Page 2: 2016-17 Creighton Men’s Basketball€¦ · 16/02/2017  · Korver is the only man in NBA history to lead the league in three-point percentage three times, pacing the NBA in three-point

leads the Bluejays in scoring, and is averaging the most points by a Bluejay newcomer since Cyril Baptiste in 1969-70. He’s scored 12 points or more in all but two games so far, and has already been named Paradise Jam MVP and a two-time BIG EAST Player of the Week in this young season. Two Omaha products in the starting line-up are also doing big things. Vastly improved Khyri Thomas averages 12.1 points per game, and is sec-ond on the team in blocks, assists and rebounding, in addition to being a defensive stopper. Redshirt freshman big man Justin Patton averages 13.7 points and 6.3 rebounds per game. He’s shooting 70.0 percent from the field (third nationally) and has 59 dunks already.

Scouting GeorgetownGeorgetown is 14-12 this season, including a 5-8 BIG EAST mark. The Hoyas have wins away from home over Butler, Oregon and Syracuse. Robert Morris transfer Rodney Pryor averages 18.3 points per game, while L.J. Peak isn’t far behind with 16.6 points per contest. Jessie Govan (10.1 ppg., 5.0 rpg., 1.0 bpg.) leads the Hoyas in rebounding and blocked shots. The Hoyas average 75.7 points per game and shoot 46.5 percent from the field, 36.6 percent from three-point range and 73.6 percent at the line.

The CoachesGreg McDermott (Northern Iowa, 1988) is in his seventh season as head coach at Creighton. He is 162-77 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 442-272 in his 23rd season and is 311-208 in his 16th Division I campaign. McDermott is assisted by Darian DeVries, Steve Lutz and Preston Murphy. John Thompson III (Princeton, 1988) is 278-145 in his 13th season at Georgetown, moving his career mark to 346-187 in 17 seasons overall. He is the son of legendary Hoyas head coach John Thompson, and is assisted by Kevin Broadus, Anthony Solomon and Akbar Waheed.

The Series With GeorgetownCreighton is 3-6 all-time against Georgetown, including a 2-1 mark in Omaha. The series began in 1970 in West Palm Beach, Fla., before resuming in 2014 in BIG EAST play. The home team has won all three meetings since the start of last season. Greg McDermott is 2-7 all-time (2-6 at Creighton) against Georgetown and coach John Thompson III. Thompson is 6-2 against Creighton.

Big Day For OPSThree former Omaha Public Schools products will be on display on Sunday, as Creighton’s Khyri Thomas (Omaha Benson) and Justin Patton (Omaha North), as well as Georgetown’s Akoy Agau (Omaha Central) all figure to see double-figure minutes. Thomas was a First Team All-State pick by the Omaha World-Herald in 2014, when he was also captain of that team. Patton was a First Team All-State pick by the Omaha World-Herald in 2015. Agau was a three-time (2011, 2012, 2013) First Team All-State pick by the Omaha World-Herald, and captain of the 2013 team. The trio combined for 30 points and 20 rebounds the first time the teams met.

Sunday SuccessCreighton has won each of its last 28 home games played on a Sunday, a streak that is more than a dozen years old. Creighton’s last Sunday home loss was on January 9, 2005 to Southern Illinois. Creighton is 29-1 all-time at CenturyLink Center Omaha in games played on a Sunday, and has won 34 of its last 35 Sunday home games since Feb. 4, 2002.

Sellout Streak Will Reach EightSunday’s game vs. Georgetown is already sold out, the eighth straight home game that Creighton will play in front of a capacity crowd. The longest home sellout streak in program his-tory is 12, which stretched from Dec. 22, 2013 to Nov. 14, 2014.

Let It Fly!Among NBA players who have made 50 or more three-pointers this season, Georgetown product Otto Porter (.459) and Creighton alum Kyle Korver (.450) rank first and second in the entire league. Korver has been on a terror in the last eight games, averaging 15.4 points per game while shooting 30-for-47 (.638) from three-point range. Korver is the only man in NBA history to lead the league in three-point percentage three times, pacing the NBA in three-point shooting in 2009-10 (an NBA-record .536), 2013-14 (.472) and 2014-15 (.492). Korver became the seventh man in NBA his-tory to surpass 2,000 career three-pointers on Wednesday vs. Indiana. His 2,004 three-pointers (through Feb. 15) rank seventh in NBA history, trail-ing only Ray Allen (2,973), Reggie Miller (2,560), Jason Terry (2,211), Paul Pierce (2,138), Vince Carter (2,011) and Jamal Crawford (2,011).

3-Ball ReturnsCreighton was leading the nation in three-point percentage (45.3 percent) when it took the floor to open BIG EAST play vs. Seton Hall on December 28th. Creighton struggled in the first half of BIG EAST play, making just 54-of-180 (30.0 percent) of its attempts in the first nine league games. The Bluejays have regained their shooting stroke in the last four games, draining 50-of-97 three-point shots (51.5 percent). That stretch started not long after a dreadful 1-for-18 showing from long-range at Georgetown on January 25th. Creighton has made 13 or more trifectas seven times this winter, and 10 or more in 12 contests. Creighton is working on a streak of 10 or more three-pointers in each of its last four games, some-thing last done over a five-game stretch from March 1-14, 2014. Here’s a look at the three-point shooting statis-tics of the 10 Bluejays who have attempted a trey in CU’s last four games:Name 3FG-FGA 3FG%Justin Patton 1-1 1.000Martin Krampelj 1-1 1.000Davion Mintz 6-7 .857Khyri Thomas 9-15 .600Isaiah Zierden 6-11 .545Toby Hegner 7-13 .538Cole Huff 11-21 .524Tyler Clement 2-4 .500Marcus Foster 7-22 .318Jordan Scurry 0-1 .000Team Totals 50-97 .515

