Creighton’s 89-85 win over Butler on Tuesday night showed that their improved play during a three-game winning streak was not a mirage. Yes, they were pushed around in the paint, perhaps even more than feared, their point guards struggled against Butler’s pressure, and at times they had trouble getting into their offense. But they won the game. And three weeks ago, Creighton probably loses this game and probably by double digits.
Actually, they did lose this kind of game, and more than once.
Baylor grabbed an offensive rebound on 52.4% of their missed shots in a 81-74 win.
