a win over then-No. 18 Oklahoma, but 1-4 in true road games with only a victory at Nebraska to its credit. Creighton returns 11 lettermen from last year’s 27-8 team that reached the third round of the NCAA Tournament for a third consecutive season. Chatman is the only returning starter from that group. The Bluejays are trying to replace the most vic-torious senior class in program history, as Grant Gibbs, Jahenns Manigat, Doug McDermott and Ethan Wragge combined for 107 wins as well as 5,964 points, 872 three-pointers, 1,062 assists and 2,250 rebounds at CU. All four men are now play-ing professionally, including McDermott in the NBA with the Chicago Bulls after he averaged 26.7 points per game and swept 14 National Player of the Year awards last winter.

Scouting DePaulDePaul is 8-7 on the season, including a 2-0 league mark after opening BIG EAST play with home wins over Marquette and Xavier. Four men average in double-figures, a grouping led by Illinois transfer Myke Henry (13.5 ppg., 5.1 rpg.).  Reigning  BIG  EAST  Freshman  of  the  Year  Billy Garrett Jr. (13.4 ppg., 3.7 apg.) leads the team in assists, while sophomore big man Tommy Hamilton IV (12.8 ppg., 7.1 rpg.) tops the club in rebounding. The Blue Demons score 73.6 points per game but allow 73.8 per contest. DePaul has made 120 three-pointers (while allowing just 76), but have been outrebounded by 4.9 per game.

The CoachesGreg McDermott (Northern Iowa, 1988) is in his fifth season as head coach at Creighton. He is 116-44 with the Bluejays. McDermott has previ-ously been a head coach at Iowa State (2006-10), Northern Iowa (2001-06), North Dakota State (2000-01) and Wayne State (1994-2000). He owns a career mark of 396-239 in his 21st season and is 265-175 in his 14th Division I campaign. McDermott is assisted by Darian DeVries, Steve Lutz and Patrick Sellers. Oliver Purnell (Old Dominion, 1975) owns a 50-92 mark in his fifth year at DePaul, moving his career mark to 444-371 in 27 years overall. He has previously served as head coach at Radford, Old Dominion and Dayton, leading his teams to six

NCAA’s and eight NIT’s. Purnell is assisted by Ron Bradley, Billy Garrett and Renard Phillips.

The Series With DePaulDePaul owns a 15-10 lead in the series, but the Bluejays have won the last five meetings. The teams met 12 times between 1977-86, but have met just seven times since then, including three victories last season over the Blue Demons. Creighton is 3-6 all-time at home against DePaul, but has won the last three meetings in Omaha. Greg McDermott is 3-0 against DePaul, and coach Oliver Purnell. Purnell is 0-3 when facing Creighton.

Last GameCreighton dropped its third straight game, fall-ing 76-61 at No. 25 Georgetown on Saturday. The Bluejays led most of the first half but a 9-2 run before the break gave the Hoyas a 33-31 lead at intermission. GU then scored the first six points of the second half and did not trail again. Georgetown had five players in double-figures, led by 16 points from Joshua Smith. Creighton was paced by 11 points each from Devin Brooks and Zach Hanson.

able for purchase at the following Lawlor’s Custom Sportswear locations: Westroads Mall and the Superstore located at 84th & J Streets. Last year’s Creighton vs. Cancer jersey auction raised more than $48,200, and the past three sea-sons have seen more than $93,000 raised.

New Season, Similar ResultsBefore getting too discouraged by last week’s league-opening losses at Providence and at Georgetown, it’s important to remember that Creighton’s 27-8 team from a year also fell by dou-ble-digits in trips to Providence and Washington, D.C. Of the five common opponents so far this season and last season, the same result has happened four times (Note, if teams met more than once last year, the venue where this year’s game took place was used when comparing to last year). That’s a good omen, since Creighton won last season against each of the next eight teams it’ll face in league action.Opponent Last Season This SeasonChicago State W 90-58 W 84-66Nebraska W 82-67 W 65-55Tulsa W 82-72 L 77-64at Providence L 81-68 L 65-53at Georgetown L 75-63 L 76-61

Making Them IllThe last visiting team to win a conference game at CenturyLink Center Omaha was Illinois State on Feb. 9, 2013. Since then, Creighton has played eight games against Illinois teams (including non-conference). Not only is CU 8-0 in those contests, but they’ve won all eight games by double-digits and posted an average victory margin of 19.6 points.

Been Here Before And Answered The BellCreighton doesn’t have many three-game losing streaks, as this is just the fourth time in five seasons under Greg McDermott that the Bluejays have lost three games in a row. By comparison, Wednesday’s foe, DePaul, has had 10 losing streaks of three or longer in the same five seasons. The last time that Creighton lost three straight games (in February of 2013), the Bluejays

answered with an 8-1 stretch that included an MVC Tournament title and NCAA Tournament win.

What About Four?Creighton looks to avoid a rare four-game losing streak on Wednesday. Creighton hasn’t lost four straight games since Dec. 23, 1999 - Jan. 6, 2000. Meeting Creighton on Wednesday will be DePaul, which is off to its first 2-0 league start since 2007-08 and has never started 3-0 in BIG EAST play.

