Creighton and St. John’s combined for 32 turnovers on the night, forcing all who watched this affair to loll their heads in an uneasy attempt to see anything but this torrid affair. Yet, with the right mindset, one could convince themselves that a basketball game wasn’t necessarily taking place and something bigger was in its stead.
Ronnie Harrell Jr., the seldom used 6’7 G/F for the Bluejays, entered the game in the first half as the crowd swelled with applause as he stepped in bounds, warm-up tossed asunder. I’ve began referring to him as ‘Spaceman Slim,’ a nickname created in one part by his teammates and the other part by my imagination, proceeded to make an impact by logging 10 minutes of action with a +8 efficiency rating.
