Morning After: Providence 70, Creighton 66

Creighton shoots 23-57 (40.4%) from the floor and 8-21 from three-point range (38%), while Providence shoots an almost idential 22-56 (39.3%) overall and a much worse 4-24 from three-point land (16.7%). The teams were nearly dead-even on the glass, as well, with PC edging CU 36-34 overall and 7-5 on offensive boards; the result was no real advantage for either team on second chance points, with Providence squeaking past the Jays 12-11.

The difference in the game, therefore? Creighton committed five more turnovers than Providence (12 to 7), leading directly to a 16-4 Providence edge in points off turnovers and indirectly to a 32-22 edge in points in the paint.
