Creighton coach Greg McDermott believes victories like the one his 11th-ranked Bluejays earned against Seton Hall can be the difference between a good season and a great one. Despite getting outhustled and outrebounded and missing 5 of 6 free throws in the last 3 minutes, Creighton held on to win 72-71 on Sunday. ''For us to miss free throws and turn it over at critical times is not who we are,'' McDermott said. ''But we still found a way to win, and it looks just as good on that side of the column as any of the other ones.'' Doug McDermott had 29 points to become one of the top-10 scorers in college basketball history, and Grant Gibbs added a season-high 16 points as the Bluejays (23-4, 13-2) took a half-game lead over Villanova in the Big East standings.