Rare 0-2 League StartCreighton is off to an 0-2 start in league play for just the third time in the last 21 seasons. Creighton’s 2009-10 team started 0-2 in confer-ence play before answering the bell and finishing fourth in the MVC with a 10-8 league record. CU’s 2007-08 club also started 0-2 before right-ing the ship with five straight wins. That team finished 22-11 overall (10-8 MVC) and reached the second round of the NIT. Creighton will be looking to avoid its first 0-3 start in conference play since the 1993-94 club started 0-7 in the Missouri Valley Conference.

The Bigger, The BetterCreighton has won 25 straight regular-season home games against teams from the ACC, Big 10, Big 12, BIG EAST, Pac-12 and SEC (at time of game) since the start of the 1996-97 season. Those 25 wins have been by an average of 11.48 points, with 15 coming by double-digits, and just three decided by fewer than six points.

Keys To Victory...NormallyGreg McDermott noted after Saturday’s game at Georgetown that he would have expected a win if you had told him pregame that Creighton would win the rebound battle by nine (33-24), shoot 29 free throws (making 24), hold Preseason BIG EAST  Player  of  the  Year D’Vauntes Smith-Rivera to a season-low five points and have behemoth Georgetown center Joshua Smith limited to six points and no rebounds while picking up three fouls in 10 first half minutes. It was the first time that Creighton had lost a game with a +9 rebound differential since falling to Illinois State on Feb. 9, 2013. Creighton had not lost a game in which it made 24 or more free throws since Feb. 13, 2010, also to Illinois State. The Bluejays have won 22 straight games when making 25 or more free throws, dat-ing to a Jan. 20, 2007 loss to Southern Illinois.

The Need To FinishOne common theme in Creighton’s six losses this season has been an inability to close the first half and start the second half in strong fashion. Creighton is 6-0 when it outscores opponents in the last four minutes of the first half, 2-1 when scoring the same number of points, and 1-5 when getting outscored in the final four minutes of the first frame. In the nine wins, CU owns a 68-39 advantage, but the Jays have been outscored 55-27 in the last four minutes of the first half during its six losses. Creighton led Georgetown 29-24 before allow-ing a 15-2 run spanning halftime, while Providence turned a 24-22 deficit into a 40-28 lead thanks to an 18-4 run spanning the half.

Trey TroublesCreighton has uncharacteristically struggled from three-point range during its three-game losing streak, making 25.6, 23.8 and 20.0 percent from downtown in those games. It’s the first time that CU has shot worse than 26 percent from three-point range in three straight games since March 6-18, 2009. Both Creighton and its opponents have made exactly 20 three-pointers in the last three games, but CU has needed 31 more attempts (85 vs. 54) than its foes. For the season, Creighton is shooting 33.2 per-cent from three-point land, way down from last

year’s 41.4 percent marksmanship that led the nation. Seven of the eight Bluejays to make a three-pointer are shooting a higher percentage from deep at home, as compared to CU’s seven games away from home. In the last four years under Greg McDermott, Creighton is 36-22 (.621) when shooting 40.00 percent or worse from three-point range. While respectable, that pales in comparison to CU’s 57-6 (.905) mark the last four years when shooting better than 40.00 percent from downtown. Lower the standards to 30%, and it’s still impres-sive. Creighton is 82-12 in the past four years when shooting 30 percent or better from deep, compared to 11-16 when shooting 29.99 percent or less. Last season, Creighton led the nation with 41.4 percent shooting from deep, a figure that ranked ahead of 43 teams overall field goal percentage nationally.

Brooks On The BoardsThough he stands just 6-foot-2, Devin Brooks has led Creighton in rebounding each of the last five games. Brooks is CU’s first player to own sole posses-sion of the rebounding team lead since Doug McDermott had a streak of five straight from Dec.

17, 2013 to Jan. 4, 2014. McDermott is the last Bluejay to own the out-right rebound lead in six straight games, doing it from Jan. 12-26, 2011.

Bigger Was BetterCreighton shot 19-for-53 from the field in Wednesday’s game at Providence, with much of the production coming from its front-line players. CU’s four players that stand 6-foot-9 or big-ger combined to make 11-of-15 shots from the floor, including Geoffrey Groselle (6-for-9), Toby Hegner (2-for-2), Zach Hanson (2-for-3) and Will Artino (1-for-1). The trend continued against Georgetown, as the four aforementioned men were 7-for-13, with the rest of the team shooting 9-for-39.

10 Conference Wins x 18Last season’s Creighton team won 10 or more league games for a 18th consecutive season. On a national basis, the only other current school with at least 18 straight years of 10 or more league wins is Kansas (20). Each of the last 18 seasons has seen the team fin-ish fourth place or better in the league standings as well, though all but one of those took place in the Missouri Valley Conference.

Consistent ChallengersLast year’s Creighton team finished second in the BIG EAST, the 17th straight season the Bluejays have finished in the top four of the league stand-ings. Including last year, 12 of Creighton’s last 17 teams have finished either first or second the regular-season race of league play. Two of the five that didn’t won the MVC Tournament. The Bluejays won the MVC in 2000-01 and 2012-13, tied for the title in 2001-02 and 2008-09. CU was second in the MVC in 1997-98 and 2006-07 and sec-ond last year in the BIG EAST, tied for second in the MVC in 1998-99, 2003-04 and 2005-06, and finished tied for third in 2004-05. The 1999-00 club was fourth in the MVC, but won the MVC Tournament, while the 2010-11 club tied for fourth place.

