It was sort of cruel for Creighton to do what they did to Loyola Maryland today. In the first half the Jays failed to put in electric dunks, played the game with no sense of urgency, couldn’t run their offense in transition, and shot less than 25% from three.
Loyola Maryland, with a 5 point deficit, probably went into the locker room absolutely stoked that they still had a dog in this race. They didn’t shoot particularly well from the field either, but it appeared their defense was doing just enough to stymie the brazen Bluejay attack.
Then Creighton’s came out in the second half and just demoralized them completely.
