... were really very good.
Shooting 34/68 50%, took 6 more shots than Creighton and had 2 more buckets
3's 6/14 42.9% Creighton took 29 3's
and shot 34.5%
20 assists, 7 steals, 6 blocks and only 7 turnovers.
But got outrebounded by 10, I think they were tied in boards in the first half.
The Hawks are going to win most games with those stats. They were equal to or better than the 8th rank team in everything except rebounding. And the guys that played the bulk of the minutes all shot pretty well except Bowen at 1 for 6.
My HS coach told us that rebounding is the stat most often aligned with winning. Of course, that was 50 years ago, but it held up last night.
p.s. Oh yeah, FT's. Creighton got 10 more opportunities and made 8 more. Not good.
