Recap & Analysis:

Creighton had a 25-point lead late in the first half, an honestly surprising result against one of the better mid-major teams in the country and a probable NCAA Tournament team come March. The Bluejays had played their best half of basketball of the season on both ends of the floor, led by Marcus Foster, who scored 22 points before the half, and an opportunistic defense that forced 10 turnovers.

UT Arlington led briefly after a layup by Johnny Hamilton put them up 13-11.
