Key Stats:
James Bouknight was amazing, scoring 40 points on 13-of-24 shooting. He drew 11 fouls with all of his drives to the rim. But the rest of the Huskies were atrocious: his teammates combined to shoot 11-for-43 overall and 2-for-18 on three-pointers. And the Huskies had 13 turnovers to just nine assists.
Creighton, too, had more turnovers (16) than assists (13), which is rarely a winning formula for the Jays. Throw in the fact that they made 7-of-27 from three-point range — and 3-of-17 in the second half — and in most any other year would have told the tale of why they lost.
