Chris Harrison-Docks was the only Blue Demon with a hot hand in the early-goings of the first half on Saturday afternoon against the Creighton Blue Jays, dropping 13 points (4-6 from three-point range) and corralling four steals.
Billy Garrett Jr. and Eli Cain had a modest showing in the first 20 minutes. Cain made one of six field goal attempts for two points; Garrett was a perfect two-for-two at the foul line.
Outside of Harrison-Docks, the Demon’s offense was flat, but flashes of stingy defense kept them in the game. Creighton turned the ball over nine times and struggled on the offensive glass, grabbing only two offensive rebounds.
