Key Stats:
Butler scored on 21 of 35 possessions in the first half to build a 19-point halftime lead, CU’s largest halftime deficit of the season. The Bulldogs turned 10 Creighton turnovers in the first half alone into 20 points — TWENTY! That’s a point per minute just off of turnovers!
Creighton made 3-of-13 from three-point range in that first half and 7-of-27 for the game, their worst-shooting game of the season from the perimeter. Defensively, they allowed Butler to shoot 50.8% from the floor, and surrendered 28 points to Kamar Baldwin (11-of-18 shooting) — which, while frustrating, is understandable — and 13 to Joey Brunk, which was equally frustrating and much less understandable.
