NICEVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Austin Chatman and Isaiah Zierden each scored 10 points to help No. 23 Creighton beat Middle Tennessee 57-47 on Saturday and finish third in the inaugural Emerald Coast Classic.

Creighton (6-1) bounced back from its first loss of the season. Mississippi defeated Creighton 75-68 Friday in the semifinal of the eight team tournament at Northwest Florida State College.

Jaqawn Raymond led Middle Tennessee (3-3) with 9 points. Joshua Phillips put in a layup to give the Blue Raiders their only lead at 4-3, but Creighton went ahead for good on a jumper by Toby Hegner with 15:15 left in the first half.

That started a 19-6 run and the Blue Jays had a commanding 36-15 lead at the half. The Blue Raiders narrowed the gap in the second half but could come no closer than eight points.
