[Box Score]

For 20 minutes on Friday night, we saw what Creighton’s ceiling could be, especially during a 7-1/2 minute stretch where they had a 23-0 run that featured 10 straight defensive stops and a barrage of beautiful offensive execution. For the other 20 minutes, we saw how far they have to go before they reach that ceiling consistently. After committing just one turnover in a first half where they outscored #16 Iowa State 46-23, they had 10 in the second half and saw the Cyclones cut the lead into single digits.

“Iowa State’s a hard team to play.