On Pace For History?Justin Patton has made 70.0 percent of his field goal attempts this season, good enough to lead the BIG EAST and rank third nationally in 2016-17. The best season-ending mark in NCAA history, with a minimum of 5 FG/game, is 74.6 percent in 1980-81 by Oregon State’s Steve Johnson, while the best mark by a freshman in NCAA history is currently 67.8 percent by Hampton’s Michael Freeman (162-239) in 2006-07. The top two field goal percentage marks in his-tory by a “major conference” freshman (ACC, BIG EAST, B1G, Big 12, Pac-12, SEC) are 66.5 percent by Arkansas’ Sidney Moncrief in 1975-76 and 66.4 percent by Duke’s Jahlil Okafor in 2014-15. That being said, Patton’s marksmanship this sea-son trails two other men (both sophomores) who

are also on pace to set the NCAA record for field goal percentage, as UNCW’s Devontae Cacok is at 78.8 percent and UCF’s Tacko Fall not far behind at 76.3 percent this season. The chart below lists the top-15 single-season marks for field goal percentage in NCAA history entering 2016-17:

High Scoring NewcomersSunday’s game against Georgetown features the two highest-scoring newcomers in the BIG EAST. Georgetown’s Rodney Pryor leads all BIG EAST newcomers with 18.3 points per game, with Marcus Foster a close second with 18.0 points per game. Foster’s 18.0 points per game are the most by a Bluejay newcomer since Cyril Baptiste averaged 18.9 points per game in 1969-70.

Foster Distributes, TooMarcus Foster had a season-high six assists in Wednesday’s game at Seton Hall. He has now dis-tributed 22 helpers in his last six games after dish-ing just 32 dimes in the first 20 games of the year. Foster also became the first Bluejay since 2000 to have at least 23 points, six rebounds and six assists in the same game. On that occasion, Ryan Sears had 25 points, eight rebounds and assists at Southern Illinois on January 8, 2000. The only other BIG EAST players with a game of at least 23 points, six rebounds and six assists this year have been Xavier’s Edmond Sumner and St. John’s Shamorie Ponds.

Foster Chases 500Marcus Foster has scored a team-high 468 points this season and is quickly approaching 500 points. Doug McDermott (581 as a freshman in 2010-11) and Paul Silas (551 in 1961-62 as a sophomore, back when freshmen were ineligible) are the only Creighton players to score 500 points or more in their first season on the court for Creighton.

Odds And EndsSome leftover notes from Wednesday’s game at Seton Hall...- Khadeen Carrington went 18-for-22 at the free-throw line on Wednesday. The 22 attempts are the most by an opposing individual against Creighton since at least 1980-81, and the 18 makes were the most by a CU foe since Evansville’s Shy Ely was 18-for-18 agianst CU on Feb. 13, 2008.- Khadeen Carrington’s 41 points were the most by a Bluejay opponent since Colt Ryan’s 43 for Evansville vs. Creighton on Feb. 21, 2012. He was just the second CU opponent to score 40 or more in a game since 1986, and the first CU foe to have a game of 30 or more points since Buddy Hield had 30 for Oklahoma on Dec. 19, 2015.- Seton Hall’s 39 free throw attempts were the most by a Creighton opponent since Massachusetts had 40 on Nov. 25, 2015. No previous Bluejay opponent had attempted more than 29 foul shots this season.- Before Wednesday, the last time a Creighton opponent shot 26+ free throw attempts more than the Bluejays was Dec. 12, 2009. On that day, George Mason went 31-for-44 at the line while Creighton was 10-for-18.

Double-Double FunJustin Patton had 11 points and a season-high 11 rebounds in last Saturday’s 93-58 win at DePaul, the third double-double of the season for the Omaha native. Patton is just the third Creighton freshman since 1988-89 to post a double-double, joining Ronnie Harrell Jr. (1 in 2015-16) and Doug McDermott (9 in 2010-11). Patton (1) and McDermott (5) are the only two freshmen in that time to have a double-double in a league game, as well.

Best 26 Game StartsNow in its 99th season of basketball, Creighton’s 21-5 record ranks among the top starts to a year in school history. In fact, this is just the ninth time that Creighton has been 21-5 or better after 26 games. Three of those 21-5 starts or better have been in the last six years under Greg McDermott. Creighton’s 1921-22 team started 21-5 and won its final two games to finish 23-5. Creighton’s 1961-62 team finished 21-5. Creighton’s 1963-64 team started 21-5, won its 27th game, and finished 22-7. Creighton’s 1973-74 outfit started 21-5, lost its 27th game, and finished 23-7. Creighton’s 1976-77 cagers started 21-5 before losing its final two games and finishing 21-7. Creighton’s 2002-03 club started 23-3 before finishing 29-5. That team won its 27th game to improve to 24-3. Creighton’s 2011-12 squad opened 21-5 before finishing 29-6. That team won its 27th game. Creighton’s 2013-14 group started 22-4 and fin-ished 27-8. That team won its 27th game. A win on Sunday would mark just the sixth time in program history that Creighton has won at least 22 of its first 27 games.

Going StreakingCreighton has two seniors working on some long individual streaks. Cole Huff has made at least one three-pointer in each of Creighton’s last 11 games, a streak that started Jan. 7 at Providence. He’s 21-for-44 (47.7 percent) from downtown during this stretch. Isaiah Zierden has made 15 straight free throws, a streak that started on Jan. 4 at St. John’s. For the season, Zierden is 23-of-25 (92 percent) from the charity stripe.

