Key Stats:
Creighton forces 17 turnovers, while holding Akron to just 15 assists on their 27 made baskets — mainly due to their defense on Isaiah “Big Dog” Johnson, their leading assist man who had zero assists in the first half and just three for the game. CU converted those 17 turnovers into 20 points, and held a 21-5 edge in fast break points.
Standout Performance:
Marcus Foster scored 27 points on a night where he wasn’t shooting the ball all that well from three-point range, going 2-8 from outside, which is frightening.
