When I heard both Ochefu and Groselle would be either out or limited in this game I thought to myself, "My, there may be quite a few jump shots, perhaps some 3-pointers in this game?"
My brain treated me right, as through the first four minutes of gameplay the Wildcats and Bluejays traded 3-pointers over and over again. It was 12-12 up until the first media timeout, with Mo Watson (x2), Khyri Thomas, and Toby Hegner sinking threes to start the game for the Jays while Nova got some threes out of Brunson (x2) and Jenkins (x2).
Creighton started the game with a bizarre switch-defense, with heavy rotation on shooters, occasionally leaving someone wide open.
