Creighton outlasts Oregon 86-73 in double OT thriller to earn spot in Sweet 16 of March Madness

Associated Press  

PITTSBURGH — Before the second overtime began, Greg McDermott looked over at Dana Altman and the two coaches and close friends shared a smile. Steven Ashworth and Ryan Kalkbrenner made 3-pointers in the second overtime as Creighton edged past Altman — the Bluejays’ former coach —- to move into the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament with an 86-73 victory over Oregon on Saturday night. “Epic game,” said McDermott, who took over at Creighton for Altman in 2010 and got his 325th career win, two away from Altman’s school record. “Not sure I’ve been part of one quite like it in 35 years.” Ashworth scored 21 points, Trey Alexander added 20, Kalkbrenner 19 and Baylor Scheierman 18 for Creighton, which will make its third Sweet 16 appearance in four years when it faces No. 1 shot Mac wanted on that possession.” After another Couisnard miss, Creighton’s Jasen Green, who had nine rebounds, dunked a putback and the Bluejays were all but flying to the Sweet 16.
