Trailing 44-33 as the final seconds of the first half ticked away, Nik Graves made a three to send Creighton to the locker room down by just eight. And after beginning the second half on a 6-0 run, they had Baylor momentarily staggered.
But only momentarily. Every time the Jays made a run — CU tied the game three times in the second half but never led — Baylor had an answer. Every time momentum swung Creighton’s way, Baylor made a big play to grab it back. Part of that was because Baylor is a good team.
