He also was able to stretch the floor and knock down a few threes which opened things up for the rest of his team mates. He finished with seven assists and five rebounds.
On a night where it seemed Carrington could do no wrong. Angel Delgado was also a huge factor putting another double-double on the board. He had 17 points and 17 rebounds as he dominated the paint for most of the game. Delgado was able to draw double teams all night which allowed Desi Rodriguez openings to finish with 18 points.
The Blue Jays were able to answer the Pirates most of the game to keep it close in the second half. NBA prospect Patton finished with 15 points but only two rebounds. He ran the floor very well and shot 7-of-10 from the field. Foster led Creighton with 23 points, six rebounds and six assists and did a good job of making plays for others.
