The Creighton Bluejays came back from 16-down in the second half to defeat the SIU-Edwardsville Cougars, 70-65. Creighton was forced into a bad position late, losing Ryan Kalkbrenner within just a few minutes of the first half to foul issues. From there, the Cougars were able to go and take a 12-point lead going into halftime, and extended the lead to 16 early in the second half. Creighton had little offensive rhythm early, and gave up 32 points in the paint in the first half without Kalkbrenner.
Then, as Creighton has done multiple times this year, the Bluejays stormed back.
