The first half was a little shaky, we didn't play smart basketball but we settled down and made some shots. In the second half, we had more assists, rebounds and we were more composed. We were fortunate to be down by only two at the half as poorly as we played, but we did a lot of good things in the second half. The big factor was the boards. We wanted to keep the ball inside.
Cookie is such a hard-nosed player.
Last year he got 16 points on us with one hand. I think we did a decent job of doubling down on them. This is a big win for Creighton and for the fans. The big thing was that we out-rebounded them. Our offense started out terrible.
