Produces 20 points O'Connell collected 20 points (8-15 FG, 3-8 3pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, three steals and two assists in 35 minutes of Tuesday's 90-77 victory over Arkansas-Pine Bluff.

Impact O'Connell hasn't scored 20 points since he started with Duke in 2018, and after going 1-7 in the first half it looked unlikely he would do so again. However, the senior composed himself at halftime and returned to drain 7-8 shots and steal the ball three times in the second half. That surge pulled Creighton back from a nine-point deficit and catapulted them to victory.
