On Wednesday, Pop Isaacs was leading Creighton past top-ranked Kansas with a gem of a game highlighted by 27 points. Two days later, the team's No. 2 scorer learned that hip surgery would end his season. The Bluejays do not lack for other productive players, but Ryan Kalkbrenner and Steven Ashworth logged 38 minutes apiece against the Jayhawks after coming off recent injuries. Prior to the Wednesday surprise, Creighton was shaky, which raises the question if the win was an aberration. Should the Bluejays play to past form, the so-so Rebels should stay within single digits.
