Creighton vs. Nebraska: Halftime Notes

It's been nothing short of a sloppy start to this one, as Creighton trails Nebraska 28-27 after one half of play.

The two teams have combined for 15 turnovers after 20 minutes of action. The Bluejays have failed to capitalize on Nebraska's mistakes, but the Huskers have pounced in a big way. After 20 minutes, Nebraska has scored 11 points off of their in-state rival's turnovers, which have proven to be enormously costly.

Nebraska's best player Terran Petteway has shown up in a big way in the first half. He's got 14 points and shot 5-for-10 from the field, with a 3-for-7 mark from the perimeter. That's a game high mark thus far as no other player has hit the double digit mark.
