Key Stats:

Creighton turned it over 18 times, shot poorly from three-point range (7-of-23, 30.4%), and won by double-digits.

Say what?

That’s not typically a sentence you can write about these Bluejays, but they haven’t typically played with the intensity and toughness that they did on Friday night, either. They destroyed Butler on the glass, 40-29, forced the normally-surehanded Bulldogs into 13 turnovers of their own, played solid defensively — holding a Butler team that averaged 74 points per game coming in to just 61 — and scored 40 of their 75 points in the paint.
