Talk about a tale of two halves for Creighton. Trailing by nine at half, the Bluejays managed a surge in the early part of the second half to defeat Arkansas-Pine Bluff, 90-77.
The Golden Lions were dominant to start the game. They were led by Trey Sampson, who had a game-high 20 points and 7 rebounds in just the first half alone. Arkansas-Pine Bluff held the game within about a 10-point margin for most of the first half, where Creighton gave up the ball nine times and allowed six points off turnovers.
Then, within the first four minutes of the second half, Creighton started to chop away at the lead faster than a professional lumberjack.
