WASHINGTON (AP) — Freshmen L.J. Peak, Tre Campbell and Paul White combined for 37 points, leading No. 25 Georgetown past Creighton 76-61 on Saturday in a Big East matchup.

With a pair of starting seniors, Joshua Smith and Jabril Trawick, on the sideline because of foul trouble, Georgetown (9-4, 1-1) relied heavily on its first-year players, who provided 25 of 29 points during one span.

Campbell’s 3-pointer early in the second half wrapped up a 15-2 spurt that put Georgetown ahead 39-31. And White’s 3 with 7 1/2 minutes to go gave the hosts a 61-46 edge.

Smith did wind up with 16 points, and Trawick with 12. But Big East preseason player of the year D’Vauntes Smith-Rivera was limited to five.

Devin Brooks and Zach Hanson led Creighton (9-6, 0-2) with 11 points each.
