Creighton was a 25 point favorite coming into this one.
As far as first halves go, it was a pretty unspectacular half of basketball for the Jays. As they’ve been out-rebounded in more affairs this year than not, they were struck again by the pure hustle and position play department by the Golden Eagles, trailing 18-14 after the first 20 minutes.
At the same time, the Jays led 45-38.
Maurice Watson Jr., had a pretty poor half. Perhaps it was all the hype that showered over him during the 8-day layoff with countless articles noting his assisting abilities.
