Halftime Notes: NIT Quarterfinal - Creighton 37 - BYU 38

Cougars against the Bluejays, Mormons v Jesuits, mountains rivaling the great plains. It's BYU-Creighton, and boy is it messy and not a lot of fun to watch.

When I initially began perusing the stats sheet for this glorious matchup between two high-octane, up-tempo teams, I must admit my arousal peaked whilst looking at the amount of three pointers each team shoots. It's like if you had Golden State playing against themselves, two teams who are near mirror images of one another; yet at one you've got a sickly shooting guard in Collinsworth - who appeared in warmups late due to the flu - and the undeniably sexy play of Creighton point guard Maurice Watson Jr.
