Creighton started the game on a 14-4 run and opened the second half with a 15-2 flurry, never trailing in an 80-65 win over Arkansas-Little Rock Sunday afternoon at Qwest Center Omaha.

Creighton's lead would grow as large as 33-15 with 4:40 to go in the first half before UALR mounted a 15-2 surge to close out the first half. During that span, the Jays were just 1-for-6 with three turnovers on the offensive end while allowing UALR to score in seven of its final eight trips down the floor.

The Bluejays took advantage of a pair of UALR technical fouls to put together a 10-0 burst early in the second half. Ahead 38-32 with 17:57 to play, UALR's Wayne Burton was issued a technical foul while awaiting a Bluejay inbounds pass. P'Allen Stinnett would drain both shots at the line.

On CU's ensuing inbounds, Stinnett would be fouled while shooting. He would make his first attempt and the Jays grabbed the offensive board on the second attempt and fed Kaleb Korver, who nailed a three-pointer. Korver would then get a steal in the backcourt and find Antoine Young, who rattled in a trey for his first points of the season to give CU a 47-32 lead.

After Solomon Bozeman threw away a no-look pass and UALR was called for another foul, UALR head coach Steve Shields would be whistled for a technical foul for arguing outside the coaching box.

Stinnett would sink another free throw, pushing CU's lead to 48-32 at the 17:11 mark. The flurry was the nucleus to Creighton's 15-2 run to start the second half, which quickly returned CU's lead to an 18-point margin.

Creighton had five players in double-figures, led by 13 points and five assists from Stinnett. Kenny Lawson Jr., narrowly missed his first career double-double with 11 points and nine rebounds to go with a pair of blocked shots. Also in double-figures were Kaleb Korver with 12 points and Young and Cavel Witter with 10 each. Creighton made 11 three-pointers and won the rebound battle, 37-32.

UALR got 16 points each from Bozeman and Matt Mouzy. The Trojans committed 18 turnovers and shot 40.4 percent for the game.

Creighton won its second straight and is 2-1 on the season while UALR dropped to 1-3.