Opening On The RoadCombine Wednesday’s game at Providence with last Saturday’s game at Georgetown, and this season marks the first time since 1994-95 that Creighton will start league play with two road games. Finally home for the first time since Dec. 19, Creighton has the luxury of hosting the league’s only 2-0 teams this week, DePaul and Seton Hall. When the schedule concludes in March, Creighton will end league play with consecutive home games for the first time since 1998-99.

Preseason BIG EAST PollCreighton was picked to finish ninth in its second season as BIG EAST Conference members accord-ing to a preseason poll of league coaches. Villanova was picked first with 81 points and nine first-place votes, while Georgetown (67, 1), St. John’s (65), Xavier (52) and Providence (49) round out the top half. The predicted lower half was Seton Hall (43), Butler (28), Marquette (28), Creighton (25) and DePaul (12). The ninth-place prognostication is the program’s lowest mark since being tabbed 10th of 11 Missouri Valley Conference teams in 1995-96. That team tied for fifth in The Valley. It also snaps a streak of 14 straight years being picked fourth or higher in its preseason league poll. Creighton did not have any honorees on the Preseason All-BIG EAST Teams, which was led by Preseason  Player  of  the  Year  D’Vauntes Smith-Rivera from Georgetown. This marks the first time since 2009-10 that Creighton has not had the Preseason Conference Player  of  the  Year.  It’s  also  just  the  sixth  time  in the last 20 years that Creighton did not have a first team all-conference honoree in the preseason.

Early Birds Get The WinWhen Creighton’s offense gets rolling under Greg McDermott, the results have been evident. Creighton has won 50 straight games under McDermott when scoring 40 or more points in the first half. CU has also won 68 straight home games when scoring 40 or more points in the first half dating to a Feb. 3, 2002 loss to Southern Illinois, including a perfect 60-0 mark at CenturyLink Center Omaha.

Groselle Makes The Leap To MBARedshirt junior center Geoffrey Groselle finished the requirements to earn his undergraduate degree in Financial Analysis in just 3.5 years on December 18th. One day later, he learned that he’d been accepted into Creighton’s MBA program, then came out that night and grabbed a career-best six rebounds in 11 first half minutes. Groselle continued his strong play on Dec. 21 at North Texas, scoring 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting. He led Creighton with 14 points on 6-of-9 shoot-ing in the league opener at Providence, playing a career-high 22 minutes. Groselle made his first career start in Saturday’s game at Georgetown. In the last four games, Groselle has averaged 7.3 points and 3.3 rebounds per game in just 66 total minutes, making 11-of-15 field goals (73.3 percent). Creighton has outscored Texas-Pan American, North Texas, Providence and Georgetown by a combined 30 points in 66 minutes with Groselle on the floor the last four games, but has been out-scored by 46 points in the 94 minutes without him.

3-Headed MonsterCreighton has used three men who alternate play-ing time at the “5” position for most of this season, Will Artino, Zach Hanson and Geoffrey Groselle. While none of them have stats that might jump off the page individually, as a collective group they’re tough to beat, combining for 16.1 points and 9.3 rebounds in 39.7 minutes per game, all while shooting 60.4 percent from the floor.Name MPG FG-FGA RPG PPGArtino 15.7 41-74 4.5 6.7Hanson 14.5 33-54 3.1 5.4Groselle 10.1 25-36 1.9 4.3Total 39.7 99-164 9.3 16.1

Five Year Plan A Rousing SuccessNot only is coach Greg McDermott in his fifth year at Creighton, but so are the two head coaches he’ll face this week: Oliver Purnell (DePaul) and Kevin Willard (Seton Hall). There were 54 Division I coaches that were hired prior to the 2010-11 season, and of that group, 37 remain at the helm of that same program. McDermott leads that group with 116 victories to easily lead that group. It’s eight more than the man he replaced at Creighton, current Oregon coach Dana Altman and 16 more than the coaches with the third-most wins, through games of Jan. 4.

Toughest Thing In SportsCreighton is 25-16 in true road games the last four years, and 41-22 when you also include neutral site games. Last year’s team was 7-4 in true road games and 4-4 at neutral sites. Each of Creighton’s last 11 NCAA Tournament qualifiers have had 10 or more road/neutral wins. Creighton is currently 1-4 in true road games this season, and 2-5 away from home when you factor in a pair of games in Niceville, Fla., during the Emerald Coast Classic.

Will The ThrillWill Artino leads Creighton in rebounds per 40 minutes (11.4 rpg.) and points per 40 minutes (17.1 ppg.) this season. Among players to play 100 or more minutes in any season during Greg McDermott’s tenure,

Artino has consistently put up big numbers. In those five seasons, a player has averaged at least 10.0 rebounds per 40 minutes nine times, with Artino accounting for four of those seasons.

Milliken ReinstatedAfter being suspended indefinitely on Dec. 16th for an undisclosed violation of teams rules, junior guard James Milliken was reinstated to the team on Dec. 26th. Milliken has played in 13 games as a reserve this season, averaging 5.7 points per outing. He had a season-high 23 points in Creighton’s double-overtime victory over South Dakota on Dec. 9th.

