Morning After: Creighton Blasts Out of the Gates to Big Lead, Holds On the Rest of the Way for 86-70 Win over Cal Poly

[Box Score]

Inside the Box Score:

In the first half, Creighton had 14 assists on 20 made baskets. They were 7-of-10 from three point range and 13-of-20 everywhere else. In the second? Look away; it’s hideous.

Two assists on just nine (!!) made baskets. 2-of-12 from three-point range.

Certainly the 1-3-1 zone that Cal Poly employed after halftime bothered them, but their spacing was not as good, either, and they took too many rushed shots. Mostly, they looked like they’d hit a wall. They did get to the line a ton, and made 15-of-19 from the charity stripe, but with this just the first of a four-games-in-eight-days stretch, looking gassed halfway through the first game is not promising.