No Doubting This ThomasKhyri Thomas has been on quite a roll of late. In the last five games, the sophomore from Omaha has averaged 14.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, doing all that with a 22/7 assist/turnover ratio. Thomas had his skills on display in last Saturday’s win at DePaul, producing 12 points, seven assists and five rebounds. He also held DePaul’s top scorer,

Eli Cain, to five points on 2-of-9 shooting. For the season, Thomas leads Creighton in steals and is second on the team in rebounds, assists, and blocks.

Making The Extra PassCreighton has adjusted to life without the nation’s assist leader by spreading the ball around at an even higher clip. In Creighton’s first 19 games (with Maurice Watson Jr.), the Bluejays distributed 337 assists on 628 field goals, as 53.7 percent of its baskets were assisted. In the seven full games since then, Creighton owns 125 assists on 203 baskets, good for 61.6 percent. Creighton is a perfect 8-0 this season, and 15-1 in the past two seasons, in games when assisting on 61 percent of its made field goals.

Jays Ranked In 15th Straight PollThe Creighton men’s basketball team is ranked 20th in the country in this week’s Associated Press poll. That’s down from the No. 7 spot that was in the best in program history four weeks ago on Jan. 16th. Creighton has now been ranked in all 15 AP polls this year and been ranked 83 weeks in program history, with 55 of those under the direction of seventh-year head coach Greg McDermott. The Bluejays are one of three BIG EAST teams in the top-25, as Villanova ranks second, Butler is 24th. Creighton is ranked 22nd in this week’s USA Today Coaches Poll. On January 16th, the team was ranked seventh to mark the program’s best in that poll, as well. Below is a list of the best weekly rankings in the AP poll in program history:

20 Wins, AgainCreighton has won 20 or more games in 17 of the last 19 seasons (including 2016-17), a feat that puts

the Jays among an exclusive group, nationally. Just three schools nationally have had 20 or more wins each of the previous 18 years (entering 2016-17): Duke, Gonzaga and Kansas. Kentucky , Florida, Texas and Syracuse have each done it in 17 of the previous 18 seasons (entering 2016-17). Along with Arizona, Xavier and Connecticut, Creighton was one of four schools with 20 or more wins in exactly 16 of the previous 18 years (entering 2016-17). This is the 28th time in program history that Creighton has won 20 or more games in a season. The win also matched Creighton’s victory total (20) from all of last season in 35 games.

20 Wins Reached, AgainCreighton picked up its 20th win of the season on Tuesday, Jan. 31, with a victory at Butler. It’s the second time in program history that Creighton has reached the 20-win milestone before the end of January. The 2011-12 team that tied a school-record with 29 victories improved to 20-2 with a win on January 28, 2012.

Clement Honored By CoSIDACreighton men’s basketball guard Tyler Clement has been named to the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District 7 First Team. A junior from Shawnee, Kan., Clement owns a perfect 4.00 GPA in Creighton’s Heider College of Business as a Financial Analysis and Marketing major. Clement is Creighton’s first men’s basketball student-athlete to receive Academic All-District acclaim since Anthony Tolliver in 2006-07. Tolliver would go on to earn CoSIDA Academic All-America Second Team honors. Clement averages 1.8 points, 1.6 assists and 1.0 rebounds in 9.7 minutes per game. He’s seen a recent uptick in his playing time, averaging 2.8 points, 2.4 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 21.4 minutes in Creighton’s last four games. Clement is a three-time selection to the BIG EAST All-Academic Team and has also been named to the Creighton Dean’s List after all seven semesters that he’s been enrolled. Last season Clement was also named to the NABC Honors Court.

Talented ThomasBest Defensive Player? Most Improved? Most Underrated? There’s a lot of titles you could bestow on Khyri Thomas, who continues to fly under the radar as one of Creighton’s top players. The sophomore from Omaha leads the team in steals and is second on the squad in rebounding, assists and blocked shots. Thomas tied a career-high by sinking 4-of-5 three-point shots in Creighton’s Jan. 31 win at Butler. Creighton is 15-2 this year, and 24-7 in his career, when he drains a trifecta. Since arriving on campus, Thomas has made 41-of-88 (46.6 percent) three-pointers in Creighton wins compared to 13-of-46 (28.3 percent) marks-manship from deep in Bluejay losses.

Thomas has scored in double-figures in 9-of-13 BIG EAST games this winter after never doing that as a freshman. Thomas entered that Butler game 9-for-55 (16.4 percent) in his career against BIG EAST foes from three-point range, compared to 36-of-64 (56.3 per-cent) shooting from deep in games against all other clubs.

Road WarriorsCreighton is 10-2 away from home this winter (7-2 road, 3-0 neutral), outscoring foes by an average of 10.8 points per game. Creighton’s victims in that time include Washington State, North Carolina State, Ole Miss, Nebraska, Arizona State, St. John’s, Providence, No. 22 Xavier, No. 16 Butler and DePaul. Prior to a Jan. 25 loss at Georgetown, Creighton had last won its first eight games away from home in 1942-43. This year also marked the first time that Creighton has won its first five true road games since the 1942-43 club won its first eight. Each of Creighton’s last 11 NCAA Tournament teams have won 10 or more games away from home, and 10 of those teams had a winning record in true road contests. Creighton is shooting 45.0 percent from three-point range in road/neutral games this season while holding foes to 29.9 percent marksmanship from deep. In these games, Creighton’s senior class is shooting a combined 53.1 percent (69-130) from three-point territory in those games.