Moving On UpAustin Chatman has moved into sixth in Creighton history on the career assist chart, and now owns 440 in his career. Only seven previous men in school history have reached 400 career assists as a Bluejay. With three helpers at North Texas, Chatman passed Tyler McKinney (430) for sixth place. Chatman and McKinney are the only point guards in program history to go 4-0 against Nebraska in their career.

Higher and HigherAustin Chatman entered December with a career-high of 19 points, but in seven December contests he averaged 17.3 points, including five games of 19 or more. Chatman tied his career-high with 19 points in road games against both Tulsa and Nebraska, then upped the ante with 24 points in a Dec. 9 double-overtime win over South Dakota. All 24 of his points against the Coyotes came in the final 16 minutes of regulation and the overtime sessions. Of Creighton’s 26 points during the overtime, Chatman made or assisted all six field goals, and also drained five of the team’s 10 free throws. He followed that up with another 19 point effort against Saint Mary’s on Dec. 14, then threw in 20 more points vs. Texas-Pan American on Dec. 19.

Awesome AustinAustin Chatman had identical stat lines in two games to start the month of December. In road games at Tulsa and Nebraska, Chatman had exactly 19 points, seven rebounds and six assists in both games. Before Chatman, the last time a Creighton player had any game with at least 19/7/6 or more in each category was Ryan Sears at Southern Illinois on Jan. 8, 2000. Before Chatman, Creighton’s last player with two games of 19/7/6 in the same season was Rodney Buford, who did it in 1998-99. Chatman also became the first Creighton player to own at least a share of the team in lead in points/rebounds/assists in consecutive games since Kyle Korver on Dec. 7 & 14, 2002. Chatman was also stellar in the win over South Dakota on Dec. 9, finishing with 24 points and eight rebounds. In the process, he became the first Bluejay with 24 points and eight assists in the same game since Sears in the same Jan. 8, 2000 game listed above. Through games of January 4th, Chatman was one of seven players nationally, and one of two seniors (Utah’s Delon Wright) with at least 200 points, 60 rebounds and 68 or more assists.

Careful ChatmanAustin Chatman owns a 68/25 assist/turnover ratio (2.72) early this season, a figure that ranks third in the BIG EAST and 42nd nationally. Last season Chatman finished third in the BIG EAST with a 2.6 assist/turnover ratio, good for 29th nationally. For his career, Chatman owns 440 assists com-pared to 202 turnovers, good for a 2.18 ratio. The man considered by many to be Creighton’s best point guard in recent history, Ryan Sears, finished his career with a 2.26 assist/turnover ratio.

More Success At HomeCreighton has won 85 straight home games against teams that enter with a record of .500 or worse. The last team to upset the apple cart was Feb. 25, 2002, when Drake won at the Omaha Civic Auditorium.

Among The LeadersA look at where Creighton ranks among the nation-al leaders, through games of Jan. 4th:-Austin Chatman ranks 40th in total minutes played, 42nd in assist/turnover ratio and 51st in total assists.-Isaiah Zierden ranks 25th in three-pointers made and 55th in three-point percentage.-As a team, Creighton ranks 14th in three-pointers made, 12th in free-throw percentage and 26th in three-pointers per game.

Senior Trio Joins Elite GroupSeniors Will Artino, Austin Chatman and Avery Dingman joined some elite company with Creighton’s Dec. 7 win at Nebraska, as the trio became the rare Bluejay players to appear in four wins vs. Nebraska. Creighton’s only previous six men to play in

four career wins over the Cornhuskers were Kyle Korver, Joe Dabbert, Mike Grimes, Michael Lindeman, Tyler McKinney and Ethan Wragge. Of those six, only Korver and McKinney had never played in a loss against NU, something Dingman, Artino and Chatman can now claim.

Halftime Lead A KeyCreighton was 26-0 last year when leading at half-time, but just 1-8 when trailing at intermission. This year’s team is 6-1 when leading at half, 3-4 when trailing at halftime and 0-1 when tied at the break. Creighton has won all but one of its last 40 games played when leading at the half, falling only vs. Ole Miss on Nov. 28, 2014, and is 94-11 overall under Greg McDermott when up after 20 minutes.

CenturyLink Center Omaha SuccessCreighton has played 194 regular and postseason contests at CenturyLink Center Omaha all-time in the 12-year-old facility. The Bluejays own an 168-26 (.866) record all-time at the facility, and have never lost there on a Thursday (7-0) or Friday (10-0). Creighton has outscored its opponents 14,751-12,464 in games at CenturyLink Center Omaha, an average margin of 11.79 points per game. Creighton has led wire-to-wire 52 different times, including seven times last season and four times already this year. Creighton is also 25-15 all-time in the 40 games at CLCO in which it’s fallen behind by double-figures. Creighton is 71-8 (.899) at CenturyLink Center Omaha under Greg McDermott, including a 40-3 record vs. non-conference teams. Factor in a 17-0 home mark at the Omaha Civic Auditorium in 2002-03 and two wins at the Civic in the 2010 CIT, and the Bluejays are 187-26 (.878) at home since the start of the 2002-03 campaign. Creighton’s 24-game home win streak that was snapped by Saint Mary’s on Dec. 13th was also the longest in facility history by Creighton. The school-record for longest home win streak is 28, done from 1917-1920 and again from 2002-04. Below is a list of Creighton’s longest home win streaks in the 12-year history of CenturyLink Center Omaha.Streak Dates Snapped By24 Feb. 19, 2013 - Dec. 9, 2014 Saint Mary’s16 Feb. 9, 2005 - Jan. 31, 2006 Southern Illinois16 Jan. 19, 2010 - Dec. 22, 2011 Missouri State14 Feb. 2, 2008 - Dec. 28, 2008 Northern Iowa11 Nov. 22, 2003 - Feb. 4, 2004 Southern Illinois

