It was a bad night for basketball at the McGuire Center, and I don’t just mean the ice storm falling on southeastern Wisconsin limiting the crowd to well short of the announced 1,232 people in attendance. Neither Marquette nor Creighton managed to crack 41% shooting across the entire game and only once — Marquette in the final frame — did either team manage to shoot even 50% for a quarter.
At the end of it all, it was Creighton leaving the building — not going home right away because of the ice storm, mind you — with a 55-44 victory over Marquette.