Foster A Naismith Trophy CandidateCreighton guard Marcus Foster is one of 30 play-ers in consideration for the 2017 Naismith Men’s College Player of the Year, the Atlanta Tipoff Club announced on Thursday. Foster ranks third in the BIG EAST in scoring at 18.0 points per game, which puts him on pace for the highest scoring average by a Bluejay newcomer since 1969-70. He’s been a two-time BIG EAST Player of the Week (Nov. 28, Dec. 26), and was also named MVP of the Paradise Jam in November. The Wichita Falls, Texas, native, has scored 12 points or more in 24-of-26 games to date, including a season-high 30 vs. Marquette on Jan. 21. Foster owns 468 points so far at Creighton after scoring 875 points in his first two years at Kansas State. Foster has started all 26 games this season for the No. 20 Bluejays, who are off to a 21-5 start. He is one of three BIG EAST players on the list, joining the Villanova duo of Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson. The 10 semifinalists will be announced March 1, 2017. Foster is looking to become Creighton’s second Naismith Men’s College Player of the Year winner in the last four years, as Doug McDermott hauled in the honor following the 2013-14 season.

More Patton, PleaseJustin Patton ranks third nationally with 70.0 per-cent shooting from the field this year. Incredibly, the freshman has shot better than 55 percent from the field in every game but one (Xavier) this season. Patton’s 25 games shooting 50.1 percent or bet-ter from the field leads the nation, two more than UNCW’s Devontae Cacock (23). Patton (26), USC Upstate’s Michael Buchanan (21) and UCLA’s T.J. Leaf (21) are the only men to exceed 50 percent from the field with at least four field goals made in more than 20 contests this sea-son.

Patton vs. Other Freshman YearsHow does Justin Patton’s freshman season com-pare to those of some other notable freshmen post players in recent seasons? Quite favorably, if you ask us, through 26 career games:

Patton On The Point TotalFreshman Justin Patton had a streak of 13 straight games in double-figures snapped by Xavier, when the center was held to a season-low seven points. Patton‘s streak of 13 straight double-figure games was the longest by any Bluejay since Doug McDermott closed his career in 2014 with 28 con-secutive games of 14 points or more. Patton’s double-figure scoring streak of 13 was the longest by any Creighton freshman since Rodney Buford’s stretch of 17 straight games from Jan. 3 - Feb. 21, 1996.

We’re Jamming!Justin Patton has 59 of CU’s 113 dunks this sea-son, with Marcus Foster (21), Khyri Thomas (16), Martin Krampelj (5), Ronnie Harrell Jr. (3), Toby Hegner (2), Zach Hanson (4), Cole Huff (1), Davion Mintz (1) and Kobe Paras (1) accounting for the others. Of Patton’s dunks, 28 have been on lobs. The 113 dunks are far more than any previous season under Greg McDermott, easily eclipsing the mark of 58 dunks in 35 games last year, and exceeding the 87 dunks in 68 games over the previ-ous two seasons combined. Here’s a look at the Creighton student-athletes with 20 or more dunks in a season, and 19 or more dunks in a career, under McDermott:

Point TakenThe absence of Maurice Watson Jr. has changed the rotation around a little bit, but Creighton still boasts an offense with multiple weapons. Including the Xavier game, when Watson went out in the 14th minute, Creighton has used three other men at point guard over the past seven games. Creighton is 4-4 in those contests. Here’s how those figures break down since Watson left the game for the final time.Player PTS REB AST TO MINMintz 50 12 18 14 119Zierden 47 10 8 5 167Clement 14 13 22 9 118

Secret WeaponTyler Clement had played a total of 12 minutes in Creighton’s first eight BIG EAST games, accumulat-ing no points, one rebound and one assist. His role has grown dramatically in the past five games. In that time, Clement has averaged 2.8 points, 2.4 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 21.4 minutes per game.

Over .500, AgainCreighton has been better than .500 at the midway point in league play in 20 of the last 21 seasons, including this year. Creighton has also gone 5-4 or better in the second half of league action in 18 of the last 20 seasons. Creighton has made the postseason each of the previous 18 times it’s been 5-4 or better at the mid-way point, and missed it the only time they weren’t in that span.

injured, Hanson maintained a strong leadership role on the team as he mentored freshmen centers Justin Patton and Martin Krampelj.

Home RunSince Greg McDermott took over in 2010, Creighton is averaging 79.44 points per home game (9,612 points in 121 home games). Since a 92-83 loss to Southern Illinois on Feb. 19, 2000, Creighton had been 127-0 at home (97-0 at CenturyLink Center Omaha) when scoring 78 points or more, and 107-0 at home (80-0 at CenturyLink Center Omaha) when scoring 80 points or more at home dating to that same setback, before a January 21st, 102-94 loss to Marquette. Creighton also lost on Feb. 4 vs. Xavier, 82-80.

BIG EAST > “Football 5” ???Creighton has knocked off teams from the Big Ten (Wisconsin and Nebraska), Pac-12 (Arizona State and Washington State), ACC (North Carolina State) and SEC (Ole Miss) this year, all by nine or more points. Those six non-conference wins over the “Football 5” leagues are the most of any other team in the nation. The BIG EAST owns 27 non-conference wins over “Football 5” leagues, second-most of any league in the nation. Both figures are through games of February 15.

Mintz Shows His StuffFreshman Davion Mintz showed what he was capable of on January 21 vs. Marquette in his first extensive playing time with the regular rotation. Mintz came off the bench and established or tied season-highs in virtually every category, includ-ing minutes (26), points (17), assists (8), rebounds (3), field goals (4), free throws (7) and blocks (1). Creighton outscored Marquette 69-63 with him on the floor. Mintz is one of seven BIG EAST players in the last seven years with a game of at least 17 points and eight assists against Marquette, joining star guards such as Ryan Arcidiacono, Bryce Cotton, Sterling Gibbs, Isaiah Whitehead, Trevon Bluiett and Maurice Watson Jr. Of that group, Mintz was the only one to do it in a reserve role. Among Creighton players, Mintz joins Austin Chatman (twice), Grant Gibbs (once), Maurice Watson Jr. (six times) and Antoine Young (once)

as the only players with a game of 17 points and eight assists in the seven-year era of Greg McDermott. No other Bluejay has had a game of 17 points and eight assists off the bench in the last 35 sea-sons (going back to 1981-82).

