Kalkbrenner leads Creighton past NC State in March Madness | |
DENVER (AP) The Creighton Bluejays couldn't hit anything from outside. No worries - OK, maybe a little - they simply went inside to their big man. Ryan Kalkbrenner scored a career-high 31 points and sixth-seeded Creighton overcame a rough 3-point shooting day to fend off No. 11 seed North Carolina State 72-63 on Friday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The 7-foot-1 Kalkbrenner did a little bit of everything for the Bluejays, which included hitting a big 3-pointer on a day the team finished 3 of 20 from long range. MORE | |
