Key Stats:
Creighton’s defense allows Marquette to make 11 of their final 15 shots to end the first half, and 15 of their first 20 to begin the second. Over that 23-minute stretch, Marquette shot 74.3%. That’s…how do you say? Not good? Not good.
Standout Performance:
Marcus Foster continued to struggle from outside (2-8 from three) but was a scoring machine everywhere else — he was 11-16 on shots inside the arc, including 8-11 in the second half. He scored 30 points in 37 minutes, and seemed to leave even more out on the floor; of his five missed shots inside the arc, three were rushed jumpers that weren’t totally in rhythm.
