With 0.8 seconds left in Wednesday’s game, Creighton led 85-82 with the ball. That’s a nearly impossible situation in which to lose. Their win probability was north of 99.5%, CBSSN’s Brent Stover and Bob Wenzel started congratulating Creighton for the solid win, CU’s radio crew was doing the same, and fans inside the arena were already celebrating.
Not so fast. This is Creighton basketball we’re talking about. If there’s a way to turn “nearly” impossible into realty, it seems like they will find the “nearly” more often than just about anyone else, no matter how bizarre or unique or convoluted it has to be.
