Continuing on in the College Basketball Crowd, WVU basketball will take on Creighton on Saturday.

After their 82-77 comeback win in overtime over Stanford on Thursday night, the Mountaineers had to wait for the conclusion of the next game to find out their next opponent. Creighton then beat Rutgers 82-69 to join West Virginia in the semifinals.

WVU and Creighton will tip-off from the MGM Arena in Las Vegas, Nev. at 1 pm PT and 4 pm ET. The game will be broadcast nationally on Fox.

West Virginia almost squandered a first half lead against Stanford, but mounted a late surge to send the game into overtime in the final seconds. Honor Huff hit a trio of foul shots after being fouled beyond the arc with about three second remaining on the game clock and then led the way in the extra session.