Standard FiveCreighton used the same starting line-up in each of its first 19 games before finally making a change on Jan. 21 (in game 20) when Isaiah Zierden replaced Maurice Watson Jr. in the first five. The starting five changed has again, as Davion Mintz has started for Isaiah Zierden the last five games. Last year Creighton used the same starting line-up in each of its first 18 games this season before finally making a change on Jan. 17 (in game 19) when Toby Hegner replaced Cole Huff. The Bluejays ended up using six different combinations a year ago. In 2014-15, Creighton used 10 different starting line-up combinations, its most in any season since using 11 pairings in 1994-95. Creighton used the same starting five combina-tion for every game in 2011-12, and then again in 2012-13.

Against The BIG EASTSince joining the BIG EAST in 2014, Creighton is unbeaten at home against St. John’s, the only team it can say that for. Georgetown remains the only place it hasn’t won a visiting game in BIG EAST play, while DePaul is the only school where Creighton has not lost a road game.Team CU Home Games CU Road GamesButler 3-1 2-2DePaul 3-1 4-0Georgetown 2-1 0-4Marquette 2-2 2-1Providence 1-2 1-3Seton Hall 2-2 2-2St. John’s 3-0 2-2Villanova 1-3 1-2Xavier 2-2 2-2Total 19-14 16-18

Watson Out With Torn ACLCreighton University senior guard Maurice Watson Jr. tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during Creighton’s 72-67 win at No. 22 Xavier on Jan. 16, head coach Greg McDermott con-firmed the following day. Watson was leading the nation with 162 overall assists and 8.5 assists per game at the time of his injury, also leads the nation’s active players with 801 career assists. He is ranked ninth in Creighton history with 391 assists. The Philadelphia, Pa., native spent the first two years of his college career at Boston University. Watson was a Preseason All-BIG EAST selection and was one of 25 men on the Wooden Award Midseason List, as well as one of 30 men up for the Senior CLASS Award. Sites such as CBSSports.com and NBCSports.com had him among their top-10 in the National Player of the Year standings. “We are sorry to learn of the severity of Maurice’s injury, but are thankful for his contributions since

joining the Bluejay program three years ago,” said McDermott. “Our team will regroup, and we have a lot of young men who are capable of stepping up to fill the void in Maurice’s absence. Maurice’s lead-ership role on our team will continue to be huge part of our success.” “I’m going to fight to get back,” said Watson. “And my teammates need to keep fighting through the year. The fact that these guys battled through yesterday’s game gives me confidence and security that they’ll be able to go on and do great things. I intend to finish my college career and have a great impact, even if it’s not on the court.” Watson underwent successful surgery on February 6 in his hometown of Philadelphia.

Paint It BlueCreighton’s offense is known for its proficiency from three-point range, but don’t overlook the work done inside the paint, as well. Creighton has outscored opponents 1,012-780 in the paint this year, the program’s best margin in that category since the school started tracking the stat in 2003-04. Only four opponents all year have outscored CU in the paint this season over the course of a game.

Quick Out Of The GatesCreighton continues to race to the lead in the opening minutes on a regular basis this season. In fact, Creighton owned a double-digit lead at some point in each of its first 19 games this year, and all but three games overall (Marquette; at Georgetown; at Seton Hall) this season. Below is a list of some of Creighton’s runs to start the game this season:Opponent Score Time Left in 1st HalfUMKC 15-2 14:25#9 Wisconsin 8-0 18:39Washington State 12-4 17:27Buffalo 15-6 13:18Akron 12-3 15:20Nebraska 14-2 15:17Longwood 11-2 16:42Oral Roberts 6-0 19:10#1 Villanova 19-9 14:30St. John’s 7-0 16:25Providence 10-0 16:31#12 Butler 19-9 12:12Truman State 17-3 13:56#22 Xavier 11-4 15:16DePaul 15-2 13:15

Follow The LeaderCreighton trailed for just 86:10 of a possible 733:05 minutes before Maurice Watson Jr. suffered his final knee injury (11.8 percent of the time). In the 306:55 of court time since then, the Bluejays have trailed for 109:31 (35.7 percent). The two Xavier games are the only contests this season in which Creighton has had a lead change in the final three minutes of any game. There was two such lead changes down the stretch in the first Xavier game in Cincinnati, and one more when the teams met again in Omaha three weeks later.

Watson Makes Cut On Wooden ListCreighton guard Maurice Watson Jr. was one of three BIG EAST players on the John R. Wooden

15 Treys & 50 Percent?Creighton shot made 44-of-81 three-point attempts in three games at the Paradise Jam, good for 54.3 percent, in its only three previous games outside Omaha. The Bluejays shot 15-of-28 (53.6%) against Washington State, 13-of-27 (48.1%) against North Carolina State and 16-of-26 (61.5%) in the title tilt vs. Ole Miss. In program history, Creighton owns 11 all-time games in which it has made 15 or more three-pointers and shot 50 percent or better, as seen below. Two of those were in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Award presented by Wendy’s Midseason Top 25, it was announced on January 11. Watson joins Villanova’s Josh Hart and Butler’s Kelan Martin. Chosen by a poll of national college basketball experts, the list comprises of 25 student-athletes who are front-runners for the sport’s most presti-gious honor, based on their performances during the first half of the 2016-17 season. The players on the list are considered strong candidates for the 2017 John R. Wooden Award presented by Wendy’s. The leading candidates will be further pared to 20 top players in early February. Fifteen top players who have proven to their uni-versities that they are also making progress toward graduation and maintaining at least a cumulative 2.0 GPA will be submitted to voters on the Final Ballot prior to the NCAA Tournament. Every year, players have made the Final Ballot that were not on the preseason or midseason lists. Voters are permitted to take into consideration the opening rounds of the NCAA Tournament when casting the ballot. The 10-man Wooden Award All-American Team will be announced the week of the “Elite Eight” round of the NCAA Tournament. Watson was the first CU player named to the Midseason Top 25 list for the Wooden Award since 2013-14, when Doug McDermott went on to win the award.

