Key Stats:
Creighton’s 28.8% shooting percentage was their lowest in five years. The 25-point margin is their biggest since the infamous 83-52 loss to San Diego State in Las Vegas last season; before that you had to go back 18 years to find another game where the Jays were beaten by that much.
Their three-point shooting in particular was atrocious at 9-of-34 (26%) as a team, but Denzel Mahoney (1-of-10), Damien Jefferson (0-of-4) and Mitch Ballock (2-of-6) combined to go just 3-for-20. Those same three struggled all the way around — Mahoney was 1-of-13, Jefferson 1-of-8, and Ballock 3-of-8.
