In a game that didn't start until nearly midnight, Creighton led nearly the entire way and
comfortably beat Valparaiso 68-43.
Nate Funk had a good game, shaking off his shooting woes.
Funk had only two in the first half against Valparaiso's starters, but ended the game with 22 getting almost all of his scoring in the final 10 minutes when Creighton was already up 20 and Valpo had their deep subs in.
Nate was still playing and scoring right up to the 2 minute mark when he finally left the game for good with Creighton ahead 66-43.
Anthony Tolliver had 11 points, 6 rebs.
Josh Dotzler did play and in 22 minutes had 4 points and one assist, thus negating any talk about a redshirt year.
However, in a collision, Dotzler severely hurt both hands and dislocated fingers on BOTH hands in the incident, and is not likely to play for a few games.
Ty Morrison, battling back from illness, had no points, no rebounds in 11 minutes of deep bench time in the blowout.
No Valpo player had more than 8 points.
One other fact of note, Nate Funk passed Bob Gibson (of St. Louis Cardinals baseball fame) on the all time Creighton scoring list. Nate is now 17th on CU???‚¬?„?s all-time scoring list.

Fact remains, Funk was 3-26 from 3 since the Nebraska game with about 3 of those being guarded so I stand by the fact that he needed to keep playing and shooting. If you had Crouch or Ruffin shooting 11% over the last month from 3, would you want them in the game when they're starting to feel it?
