Emotions were high on Friday evening Madison Square Garden While Creighton went to the Big East final about the two-time defending national champions in UConn.
The Bluejays Were buying out to a victory and were able to expel the ball for the last seconds.
With the second Bluejays placed that led 69-62, they received a defensive rebound with less than 10 seconds, and Huskies coach then Hurley gave a signal for his team to walk up the clock without polluting.

Jamiya Neal, however, left along the left sidelines for a slam with 1.5 seconds and hung on the edge for a pull -up. After his skirmish with Diarra, Neal waved his arms to shoot Creighton fans in the sale of the audience.
Husky’s guard Hassan Diarra Did Neal in the chest and seemed to go on a fraction of a second with his fists, because the two were face-to-face.
Creighton Center Ryan Kalkbrenner separated them by pushing Neal away while Whistles blew and players came from the benches in Madison Square Garden.
Order recovered fairly quickly, but the emotions were still tense after the game.
“I mean, they were already over seven seconds,” Diarra said. “He didn’t want to drip the ball. Went to a chic dunk. I just felt it was disrespectful for the basketball game.”

Neal admitted that he “became entangled in the emotions of the game” and apologized.
Hurley and Bluejays coach Greg McDermott already approached each other along the sidelines to shake hands when Neal was on his way to his Dunk. Immediately afterwards McDermott seemed to apologize with Hurley, and again when the game ended.
Creighton and Uconn have already had their beef this year. Hurley taunts Creighton fans last month after the huskies had brought away a win, saying goodbye to the audience and shout: “Two rings!”
Last year Hurley threatened too “Knock -Out” a Creighton fan.
