- Evansville finally figured out how to close out a game Tuesday night -- with timely shooting and near perfect defense. The Purple Aces almost held Creighton (No. 15 ESPN/USA Today, No. 17 AP) scoreless over the final 5 minutes and broke a 56-56 tie on Colt Ryan's 17-foot jumper with 3:08 left, rallying from a seven-point deficit in the second half for a 65-57 upset of the Bluejays.
