Sort of like a tinder date with a someone way out of your league, it looked so promising early on.
Creighton looked vintage in the first seven minutes. The offense popped off the screen and ran with the up-tempo pace that we basketball fans swoon over.

Ty-Shon Alexander nailed a trey. Damien Jefferson put home a ferocious two handed dunk. Things clicked.
