[Da Coach]

Evansville has outscored Creighton 10-2 to start the second half and now leads 50-41 with 17:42 left. The Creighton fans are stunned, and as quiet as they ever get. Creighton with a bunch of turnovers, and their guards are allowing open shots, and Colt Ryan (21 points) and Denver Holmes (17 pts) just aren't missing many.

[Da Coach]

Colt Ryan now has 33 points with 10 minutes left in the game. McDermott has just 8 points as Evansville leads 65-53.

McDermott came into the game averaging 20.9 ppg in MVC games, and Colt Ryan is averaging 20.8 ppg. I think Ryan is trying to make a point, as well as take over the MVC lead (conference games only). Overall, McDermott is averaging 23.2 ppg and Ryan 20.0 pg.

The shooting percentages, especially Evansville's shooting on the road, are spectacular-

Evansville and Creighton are tied at 81 and going to overtime-http://stats.statbroadcast.com/broadcast/?id=2652

Colt Ryan has tied his career high so far with 39 points (which he set against Bradley)
Denver Holmes had a career-high 25 points.

McDermott has with 20 points for Creighton.

[Bravesfan]

Wow! What a game! Creighton with the furious comeback and now up 85-83 in overtime!

[Bravesfan]

Colt just hit his career high of 41 points, the first time Creighton allows a player scoring 40 points in a game since 1985!

Evansville now up 90-87 with 2 minutes to go.

All I can say is Creighton's defense stinks!

[Bravesfan]

CU up 91-90, Evansville ball. Doug McDermott a pathetic 6 of 13 from the free throw line tonight!

[Da Coach]

Final-
Evansville 92
Creighton 93

Colt Ryan with 43 points, but he missed the final shot from three as overtime ended.
Denver Holmes with 25 points
McDermott finishes with 21 points and Antoine Young with 21.

[lightsout]

Colt Ryan ends up with 43 points but misses a three to win the game. Creighton wins in Omaha 93 to 92.

[Bravesfan]

One of the wildest games I have seen in a while! Nice that the nation got to see the Valley at it's best tonight (at least on the offensive end of the ball)!

[it's boogie time]

Wild finish, but a tough game to watch with 50+ fouls called and over 50 free throws. Evansville played not to lose at the end of regulation and it cost them.

[pauly616]

This was Evansville game to win. Their last two possessions in regulations ended up at shot clock violations. Creighton got really lucky not losing their fourth game out of the last six. Hopefully we can win on thrusday night and give them a run for their money on friday!
