Notes: Evansville able to slow Bluejay duo
Evansville came away from Tuesday's victory over Creighton feeling pretty good about the way it played defense against the two players who scored 31 of the Bluejays' 57 points. Doug McDermott led Creighton with 21 points and Gregory Echenique added 10 in the 65-57 loss at the Ford Center. But the undersized Purple Aces were relieved that the two Creighton inside players didn't do even more damage.
