Walker: 3 takeaways from Creighton basketball's charity exhibition win over Purdue

Who led Creighton to victory? Ryan Nembhard had a big night for the Bluejays, scoring 22 points and dishing out 7 assists. He also added 6 rebounds and 3 steals. Nembhard was all over the court for Creighton from the opening tip, and he played a major role in the team's win.

Creighton shot the ball well from beyond the arc. The Bluejays hit 11 three-pointers in the game, which was a big factor in their victory. Creighton was able to stretch the Purdue defense with their outside shooting in the exhibition game, and it led to a lot of open looks for the Bluejays.

Creighton's defense was solid. The Bluejays held Purdue to just 38.5% shooting from the field, and they also forced the Boilermakers into 15 turnovers. Creighton's defense was able to get Purdue out of sync in the contest, and it was a big reason why the Bluejays were able to pull out the win.