Big Deficits, No Big DealCreighton owns 14 victories under Greg McDermott after trailing by double-figures at some point, including three games this year, and seven such comebacks away from home. On Nov. 19, Creighton trailed 42-24 to No. 18 Oklahoma with 18:30 to go before putting together a comeback for the ages. It was CU’s largest come-back victory under Greg McDermott (see chart below), the second-largest since 2000 (see chart below), and the second-biggest in the history of

CenturyLink Center Omaha (see chart, left column on page five). On the other hand, CU is 100-5 under McDermott when putting together double-digit leads, includ-ing wins 88 of the last 89 times.

Come One, Come AllCreighton has thrived when playing in front of large crowds of late. Creighton is 27-2 in its last 29 games played before 14,000 fans or more. Since the start of last season, Creighton has seen an average crowd of 14,623 in its 36 victories, and an average crowd of 8,938 in 14 losses.

Zierden Earns HonorSophomore guard Isaiah Zierden was named to the All-Tournament Team at the Emerald Coast Classic. He led the Bluejays in scoring during three of the four games in the event, including both contests in Florida.

7-Foot SurpriseRedshirt junior center Geoffrey Groselle had the best game of his Bluejay career on Nov. 25th, fin-ishing with 15 points on 7-of-8 shooting in just 12 minutes of playing time. His play earned him a pair of  standing ovations  from the more  than 17,400+ fans at CenturyLink Center Omaha. Groselle had owned just 44 career points in the first 36 games of his career before his outburst. Groselle has made 39-of-56 career field goal attempts, good for 69.6 percent.

Quick Starts Key To Playing in PostseasonCreighton has started off 3-0 (or better) in 14 of the previous 16 seasons, and has done so once again this winter. Each of Creighton’s last 15 3-0 starts have been culminated in a postseason tournament

appearance at the end of the year. Creighton also started 5-0 or better for the fourth straight year. The only previous time CU has started 5-0 in four straight years had come in a five-year stretch from 1916-17 to 1920-21.

Balanced OffenseCreighton owns seven players who are averag-ing 5.4 points per game or more this season. Ten players have scored 11 or more points in a game this year, and CU has seen eight different leading scorers. Creighton also has 10 different players with five or more rebounds in a game this year. The Bluejays have had a different player with 10 or more rebounds in four games this season after only having three players with double-figure rebound totals (McDermott, Gibbs, Artino) all last season. Three of those men (Chatman, Milliken, Brooks) are guards.

Poll PositionCreighton is one of 21 teams that have been ranked in the Top 25 in each of the last four seasons. That select group features Arizona, Baylor, Creighton, Duke, Florida, Gonzaga, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, Michigan, Michigan State, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Ohio State, San Diego State, Syracuse, UCLA, UConn, Wichita State and Wisconsin. Including this week’s poll result, Creighton has been ranked 40 times in 87 weeks of AP polls under Greg McDermott, and ranked between 26th-to-28th in nine other AP polls. The 40 weeks in the top-25 under McDermott is more than all other coaches in Bluejay history combined.

Most Weeks in AP Top 25 at CU, By CoachGreg McDermott, 2010-Pres. 40 (of 87)Dana Altman, 1994-2010 18Tom Apke, 1974-81 5Eddie Sutton, 1969-74 5 Give Me FiveA win over Eastern Illinois on Nov. 25 was Creighton’s fifth straight victory this season. The Bluejays have now had at least one five-game win streak in 17 of the last 18 seasons. Since 1988-89, the Bluejays have made the NCAA’s, NIT or CBI all 19 previous times they’ve had a five-game winning streak in a season, but missed the NCAA/NIT/CBI all seven times they haven’t. Including this year, Creighton has started 5-0 or better in 10 of the last 17 years, including four straight campaigns. The only previous time CU started 5-0 in four straight seasons came during a five-year stretch from 1916-17 to 1920-21.

Zierden Does It All From I to ZIsaiah Zierden scored in double-figures just three times in 28 games as a freshman, but he opened his sophomore season with four straight games (and 6-of-7) of 10 or more points. Creighton had just one player reach double-figures each of the first four games during the previous three seasons, Doug McDermott (2011-12 and 2013-14). McDermott would go on to earn First Team All-American accolades following each

campaign. Zierden is second on the Creighton team with 11.3 points per game and tops the BIG EAST with 2.67 three-pointers per contest.

Playing With The LeadCreighton has not trailed in four of its eight home games this season. In 194 games at CenturyLink Center Omaha all-time, Creighton has not trailed in 52 of those contests, a staggering 26.8 percent of the time, including seven wire-to-wire wins last season and four this year. During recently-ended Creighton’s 24-game home winning streak, Creighton led wire-to-wire in 11 of those wins, and trailed for just 103:04 of 970 minutes of action. Only Oklahoma and South Dakota even led the Bluejays in the second half during that streak.

