OMAHA, Neb. — Creighton coach Greg McDermott knew the No. 10 Bluejays got away with one after they lost a 13-point second-half lead, didn’t score in the final 3:28 and still managed to beat Oral Roberts 66-65 on Saturday night.
“We scored on six of our last 29 possessions and won,” McDermott said. ‘I’m disappointed we weren’t able to throw the knockout punch like we’ve done so often this year. Also pleased that we found a way with our backs against the wall.
