Recap & Analysis:
From the opening tip, Creighton was locked in Friday night, seemingly determined to put a vastly overmatched Maryland Eastern Shore team out of reach early. They’d allowed North Dakota to hang around a week ago because they weren’t as disciplined on either side of the ball as they could be, and piled up points late once UND tired from their pace. In this one, they had a double-digit lead for 35 of the 40 minutes, and before the first media timeout had pretty much ended whatever slim hope UMES had of competing.
