Creighton turned defense into offense all night to flatten DePaul and move within a game of first place in the Big East title race

After a choppy-at-best end to the first half on Saturday night, Creighton didn’t mess around and let DePaul build any momentum out of the locker room. The Bluejays assisted and scored on each of their first eight possessions of the second half, outscoring the Blue Demons 18-3 over a 3-minute and 45-second span to build a 29-point lead and never look back en route to a 93-64 victory.

“We didn’t want any let downs,” junior guard Ty-Shon Alexander said of the second-half barrage. “We wanted to lock in defensively, and as soon as we did that we ended up bringing the lead up … our guys really put it on them.
