For 40 minutes on Saturday, Creighton looked precisely like the team they were expected to be at this point of the season. Against a Butler defense giving up the second-fewest points in the Big East, partially due to their defensive talent but mostly because of the methodical pace they play at, Creighton hung 93 points on the board. They did it by turning the game into a 72-possession affair, a veritable track meet by Butler standards; it’s the most possessions in any Butler game that didn’t go overtime in over two years. The last time they played a regulation game at a faster pace?
