Inside the Box Score:
The box score from this game comes to us straight from the Bizarro World. To wit:
Creighton outrebounded Michigan 38-27, including 18-4 on the offensive glass. Usually against a bigger, longer team — and particularly on the road — when Creighton loses, you can point to rebounds (or lack thereof) as a culprit. Not in this game. The Jays were undersized but scrappy as hell, and outworked Michigan on the boards. Unquestionably. And yet.
Creighton took 20 three-pointers — just over a quarter of their total shot attempts (73).
