Key Stats:
Creighton shoots 8-12 from three-point range in the first half, and 5-9 in the second, good for 61.9% — their best shooting performance of the entire season. They assisted on 19 of their 29 made baskets, including an incredible 11 of their 14 first-half baskets.
They gave up 13 offensive boards, but Butler missed 39 shots (including 20 missed three-pointers leading to strange bounces); in that context, it’s not nearly as bad as it seemed, as giving up an offensive rebound 33% of the time is only slightly higher than the D1 average of 29.