We Shall OvercomeCreighton trailed by 11 points at halftime in its Nov. 19 comeback win over Oklahoma. It was the first time Creighton trailed at halftime at home since Feb. 2, 2013 against Bradley. The Jays trailed 30-27 at the break but would go on to win, 75-58. The 11 point halftime deficit was the largest in a home victory since trailing by 15 in the 2008 NIT against Rhode Island. Creighton improved to 7-3 all-time at CenturyLink Center Omaha in games in which it has TRAILED by 10 points or more at halftime.

Backcourt BoardersSenior guard Austin Chatman had a career-high 11 rebounds in that Nov. 19 win over Oklahoma, three more than his previous career-high of eight. Chatman became the first Bluejay player with a game of at least 17 points, 11 rebounds and six assists in the same game at CenturyLink Center Omaha.

Link NotesCreighton is 84-1 all-time at CenturyLink Center Omaha in games decided by 15 points or more. Creighton’s 71-67 overtime loss to Saint Mary’s on Dec. 13 dropped the Bluejays to 34-11 all-time at CenturyLink Center Omaha in games decided by five points or less. Creighton is also 14-2 in regular-season home games at CenturyLink Center Omaha decided by two points or less.

What A Difference A Year MakesThe star of Creighton’s team last year, Doug McDermott, scored 3,150 points as a Bluejay. The players on the 2014-15 Creighton team have scored a total of 2,867 career points in a Bluejay uniform entering Wednesday’s game. Last year McDermott averaged 14.0 points in the first half of games. This year, the team’s leading scorer (Austin Chatman) averages 13.3 points for an entire game.

Double-Double OpenerCreighton has won either a conference regular-season title or conference Tournament each of its last seven seasons it has had a player with a double-double in the opener (2012-13, 2001-02, 1999-00, 1998-99, 1990-91, 1989-90, 1988-89). Each of Creighton’s last two players to open the year with a double-double (Doug McDermott in 2012-13 and Kyle Korver in 2001-02) were named MVC Player of the Year and MVC Tournament MVP. Why does this matter? Because Will Artino had 14 points and 10 rebounds vs. Central Arkansas in this year’s opener. Artino, who played just 17 minutes vs. Central Arkansas, also became the only Bluejay in the last 25 years to have a double-double in 17 minutes or less.

Big Margin Leads To Big ThingsThis year’s Creighton team scored 104 points against Central Arkansas on Nov. 14, a good omen

for things to come. Nine of Creighton’s 19 all-time NCAA Tournament teams have scored 90 or more points in their season-opener. Here’s a look at Creighton’s last seven teams to score 90 or more in a season-opener.

Crowd ControlCreighton’s sellout crowd of 18,160 on Nov. 14 vs. Central Arkansas was its largest ever for a home-opener. It was also Creighton’s largest home crowd for any November game, and the 12th-largest home crowd in program history at the time. Creighton has sold out 14 of its last 19 regular-season home games.

Walk-On the Wild SideFor most programs, a walk-on might not see the court a whole lot. Creighton is not most programs. In the season-opening win over Central Arkansas, Rick Kreklow led the Bluejays with 18 points. Dating to last year, it marked the 17th straight game Creighton has been led in scoring by a walk-on. Kreklow spurned several scholarship offers (including Butler, Nebraska and Missouri) to walk-on at Creighton this year. Last year Doug McDermott led Creighton in scoring during the final 16 games. He, too, was a walk-on as a senior. The streak ended on Nov. 16 vs. Chicago State, but CU has still had a walk-on as a scoring leader for 17 of the past 31 games.

2014-15 Creighton’s Top Performances

Milliken Joins Quad SquadJames Milliken’s second career shot was a three-pointer from the corner in which he was also fouled. He would go on to successfully complete the rare four-point play. Isaiah Zierden became the second player this season to do it when he made a four-point play vs. Middle Tennessee on Nov. 29. In Greg McDermott’s five years at Creighton, the only six men to convert a four-point play have been Milliken, Zierden, Kaleb Korver, Ethan Wragge, Doug McDermott and Avery Dingman. Of that group, Zierden is the only one to do it twice.

Bluejay DebutsSenior transfer Rick Kreklow and redshirt freshman Toby Hegner both started on Nov. 14 in the sea-son-opener vs. Central Arkansas. The last player to start their first game at Creighton had been Grant Gibbs, who started the 2011-12 opener. Gibbs was on his fourth year of college at that point, after spending two years at Gonzaga and redshirting one season at Creighton. Hegner’s start was especially historic, as he became just the third freshman to start since 1992-93, joining Bluejay legends Doug McDermott (2010-11) and Ryan Sears (1997-98). Hegner became the first freshman in CU history to redshirt his first season, then start the season opener the following year, since freshmen became eligible until 1972-73. McDermott remains the last true freshman to start his first game.

