Greg McDermott continues to push back at questions about his team’s perceived struggles in the first half. The way he sees it, the 10th-ranked Creighton Bluejays are keeping up a 40-minute pace that their opponents have only been able to match for half the time. That was the case again on Tuesday night as the Buffalo Bulls came out of the visitor’s locker room at CenturyLink Center Omaha for the second half facing a 41-39 deficit only for Creighton to send them back to it 20 minutes later with a 93-72 loss.
The Bluejays’ offense scored 52 points while their defense held the Bulls to 35.
