11/27/2007 9:45:00 PM | Women's Basketball
Creighton had three turnovers on its first three possessions to set the tone in a dismal performance by the Bluejays. Once the Jays did maintain possession of the ball, their shots weren't falling, as they opened the game 1-for-13 from the field in falling behind by 25. CU didn't make its second field goal of the game until 8:31 into the contest.
The second half saw little improvement from the Jays, as the closest they would get would be a 24 point margin. CU's largest deficit of the game came when the Jayhawks were up 85-45 with five minutes to play.
KU's Danielle McCray and Sade Morris tied for game-high honors with 16 points each, as the Jayhawks shot 57 percent for the game, including 56 percent (5-9) from three-point range.
Sara Cain led the Bluejays with 12 points. Sam Schuett came off the bench to score 11 points for the Bluejays, making all six of her free-throws to remain perfect on the year. Megan Neuvirth led the team with nine rebounds and five assists, despite playing just 21 minutes due to foul trouble. CU finished 18-of-67 from the floor for 26.9 percent, while they made just 5-of-24 three-pointers to shoot 20.8 percent.
CU did out-rebound the taller KU squad, 43-41, including 24 offensive rebounds for the Jays. Freshman Kellie Nelson tied her career-high with seven rebounds in 16 minutes.
The Bluejays continue their season-long six-game road trip at another Big 12 venue on Friday night. CU travels to in-state foe
