There's one often-overlooked characteristic helping Creighton's recent surge. The Bluejays don't foul much, in fact leading the nation in fewest fouls pg (10.5), by a considerable margin. Foes thus aren't getting to the FT line very often, indeed only 9 times pg across the past four, all Creighton wins. Another plus for Greg McDermott is this lack of foul trouble is keeping him from exposing a bench that got much thinner after the injury to G Pop Isaacs in early December. Meanwhile, the Hall has been taking its lumps lately, bowing by 28 (St John's) and 17 (Marquette) the past two games, failing to reach 60 points in either. The Pirates also only hit 5 of 27 triples across those losses. Play Creighton
