Postgame Media Conference

Creighton - 87, Butler - 56

Q. This game was not too much different from the one last Saturday. Is Creighton just one of those teams that it's very difficult for you to control pace on? Because many of your big games this year you were able to control pace.

BRYCE NZE: Yeah, I think like Coach said, they have a lot of firepower. Jefferson got it going early. That opened up the floor for the rest of the guys. We kind of dug ourselves in a hole that we weren't able to bounce back from.

Q. I'm sure you've given more thought, but do you have any kind of timetable or any of the seniors on when you'll decide whether to come back for another college basketball season or move on to pros or something else?

BRYCE NZE: No, I've not thought about that yet. I'm just embracing what's going on right now. And after the season talk with my family and coaches about that.

Q. I don't know if you know this, but over the past three games Marcus Zegarowski has played against you all, he's 16-for-19 from behind the arc. I know he's a difficult guy to defend, but after he just makes some really insane shots, you kind of just have to sit there and throw your hands up in the air say I don't really know what else I could do?

BRYCE NZE: He's a good player. 16-for-19, that's crazy. But, yeah, like you said, if he's going to hit 16-for-19 give him credit where it's due.
