broke a 56-56 tie, and Evansville pulled away for a 65-57 upset of

by Doug McDermott with 21 points.

which ended a six-game losing streak against the Bluejays. The Aces
limited Creighton to 40.4 percent shooting from the field,
including 4 of 22 on 3-pointers, and didn't trail until early in
the second half.

     Evansville was behind 48-41with 12:56 to go but went on a 9-2
run to tie and took the lead for good on Ryan's jumper.
