In dropping their second straight game, Creighton turned in their clunkiest performance of the season. They began the game by making just one of their first 12 shots, including 11 in a row. They couldn’t hit from anywhere, going 1-3 on layups, 0-3 on midrange jumpers, and 0-6 on threes, putting them in a tough spot — there’s no adjustment to make when literally nothing is working. Compounding matters, while their offense was a brick factory their defense surrendered nine made field goals on Providence’s first 14 attempts.
Without even watching the game you’d have a good idea of how that went for the Jays, and you’d be right — the Friars led 23-6 at the under-12 timeout.