It’s Been 100 YearsJanuary 12th marked the 100th anniversary of the first recorded game in Creighton men’s basketball history, as Creighton topped Peru State 30-17 on January 12, 1917 in Omaha. Creighton went 17-3 in that first season despite never scoring more than 40 points in any game. Thomas E. Mills was the coach of that team. Omaha’s population in 1920 was 191,601, while Creighton has hosted 243,999 fans this season in 14 home games.

Watson’s DimesMaurice Watson Jr. owns 801 career assists to date, easily the most among the nation’s active players. Watson also leads the nation with 8.5 assists per game and was topping the country with 162 overall helpers at the time of his injury. Watson’s 162 assists this year were spread among nine different players, and led to 71 three-pointers, 46 lay-ups, 30 dunks and 15 other two-point jump shots. Including eight converted “and-1” free throw opportunities, Watson’s 162 assists led to 403 points, an average of 21.2 points per game that he appeared in.

Watson Moves Into Creighton’s Top 10Just 54 games into his Bluejay career, Maurice Watson Jr. ranks ninth on Creighton’s all-time assists chart with 391. No other player in the top-10 has appeared in fewer than 82 games. Watson’s 162 assists this season rank tied for ninth on Creighton’s all-time list.

Terrific StartJunior Marcus Foster’s 468 points so far are the most by any Bluejay newcomer through 26 games since at least 1979-80. No Bluejay newcomer has finished a season averaging more than Foster’s current mark of 18.0 points per game since Cyril Baptiste’s 18.9 points per game in 1969-70. For comparison, Doug McDermott had 370 points through 26 games and 385 points after the 27th career game of his freshman season. He would finish his career with 3,150 in 145 career games to rank fifth in NCAA history.Most Points, CU Newcomers First 26 Games Since 1995-96

Patton Wins Third Freshman of the Week HonorCreighton’s Justin Patton was named BIG EAST Freshman of the Week for the third time this season on January 9th. This week’s recognition comes after the 7-footer led Creighton to a 2-0 week on the road with team-high averages of 22.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game. The Omaha native made 20-of-27 shots from the field (74.1%), including his only three-point attempt, and also drained 4-of-7 free throw attempts (57.1%). Patton’s week started with a season-high 25 points to go with nine rebounds, a season-high four assists, a block and a steal in a road win at St. John’s. Patton sank 11-of-14 shot attempts, including five dunks, as Creighton never trailed. On Saturday at Providence, Patton delivered 20 points and six rebounds while matching his career-high with three blocked shots. Patton converted 9-of-13 shots from the floor, including three more dunks, and was 2-of-3 at the charity stripe.

Wire-To-Wire Road WinsCreighton never trailed in its Jan. 4th win at St. John’s, throwing a lob to Marcus Foster in the opening seconds en route to a 7-0 lead out of the gates of a 85-72 victory. The Bluejays also didn’t trail in its 78-64 win at Providence on Saturday, Jan. 7th. It was just the second and third times in Creighton’s 29 all-time BIG EAST road games that the Bluejays never trailed. The first time came on January 20, 2014, in a 96-68 win at No. 4 Villanova. In that contest, Creighton made a three-pointer on its first nine possessions and finished with a league-record 21 trifectas overall.

Three-Point OptionsToby Hegner’s fourth and final trey at Arizona State was the 100th trifecta of his career. He now owns 114, and is the fourth active Bluejay with 100 or more three-pointers, joining Marcus Foster (188, with 52 at CU), Isaiah Zierden (162) and Cole Huff (177, with 110 at CU). Zierden stands in 10th place in Creighton history with 162 career three-pointers. 3FG Name Years 371 Kyle Korver 1999-03 334 Ethan Wragge 2009-14 274 Doug McDermott 2010-14 245 Ryan Sears 1997-01 212 Rodney Buford 1995-99 206 Jahenns Manigat 2010-14 200 Nate Funk 2002-07 185 Matt Roggenburk 1986-90 177 Duan Cole 1987-92 162 Isaiah Zierden 2013-17 147 Booker Woodfox 2007-09

100!Creighton is 108-38 all-time when ranked in the Associated Press poll, picking up its 100th win as a top-25 team on Dec. 28th when it hosted and beat Seton Hall. That includes a 74-26 mark under Greg McDermott when ranked.

Defense Pitches A Late ShutoutCreighton’s offense gets all the attention, but the defense stepped up when it was needed most on Dec. 17 against Oral Roberts. Creighton found itself trailing 65-60 with 6:08 left after ORU’s Albert Owens banked in a three-pointer to stun the crowd. The Golden Eagles would go scoreless in their final 10 possessions the rest of the way. Creighton would steadily come back, getting two hoops from Justin Patton before a Marcus Foster drive with 3:21 to play gave CU a 66-65 lead. Neither team would score in the final 3:21 of the contest. That contest marked the first time since December 22, 2010, that Creighton held an oppo-nent scoreless over the final 6:08 of regulation. That came when CU held Samford scoreless in the final 6:48 of a 58-40 victory. Those are the only two contests in the 438 games since the start of 2004-05 campaign that the Bluejays have held an opponent scoreless in the final 6:08 of any game.

