Recap & Analysis:

Whew.

After blowing a seven-point lead and falling behind by 10 points in the second half, Creighton got 11 straight defensive stops as part of a 13-0 run to retake the lead. Then they made clutch plays on both ends of the floor to come away with a win that seemed to be more and more improbable early in the second half.

The first ten minutes had 11 lead changes, but after the Bluejays went ahead 20-19 on a jumper by Marcus Foster with 10:37 to play, they began to slowly put some separation between themselves and the Red Storm.
