In two meetings a year ago, Creighton led by six points with four minutes left at Seton Hall, and by four points with four minutes to go in the rematch in Omaha. They were outscored 27-6 — TWENTY SEVEN to SIX!! — in those eight combined minutes and ended both games with a loss. The stat lines in those two games down the stretch were the basketball version of a horror story.
- 1-13 overall shooting
- 0-6 on 3pt shots
- 0-4 on layups
- 4-5 on free throws
- 5 turnovers
All of that adds up to a ghastly 0.
