candidate Josh Hart, currently averaging 20.5 points per game with 6.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists, along with a slew of capable 3-point shooters (the team’s currently hitting 38.8% of its triples) for offense in this contest.
Creighton, meanwhile, was considered a low-end top 25 team and generally picked to finish somewhere in the middle of the Big East pack – though certainly toward the top.

Behind the continued stellar play of diminutive point guard Maurice Watson (averaging a near double-double with 13.5 PPG and 9.1 APG) and impact transfer Marcus Foster (averaging 18.8 points per game while hitting over 50% from the field), Creighton has proven to have one of the top offenses in the country. They’ve cruised to a 13-0 record, having won every game besides two by double digits, and look poised to challenge Villanova’s Big East hegemony this Saturday and beyond.