McDermott Sweeps Player of the YearDoug McDermott swept all 14 National Player of  the  Year  awards  handed  out  by  the  media  in 2013-14. He was honored by the USBWA (Oscar Robertson Trophy), John R. Wooden Award, Naismith Trophy, Adolph F. Rupp Trophy, Associated Press, NABC, CollegeInsider.com Lute Olson Award, Sporting News, Basketball Times, NBCSports.com, CBSSports.com, BleacherReport.com, USA Today and Dick Vitale. In addition, he was also honored with the Senior CLASS Award that took into account his off-court contributions. It was McDermott’s second year with such lofty honor. As a sophomore, he was named CollegeInsider.com’s Lute Olson Player of the Year. McDermott finished his career last March rank-ing fifth in NCAA history with 3,150 career points.

NBA RepresentationThis year marks the first time since 1970 that

Creighton has three NBA players at the same time, as Kyle Korver (Atlanta Hawks), Anthony Tolliver (Detroit Pistons) and Doug McDermott (Chicago Bulls) are all in the league. Including 2014-15, Creighton has now had an NBA player in 31 of the last 32 years. Korver ranks 15th in NBA history with 1,604 three-pointers and is also eighth in league history with 42.93 percent marksmanship from three-point range (through Jan. 4). Last year he set an NBA record with 127 straight games with a three-point-er, and in 2009-10 he set a single-season NBA mark that still stands with his 53.6 percent shooting from three-point range. Tolliver ranked 15th in the NBA in three-point percentage with the Charlotte Bobcats (41.3 per-cent) last season. McDermott is a rookie who was the 11th pick in the 2014 NBA Draft by the Denver Nuggets, then traded an hour later to the Chicago Bulls.

Three-Mendous ShootingCreighton owned 356 three-pointers last season, most in school history. The 2012-13 club set the previous school standard with 307 in 36 games. Creighton’s 356 three-pointers ranked 11th-best in NCAA single-season history, and led the nation last year. In addition, Creighton’s 41.4 percent marksman-ship from three-point range ranked tied for third-best in school history. Last year’s Creighton team owned 173 three-pointers in BIG EAST play alone, breaking a confer-ence record (in league play) of 155 first set by the 2004-05 Notre Dame team.

Nation’s Best Offense?You  can make  a  case  that  Creighton  boasted  the nation’s best offensive production last year. Creighton finished the 2013-14 season leading the nation with 41.4 percent marksmanship from three-point range, a 1.80 assist/turnover ratio and 356 three-point field goals. The Bluejays were second in assists per game (17.5) and three-pointers per game (10.2), fourth in field goal percentage (.497) and total assists (614), 10th in fewest turnovers per game (9.8), 24th in both scoring average (78.7) and winning percent-age and 29th in free throw percentage.

Going For 20, AgainCreighton has won 20 or more games in 15 of the last 16 seasons, a feat that puts the Jays among an exclusive group, nationally. Just five schools nationally have had 20 or

more wins each of the last 16 years: Duke, Florida, Gonzaga, Kansas and Syracuse. Along with Kentucky, Creighton is one of two schools with 20 or more wins in exactly 15 of the past 16 years. That’s better than traditional powers Arizona, Connecticut and Memphis (14 each) and also ahead of Michigan State, Pittsburgh and Wisconsin (13 each).

Postseason x 17Creighton has made the postseason in 17 con-secutive seasons. The only eight schools to make the postseason in each of the last 17 years are Creighton, Duke, Florida, Gonzaga, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan State and Syracuse.

Postseason Win StreakThanks to an NCAA Tournament win over Louisiana last spring, the Creighton men’s basketball team has now won a postseason game in a school-record seven straight seasons. The previous mark was three in a row from 1962-64. The following four programs are the only ones that have won a postseason game in seven straight seasons, including 2013-14: Creighton, Kansas, North Carolina and Syracuse.

Eight Out Of 16 Tourney TitlesCreighton owns eight league tournament titles in the last 16 years. On a national basis, the only schools that can claim this are Gonzaga (12), Duke (10), Winthrop (9) and Creighton (8).

Full HouseLast year’s Creighton team averaged 17,896 in 16 home dates, good for fifth-nationally, and better than 16 NBA clubs. It’s the eighth straight season that CU has been among the nation’s top 25 in aver-age home attendance, and the third straight season in the top-six nationally in attendance, as well. This year’s team is sixth nationally in attendance, through games of Jan. 4.

Army of IowansEvery Creighton team since 1988-89 has had at least one Iowa native, and this season is no excep-tion. Creighton has one player from Iowa on this sea-

son’s team (Waukee native Will Artino), continuing a long trend of relying on some of the Hawkeye State’s top preps. Past notable Iowa preps include Doug McDermott (Ames), Grant Gibbs (Marion), Kyle Korver (Pella), Ryan Sears (Ankeny), Brody Deren (Harlan), Tyler McKinney (Urbandale) and Nate Funk (Sioux City). Creighton has played at least one Iowa prep in 671 straight games. That streak dates to a Feb. 5, 1994 win against Wichita State.

Long-Distance Streak AliveCreighton has made at least one three-pointer in 695 straight games since a 59-53 loss at Illinois State on Feb. 20, 1993. Creighton’s last win without making a three-point basket came on March 3, 1991 when the Jays went 0-for-2 from three-point range in a 71-66 win over Southern Illinois in the championship game of the MVC Tournament.

Streak WeekCreighton ranked fourth nationally in field goal percentage last season, making 49.7 percent of its shots from the floor. The Bluejays have won 61 straight games when shooting 50.0 percent or better from the field since a loss to Wichita State in 2011. All-time under Greg McDermott, Creighton is 59-1 when shooting 50.01 percent or better.

