No. 5 Creighton beats 12th-seeded UCSB 63-62 with clutch FTs

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Christian Bishop made both ends of a one-and-one with 16 seconds left to give fifth-seeded Creighton the lead and the Bluejays hung on to beat 12th-seeded UC Santa Barbara 63-62 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Creighton advanced to face 13th-seeded Ohio in the West Region on Monday. Bishop was fouled by Amadou Sow on the floor after grabbing an offensive rebound and went to the line with the Gauchos up 62-61. The junior came into the game making 57%, but dropped in both barely touching the rim. Creighton continues a turbulent season in which coach Greg McDermott was suspended for racially insensitive language.
