OMAHA, Neb. -- Creighton finally found out what it's like to win a close game.
The Bluejays turned back No. 18 Butler each time the Bulldogs got close and held on for a 72-64 victory Saturday night.
Creighton's first 13 wins were by 10 points or more, and it has three losses by three points or less.
"We haven't been in many close games, and when we were, we lost," coach Greg McDermott said. "This was one where it was close enough at the end that we had to grind it out. The confidence you get from that is huge.
