Key Stats:
In these teams’ first meeting, Xavier missed 13 free throws (16-29) in a five-point Bluejay win where CU made plays down the stretch and XU did not. On Saturday, the roles were reversed. Creighton was 11-21 from the line, including four huge misses in the final five minutes. There were a boatload of other storylines in this game, but if the Jays shoot even a *little* better from the charity stripe, the outcome of the game is likely different and most of those storylines have a different tint than they do.
