For those of you who hoped to tune in this afternoon and see a cage match in which nine players took turns beating Paul Scruggs, congrats, that must have exceeded your wildest expectations. For the rest of us, for everyone with the 23rd of December off and hoping to spend a day watching ball, this game was barely worth the time. After a month plus of playing excellent basketball, the Musketeers finally faltered. That the officials and Creighton faltered along with them did nothing to make this much of a spectacle.
The game started as an absolute barnburner.
