Inside the Box Score:
Coming into Saturday’s game, we wondered in the Primer if Xavier’s rebounding and ability to draw fouls in the paint would prove too much for CU to overcome, or if Creighton’s pace, quickness and ability to score from three-point range could turn this into a game Xavier couldn’t keep up in. In the end, CU dictated the flow of the game, and that’s a big reason why they won.
“That’s a credit to our guys and their work ethic,” Greg McDermott said on his postgame radio show.