Special Senior ClassLast year’s senior class featured four men who have graduated and moved on to the professional level; Grant Gibbs, Jahenns Manigat, Doug McDermott and Ethan Wragge. During the previous four years, the Jays went 107-38 while appearing in the postseason every season, claiming the 2012-13 MVC regular-season title, as well as the 2012 and 2013 MVC Tournament titles. The 29 wins in 2011-12 tied a school-record, as are the 57 wins from 2011-13 for a two-year span, the 84 wins from 2011-14 the mark for a three-year span and 107 wins are the most-ever in a four-year span at Creighton. In those four years the team was 64-7 at home, including a 31-5 mark in league play at home, and that group was part of the first teams in school his-tory to win NCAA Tournament games in consecu-tive seasons. The quartet combined for 5,964 points, 2,250 rebounds and 1,062 assists while shooting a com-bined 872-2013 (43.3%) from three-point range at Creighton.

Closing StrongCreighton has won 44 of its last 46 games when leading with 5:00 to play. Overall under Greg McDermott, Creighton is 107-6 when leading with 5:00 left. The Bluejays are also 3-0 under McDermott when tied with 5:00 to play. CU is 6-38 under McDermott when trailing with 5:00 left, with the last such rally coming on Nov. 19, 2014 vs. No. 18 Oklahoma.

What A Start!Greg McDermott is 116-44 on the Creighton side-line in his fifth year at the helm. The 116 wins are easily the most in Creighton history in the first five seasons. How good are McDermott’s 116 wins in his fifth season? The only coach to start his Creighton career with more than 108 wins after SIX seasons was Tom Apke (109). Apke also owned the best mark after five seasons, going 93-43 to open his career on the Bluejay sideline.

Pizza Pie, Piled High = WinsThanks to a promotion with Omaha-based Godfather’s Pizza, Creighton season ticket-holders can get a free mini pizza any time the Jays score 75 points at home. History has proven that when the team earns the fans pizza, it often leads to a victory as well. The first three years of CenturyLink Center Omaha (2003-06), Creighton needed 70 points to earn its fans free pizza, and the Jays went 27-3 when reaching that threshold, closing out that run with 12 straight wins. Since upping the standard to 75 points prior to the 2006-07 campaign, Creighton is a perfect 84-0 when scoring 75 points or more at CenturyLink Center Omaha. In other words, Creighton is a perfect 96-0 in CenturyLink Center Omaha since Feb. 6, 2005 when scoring enough points to earn its fans some free pizza.

Home RunSince Greg McDermott took over five years ago, Creighton is averaging 78.41 points per home game (6,194 points in 79 home games). That’s a vital number since Creighton is 108-0 at home (79-0 at CenturyLink Center Omaha) when scoring 78 points or more and 90-0 at home (63-0 at CenturyLink Center Omaha) when scoring 80 points or more at home dating to a 92-83 loss to Southern Illinois on Feb. 19, 2000.

Last Season RecapCreighton went 27-8 and reached the third round of the NCAA Tournament last season. Creighton was ranked in the Associated Press top-25 in 11-of-20 weeks and finished 16th in the year-end poll. Doug McDermott swept all 14 National Player of the Year awards after leading the team with 26.7 points per game and 7.0 rebounds per contest. He was  also  named  BIG  EAST  Player  of  the  Year  and wrapped his career as the fifth-leading scorer in NCAA history with 3,150 points. Ethan Wragge (10.4 ppg.) was named Honorable-Mention All-BIG EAST after finishing in the top-10 in both three-pointers made and three-point percentage. The Bluejays led the nation in three-pointers made (356), three-point percentage (41.4) and assist/turnover ratio (1.80). After earning the program’s first at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament since 2001, Creighton topped Louisiana before falling to No. 24 Baylor in the third round.

Shuttle Service Provided AgainChief Bus will provide complimentary shuttle service from the Creighton University campus to CenturyLink Center Omaha for all men’s basketball home games this season. The service is available to all fans, not just Creighton students. The shuttle will start 75 minutes before tip-off and shuttles will continue to operate the route dur-ing the game. The three designated stops for pick-up around the CU campus are: 24th & California (nearside/southbound); 20th & Cass (nearside/east-bound) and at Billy Blues Alumni Grill (outside the Mike & Josie Harper Center in the turnaround which is on the east side of the building). The shuttle will then go eastbound on Capitol Avenue and then go north up 10th Street for drop-off at the CenturyLink Center Omaha convention center entrance. The route is designed for each shuttle driver to make a roundtrip every 15 min-utes. Following the game’s conclusion, the shuttle will start at the CenturyLink Center Omaha conven-tion center entrance on 10th Street and loop the original route with the first of three stops at 24th & California Streets.

Game-by-Game Plus/Minus ChartThe plus/minus figure is a comparison of the Bluejays’ points scored (plus) vs. their points allowed (minus) while a specific player is on the floor. For example, if Geoffrey Groselle enters the game in the first half with Creighton trailing by three and he departs two minutes later with the Jays ahead by four, he earns a +7 for that stint. These results are tabulated for every player at the conclusion of each game, and also expressed cumulatively. Underlined totals indicate that player led team that night.
