OMAHA, Neb. -- Creighton coach Greg McDermott knew the No. 10 Bluejays got away with one after they lost a 13-point second-half lead, didnt score in the final 3:28 and still managed to beat Oral Roberts 66-65 on Saturday night.We scored on six of our last 29 possessions and won, McDermott said. `Im disappointed we werent able to throw the knockout punch like weve done so often this year. Also pleased that we found a way with our backs against the wall. Its not like we scored nine possessions in a row to win the game. We had to get some stops. To their credit they were able to do that.The Bluejays (11-0) led by as many as 13 early in the second half, but saw the Golden Eagles (2-10) claw back to take a five-point lead with 6:08 left Creighton held Oral Roberts the rest of the way, taking the lead on Marcus Fosters short jumper in the lane with 3:28 left.The Bluejays used a zone press to trigger a 9-0 early second half run that made it 54-41. Then Creighton went cold, hitting just two of its next 14 shots while Oral Roberts scored steadily, taking the lead at 60-58 on Albert Owens short jumper with 8:45 left. Oral Roberts went up 65-60 on Owens banked-in 3-pointer.When he hit that three, we just kind of felt they were taking a lead than we wanted them to have, said Foster, who led Creighton with 22 points. So we just kind of refocused in the huddle and stepped up and played the best defense we played all night.The Golden Eagles didnt score again while Creighton managed just three field goals, a layup and a dunk from Justin Patton and Fosters short jumper. Neither team scored again as Creighton missed the front end of two 1-and-1 free-throw opportunities in the final minute.Oral Roberts coach Scott Sutton attributed the game-closing scoring drought to missed opportunities.To beat a team like Creighton on the road, you have to step up and make plays down the stretch, youve got to make winning plays, he said. The last 5-6 minutes, offensively, we had some really good looks. Youve just got to make them if youre going to beat a team ranked in the top 10 on the road.Creighton, which shot 58 percent and had 21 fast break points in the first half, hit just 37 percent of its shots in the second half and didnt have a fast break point. The high-scoring Bluejays, who have averaged 91.6 points per game, scored just 21 points in the first halfFoster had 10 points in the first three minutes as Creighton raced out to a 12-5 lead and went up by 10 on Maurice Watson Jr.s layup with 14:27 left in the half. But Oral Roberts stayed within striking distance with strong inside play and trailed by seven at half.Watson, like his coach, acknowledged that Saturdays game wasnt a strong outing, giving the Bluejays a grade of C- or C for the game.Youre not going be perfect, Watson said. You want to see things out of your players during adversity. We got challenged tonight and, regardless of the grade, we stepped up and we passed this test. Weve got to forget it. We cant let it linger and turn into another game like this.A LONG BUS RIDEOral Roberts flew into Kansas City Friday and took a bus to Omaha, at the peak of a winter storm that coated Interstate 29 with ice.Yesterday was a nine-hour bus trip from Kansas City to Omaha, which should have taken us 2 hours, 45 minutes, Sutton said. We werent able to practice yesterday. Our guys, they showed me something today.BIG PICTUREOral Roberts: Oral Roberts coach Scott Sutton was born in Omaha, the son of former Creighton coach Eddie Sutton, who led the Bluejays from 1969 to 1974 in his first Division I coaching post. The Sutton family was recognized by Creighton before Saturdays game with a jersey presentation to Scott and his brother and assistant coach Sean Sutton.Creighton: With Saturdays victory, the Bluejays have won 97 straight home games against teams that enter the contest with a record of .500 or worse, a streak that dates to 2002. The Bluejays who led 45-38 at halftime have now won 67 straight games when scoring 42 or more in the first half.UP NEXTOral Roberts: Hosts Little Rock on Monday night.Creighton: At Arizona State on Tuesday night.

The Longhorns (14-4, 3-2) got their biggest win of the season with their third in the row in the Big 12. MILWAUKEE -- The starting pitchers in Sundays game between the Milwaukee Brewers are 32 and 31 years old.One is a veteran with a pair of World Series rings on his hand while the other is a rookie phenom who has bounced around in baseballs wilderness.The latter is Brewers starter Junior Guerra, who was plucked off the waiver wire a day after the season ended in 2015. Guerra, originally slated to provide some minor league bullpen depth, has emerged as one of the teams most consistent starters, going 6-2 with a 3.06 ERA while striking out 78 in 88 1/3 innings of work.Milwaukee gave Guerra an extra day of rest coming out of the All-Star break before returning to the mound July 19, when he allowed two runs over six innings but didnt take a decision in Milwaukees 3-2 loss to the Pirates.The extra rest came as Milwaukee tries to keep an eye on Guerras workload. He has pitched one inning more than he worked all of last season while in the White Sox minor league system.We wanted to give Guerra a longer break, pitching coach Derek Johnson said prior to his last start. We think it will help but he wasnt showing any fatigue. He has been very strong.It seems like he gets better as the game goes on, which I think is a good trait. ... This is the first time he has been a starter in the big leagues, and the strain and stresss of that.dddddddddddd You hope it doesnt backfire where a guy has too much time off but I dont think it will happen.Guerra allowed three runs over seven innings while striking out a career-high 11 in his only career appearance against the Cubs -- a 3-0 Brewers victory May 19 at Miller Park.Jon Lester (10-4, 2.89 ERA) makes his second start of the second half for the Cubs. He allowed a run over 7 2/3 innings against the Mets last time out but since winning five in a row from May 27-June 18, hes 1-1 with a 5.74 ERA in five starts.After beating the Mets, Lester said hed identified some flaws with his delivery that hes since corrected.You start worrying about that stuff, youre far gone, Lester said. Then youre thinking too deep. Youre worried about things you shouldnt.Lester makes his fifth career start against the Brewers. Hes 2-2 with a 2.22 ERA in his four previous outings against Milwaukee, but hasnt faced the Brewers this season.Among Brewers regulars, only Ryan Braun (5-for-13) has more than five at-bats against Lester.The Brewers looks to take their second consecutive series with the Cubs, who have still won 18 of the last 26 meetings between the National League Central rivals.
