Recap & Analysis:
The pace that Tuesday’s game was played at shouldn’t have been much of a surprise, as both Creighton and North Dakota rank among the fastest tempo teams in college basketball. The Bluejays had 82 offensive possessions — around two per minute, which is pretty amazing when you think about it — and scored 111 points, the seventh-most in program history.
Four minutes into the game, the teams were tied at 11, with both of them shooting lights-out from the tip. UND made it’s first five shots, but that’s uncharacteristic for them as we touched on in the Primer.
