Creighton University's men's basketball team triumphed over Seton Hall in a nail-biting triple-overtime game at The Rock, with Ryan Kalkbrenner scoring 13 points and Creighton leading by two with under seven minutes to play. The game was characterized by its physicality, with only 24 fouls called over 45 minutes, and both teams' head coaches showing frustration over the numerous timeouts in the final minute. Kadary Richmond of Seton Hall managed to score 5 out of 13 attempts. The Big East matchup was part of an exciting day of college basketball that also featured buzzer-beaters and other close games.

If only this bucket counted for Seton Hall... The Pirates tied it up with free throws and we're heading to TRIPLE Overtime 😱🍿 https://t.co/SlyqgYu5Ot
Triple OT in Jersey. Just nuts. Quick whistle — in what has been a brawl of a game — negates what would have been the go-ahead basket for Seton Hall.
WILD slate of early college hoops games: * Texas at the buzzer * St. Johns gets a million chances - but cant close out Marquette * Seton Hall-Creighton 2OT, in a game where a literal murder could happen on the court and the refs wouldn't blow the whistle. CRAZY day so far 😤😤
The refs are letting Seton Hall and Creighton get away with murder. Incredible there are only a combined 24 fouls through 45 minutes in such a physical game. The Big East really is different.
Lot of timeouts and a lot of unhappy head coaches in the final minute of Creighton - Seton Hall.
Creighton is bringing legit road toughness to this game. Up two at Seton Hall under seven minutes to play. Kadary Richmond is 5 for 13 for the Pirates.
Visiting @BluejayMBB up four on @SetonHallMBB at the half. Kalkbrenner giving the Pirates fits (13 points) and the Hall, usually dominant on the offensive glass held in check. Just three OR so far.
