Advanced Stats: Villanova Basketball Four Factors vs Creighton (Round 2)

The first 15 minutes of this game were very confusing to me. It was like the scoreboard didn't reflect what I was seeing. Nova was playing well, really well, but that didn't seem to matter as Creighton seemed to be able to answer with just the right play or a clutch shot to keep the game close. Then, as if a switch was hit, Nova's 3's couldn't miss and Creighton couldn't buy a shot. Or so it would seem. In reality, Nova stated shutting down the boards. Not only were they getting themselves plenty of second chances, but they weren't allowing any for the Blue Jays.