1,000 x 3Cole Huff became the third member of the cur-rent Creighton team to surpass 1,000 career points when he reached the mark at Nebraska on Dec. 7. Huff entered the game with 999 points (including 527) at Nevada, then added 13 points in the win on 4-of-5 shooting from long-range. Marcus Foster surpassed the 1,000 point mark during the Nov. 29 win over Buffalo. Foster owns 468 points this season, after scoring 875 points during his first two seasons at Kansas State. It took Foster 69 games total to reach the mark. Last year Maurice Watson Jr. surpassed 1,000 career points (including Boston), and now owns

1,537 career points. Creighton has never previously had three play-ers with 1,000 career points on the roster at the same time.

BIG EAST Playing BigThough the BIG EAST may not be considered of the traditional “Football 5” Conferences due to its lack of big time football, the performance of the league has been big time for a long time. The league has owned a top-five RPI in the NCAA RPI rankings in every season since 2000-01, as seen below:

Top 20 RPIAccording to WarrenNolan.com on Thursday morning, Creighton ranked No. 17 nationally in the RPI. Villanova was second, Xavier was 14th and Butler 13th, which has helped the BIG EAST to No. 3 in WarrenNolan.com’s conference RPI rankings. Creighton owns a 4-2 mark against top-25 RPI teams and a 6-3 record against top-50 RPI clubs this season.

15 Treys & 50 Percent?Creighton shot made 44-of-81 three-point attempts in three games at the Paradise Jam, good for 54.3 percent, in its only three previous games outside Omaha. The Bluejays shot 15-of-28 (53.6%) against Washington State, 13-of-27 (48.1%) against North Carolina State and 16-of-26 (61.5%) in the title tilt vs. Ole Miss. In program history, Creighton owns 11 all-time games in which it has made 15 or more three-pointers and shot 50 percent or better, as seen below. Two of those were in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

First Half BlitzCreighton led 62-25 at halftime on Dec. 9 vs. Longwood. The 62 points were a CenturyLink Center Omaha record for points in a half, and the most by the Bluejays in any half since scoring 63 in the second half of a 106-50 win over Texas-Arlington on Nov. 17, 2002. Creighton’s 55-point win was also its largest since that same 106-50 win over Texas-Arlington on Nov. 17, 2002. Creighton has won 58 straight games when scor-ing 44 or more in the first half.

Watson Still The Assists Per Game LeaderDespite the torn ACL he suffered on Jan. 16 at Xavier, Maurice Watson Jr. remains the nation’s active leader in assists with 801. At the time of his injury he was also fifth in steals (187), 11th in field goals made (590), 12th in assist/turnover ratio (2.12) and 31st in points scored (1,537). Below is a look at the national active leaders in assists, through Feb. 15.

Omaha’s TeamCreighton has started Omaha natives Justin Patton and Khyri Thomas in each of its games so far. It’s the first time Creighton has started two Omaha products in the same game since March 16, 2000 vs. Auburn, when Matt West (Omaha Westside) and Donnie Johnson (Omaha Central) earned a nod. Johnson, coincidentally, coached Thomas at Omaha Benson High School.

Preseason BIG EAST PollCreighton was picked to finish third in its fourth 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 Xavier and Creighton round out the top three. Seton Hall and Georgetown tied for fourth place, while Butler, Marquette, St. John’s, Providence and DePaul rounded out the bottom half. Creighton guard Maurice Watson Jr. was named Preseason All-BIG EAST First Team, while Marcus Foster was picked to be a Preseason All-BIG EAST Honorable-Mention choice.

NBA RepresentationThis year marks the third straight season that Creighton has three NBA players at the same time, as Kyle Korver (Cleveland Cavaliers), Anthony Tolliver (Sacramento Kings) and Doug McDermott (Chicago Bulls) are all in the league. Including 2016-17, Creighton has now had an NBA player in 33 of the last 34 years. Korver ranks seventh in NBA history with 2,004 three-pointers and is also eighth in league history

Page 12: 2016-17 Creighton Men’s Basketball€¦ · 16/02/2017  · Korver is the only man in NBA history to lead the league in three-point percentage three times, pacing the NBA in three-point

with 43.0 percent marksmanship from three-point range (through February 15). He set a single-season NBA mark that still stands with his 53.6 percent shooting from three-point range in 2009-10, and is the only player in league history to lead the NBA in three-point percentage three times. He’s currently averaging 10.1 points per game while making 45.0 percent of his three-point attempts this year. Tolliver is averaging 7.2 points and 3.8 rebounds per game this season for the Kings, his 11th NBA organization. McDermott is in his third season with the Chicago Bulls, where he’s averaging 10.1 points per game and shooting 44.9 percent from the field and 38.5 percent from three-point range for fellow Ames High alum Fred Hoiberg. Hoiberg, ironically, is the same man who replaced Greg McDermott as Iowa State’s head coach in 2010.

Full HouseCreighton is averaging 17,428 fans per home game this season, fourth-best nationally. That figure would rank 17th best in the NBA, ahead of 14 franchises. Last year was the 11th straight season that CU has been among the nation’s top 25 in average home attendance, and the fifth straight season in the top-10 nationally in attendance, as well.

Some Loyal FansCreighton has surpassed 200,000 home fans for the 12th straight season in 2016-17. The 302,887 home fans last season ranked as the most in school history. Creighton had never attracted more than 141,000 home fans in any season prior to the open-ing of CenturyLink Center Omaha, and now has done it in the last 14 seasons (including this year). Creighton has led its conference in home atten-dance every year since moving into CenturyLink Center Omaha, which is in its 14th season.

