No. 17 Creighton 75, Bradley 58: Doug McDermott scored 17 of his 25
points in the second half as the host Bluejays used a second-half spurt to
win their 15th straight game against the Braves in Omaha.
McDermott made 6-of-7 shots in the second half and finished
with a game-high seven rebounds for Creighton (20-3, 9-2 Missouri Valley
Conference) while Austin Chatman scored a career-high 16 points and Gregory
Echenique pitched in 10 on 4-of-4 shooting. The Bluejays shot 69.2 percent in the second half.
Dyricus Simms-Edwards led Bradley (13-10, 5-6) with 18
points, Walt Lemon Jr. added 15 and Tyshon Pickett had 11.
After entering halftime down 30-27, Creighton scored the first
eight points of the second half on two layups apiece from McDermott and
Echenique. A Lemon three-point play pulled the Braves within 43-41 with 13
minutes left before McDermott made another layup to spark a 22-7 run.
Ethan Wragge and Chatman made 3-pointers early in the
stint and McDermott scored nine straight to finish it off and push the Bluejays
cushion to 67-50 with 4:37 remaining. Bradley did not threaten down the
stretch.
