Georgetown needed a response, and it got one.
The Hoyas beat Creighton 76-68 on Feb. 5, 2026, in a matchup of teams arriving with identical 12-10 records and plenty of urgency. Georgetown entered in a WWWLL stretch; Creighton came in at LLWLW. By the final horn, the Hoyas had the cleaner finish and the bigger result.
What decided it
This game turned on Georgetown’s ability to control the final portion of the night. In a contest without any overtime, the Hoyas’ shot-making and decision-making late separated them from a Creighton team that couldn’t generate enough stops to flip the script.
Scoreline snapshot
Final: Georgetown 76, Creighton 68
Quarter-by-quarter scoring was not available, but the eight-point margin reflected a game Georgetown managed from the front when it mattered most, keeping Creighton from finding the one run that typically swings a road result.
Context and what it means
With the win, Georgetown improved its position in a crowded middle tier, pulling to 12-10 and halting the slide implied by its recent WWWLL form line. For Creighton, the loss dropped it to 12-10 as well, a missed opportunity to build off the momentum suggested by its LLWLW stretch.
In February, these are the games that shape the path forward: not just who wins, but who can execute under pressure when the score tightens and every possession carries weight. Georgetown did that better on this night.
Up next
Both programs leave this one with the same record but different trajectories. Georgetown gets a confidence-building result to carry into its next outing, while Creighton heads back looking for answers after allowing 76 points and failing to match the Hoyas’ late-game pace.