Release, Rotation, Splash, RepeatCreighton has made at least one three-pointer in 774 straight games since a 59-53 loss at Illinois State on Feb. 20, 1993. The streak is the nation’s 21st-longest active streak through games of February 15. 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. Below is a list of the nation’s longest active three-point streaks.

Making A JumpCreighton went from 14-19 in 2014-15 to 20-15 last season. In the last 50 seasons of Creighton bas-ketball, there has been only six seasons where the team has grown its win total by six or more victories from one year to the next, with two of those gains under the direction of Greg McDermott:

Eight Out Of 18 Tourney TitlesCreighton owns eight league tournament titles in the last 18 years. On a national basis, the only schools that can claim this are Gonzaga (14), Duke

(10), Winthrop (9), Creighton (8), Kansas (8) and Kentucky (8).

Top-20 CrowdsHere’s a look at Creighton’s top-20 home crowds all-time. The Villanova crowd of 18,831 Dec. 31 was third-most in school history. Rank Att.

Multiple ChoicesCreighton had four men average in double-figures in 2015-16, Maurice Watson Jr. (14.1), Cole Huff (11.3), Geoffrey Groselle (11.2) and Isaiah Zierden (10.2). Creighton had not previously had four men fin-ish the year scoring in double-figures since 1979-80, when Kevin McKenna, Jim Honz, George Morrow and Daryl Stovall did so. This year’s team also has four men scoring at a double-figure clip, with Huff not far behind at 9.2 ppg.

Très BienSince 2011-12, Creighton is 60-47 (.561) when shooting 40.00 percent or worse from three-point range. While respectable, that pales in comparison to CU’s 78-13 (.857) mark the last six years when shooting better than 40.00 percent from down-town. Lower the standards to 30%, and it’s still impres-sive. Creighton is 120-33 in the last six years when shooting 30 percent or better from deep, com-pared to 18-28 when shooting 29.99 percent or less.

Big Deficits, No Big DealCreighton owns 16 victories under Greg McDermott after trailing by double-figures at some point. Nine of those comebacks came away from home, including the win over Ole Miss in the Virgin Islands on Nov. 21st. On Nov. 19, 2014, 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 larg-est comeback victory under Greg McDermott (see chart below), and the second-biggest in the history of CenturyLink Center Omaha (see chart, left col-umn on page four). On the other hand, CU is 141-11 under

CenturyLink Center Omaha DramaticsProvidence’s Kris Dunn hit a game-winning shot as time expired to beat Creighton last Jan. 12th. It was the first game-winning shot with no time left to ever to beat Creighton at CenturyLink Center Omaha, exceeding the previous low with 1.9 sec-onds left by Butler’s Roosevelt Jones in 2014-15. Dunn’s shot was the first to beat Creighton (at any site) with no time left on the clock since Anthony James drained a game-winning three-pointer for Northern Iowa in a 65-62 win on Feb. 4, 2012 in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Creighton is 7-6 in games with a game-winning go-ahead score in the final 10 seconds in the 14-year old facility.

CenturyLink Center Omaha SuccessCreighton has played 236 regular and postseason contests at CenturyLink Center Omaha all-time in the 14-year-old facility. The Bluejays own a 195-41 (.826) record all-time at the facility, and have never lost there on a Thursday (7-0) or Friday (12-0). Creighton has outscored its opponents 18,106-15,271 in games at CenturyLink Center Omaha, an average margin of 12.01 points per game. Creighton has led wire-to-wire 65 different times, including 13 of its last 33 home games. Creighton is also 25-24 all-time in the 47 games at CLCO in which it’s fallen behind by double-figures at any point, 7-9 when down by 10+ points at halftime at The Link, and 31-22 when trailing at halftime at CenturyLink Center Omaha. Creighton is 98-22 (.817) at CenturyLink Center Omaha under Greg McDermott, including a 57-4 record vs. non-conference teams.

On Your Mark, Get Set, GoCreighton averaged 79.63 points per game in 2015-16, and is scoring 84.85 points per game in 2016-17. Greg McDermott is 44-2 as a Division I head coach when his teams score 90 or more points, including a 38-2 mark on the Creighton sideline. In fact, McDermott’s team scored 90 or more points 10 times (in 35 games) last season, com-pared to six total times in 280 games on the side-line in nine years at Northern Iowa and Iowa State. Creighton had won 75 straight games when scoring 90 or more points at all sites since a Jan. 11, 1988 loss to Southern Illinois, before a March 5, 2016 loss at Xavier by a 98-93 score. Creighton is 57-2 all-time when scoring 100 points or more, including 29 straight wins since a 1977 loss to North Texas.

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 106-3

when scoring 75 points or more at CenturyLink Center Omaha. In other words, Creighton is 118-3 in CenturyLink Center Omaha since Feb. 6, 2005 when scoring enough points to earn its fans some free pizza. A perfect streak of 101-0 was snapped on Dec. 2, 2015 when Arizona State scored three points in the final 15 seconds to sneak away with a 79-77 victory.

Last Season RecapCreighton went 20-15 last season and reached the quarterfinals of the National Invitation Tournament before being eliminated at BYU. Maurice Watson Jr. (14.1 ppg., 6.5 apg.) led the Bluejays in both scoring and assists, while senior Geoffrey Groselle (6.1 rpg.) led the team in rebounding and set a Creighton record by shooting 70.2 percent from the field. Creighton’s best victories last season included a 70-56 win over No. 5 Xavier, and a pair of wins to claim the title at the Men Who Speak Up Main Event in Las Vegas.

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/eastbound) and at Harper Dining Center (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 Ronnie Harrell Jr. 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.
