Creighton shoots down Ducks in Game One of CBI championship by the Sports Network.
Omaha, NE (Sports Network) – Doug McDermott scored 21 points in Creighton’s 84-76 win over Oregon to take the first game of a best-of-three series in the Championship Round of the CBI Tournament.
Gregory Echenique added 15 points and nine rebounds for the Bluejays (23-14), who have breezed into the CBI finals with three double-digit victories. Jahenns Manigat and Josh Jones each provided 11 points in the win.
Joevan Catron posted 15 points and nine boards for the Ducks (19-18), who reached the title series by defeating Boise State, 79-71 in the semifinals. Prior to that, Oregon took down Weber State and Duquesne.
Garrett Sim and Jay-R Strowbridge each had 14 points in the loss as the series will switch to Eugene on Wednesday for Game 2. Game 3 will also take place in Eugene on Friday if necessary. Early in the game, the Bluejays went on a 9-0 burst to take a 22-13 lead with 13:42 left to play in the first. Oregon managed to cut its deficit to two a couple times before Darryl Ashford’s tip-in made up the 44-37 halftime lead in favor of Creighton.
The Bluejays never surrendered the lead in the second half, going up by double-digits following McDermott’s three-pointer just two minutes in.
The lead grew to as many as 17 before the Ducks threatened in the final minutes. Catron’s jumper with 2 1/2 minutes remaining made it a 76-72 game and Strowbridge’s trey a minute later kept it a four-point contest.
However, the Bluejays held on down the stretch.
