It’s what your dad would call a rockfight. Other thank Ty-Shon Alexander’s shooting stroke, there was nothing pretty about this ballgame, where ETSU was upset-minded but unable to finish it out.
Creighton started slow. It burned slow. The offense fizzled and popped multiple times in the first half, stalling out to a zero sum as ETSU grabbed four & six point leads and meandered between the two. If ETSU went up six, Creighton seemingly scored to cut it close, but never commandeered the lead.
It was a measure in patience watching them walk the ball up the floor, accept a pick from Froling or Krampelj, then have an empty possession as they either turned it over or launched up a low percentage shot.
