Key Stats:
Creighton shot 24-33 on two-point shots, and outrebounded Butler 34-30. They were just 7-23 from three-point range, but completely dominated the paint, and blew out the twelfth-ranked team in the country.
Courtesy of WBR’s Matt DeMarinis, who tweeted this out last night, how’s this for a stat? Creighton was out rebounded by 15 against #9 Wisconsin and had more turnovers (17) than assists (14) against #12 Butler. They won both games by double-digits.
Standout Performance:
All season, Khyri Thomas has drawn the assignment of defending the opponent’s best player, and time after time, he’s shut that player down.
