He is 1-1 in his career against SEC foes, hav-ing also beaten a Final Four-bound LSU team inthe 2005-06 season.

Anthony Grant has never faced Creighton asa head coach.

All About CreightonCreighton is a private university operated by theJesuits and located in Omaha, Neb. It wasfounded in 1878 at the bequest of MaryLucretia Creighton, the widow of telegraph pio-neer Edward Creighton, who included moneyin her will for the establishment of a school in herhusband's name.

Creighton has an enrollment of 7,730 stu-dents, with more than 3,000 of those in graduateschool in CU's renowned Schools of Medicine,Dentistry, Law and Pharmacy and other healthprofessions.

Of Creighton's 7,730 students in nine schoolsand colleges, 58 percent are female and 42 per-cent are male. Geographically, all 50 states and68 different countries are represented by thestudent body. Omaha has a population of373,000 and is annual home to the CollegeWorld Series, which will celebrate its 63rd con-secutive year in Omaha in June.

Creighton offers NCAA Division I athletics in14 varsity sports (six varsity sports for men:baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, soccerand tennis, eight varsity sports for women: bas-ketball, crew, cross country, golf, soccer, soft-ball, tennis and volleyball).

All men's and women's teams, except crew,compete in the 105-year-old Missouri ValleyConference, the oldest college conference westof the Mississippi River.

Famous AlumniAmong the Creighton's famous former student-athletes are Charlotte Hornets coach PaulSilas, St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Bob Gibsonand Chicago Bulls guard Kyle Korver.

The Bluejay Mascot“Billy Bluejay" is the official mascot of theCreighton University athletics department. TheBluejays were originally depicted by a "bird-watcher's bluejay," but that was changed in 1941when Joseph P. Murphy, a Creighton alumnus,designed the current version of Billy, one with amore human stance and expression.

Prior to 1924, Creighton teams were referredto as the "Hilltoppers," but that name lost favorbecause at least six other teams in the countryalso used the same nickname.

The Omaha Bee assisted the University'sAthletic Board and Alumni Association in findinga new nickname by asking readers to submitpossibilities.

After reviewing 200 entries, the Athletic Boarddecided upon "Bluejays" because of the school'scolors, blue and white. Today, Creightonremains the only NCAA Division I athletics pro-gram known officially as the Bluejays.

Please note that Creighton’s nickname(Bluejays) is one word, which is different thanthe Toronto baseball team that is two words(Blue Jays).

Postseason x 15Including this year, Creighton has made thepostseason in 15 consecutive seasons, extend-ing the longest streak of postseason bids inMVC history.

The only eight schools to make the postsea-son in each of the last 15 years are Creighton,Duke, Florida, Gonzaga, Kansas, Kentucky,Michigan State and Syracuse.

NCAA Tournament HistoryCreighton is making its 17th NCAA Tournamentappearance, and eighth in the last 14 years. TheBluejays are 9-17 all-time in NCAA action,including a 6-10 record in its first game.

This is the fifth time in MVC history that thesame school has won the men’s and women’stournament titles in the same season.Creighton, however, is the first program to do ittwice (UNI 2010, Creighton 2002 and 2012,Missouri State 1992, Illinois State 1983).

Tournament Titles HelpOnly five teams in the March 4 edition of theAssociated Press top-25 poll went on to win theirconference tournament title, an elite group thatincludes Missouri, Michigan State, Murray State,Florida State and Creighton.

Since 2004, six of the eight teams that won anational title, first won their league tournamenttitle. The only exceptions came in 2005 and2009, both years that North Carolina won thenational title.

One Shining MomentCurrently an assistant coach at Creighton,Steve Merfeld coached one of the biggestupsets in NCAA Tournament history when his15th-seeded Hampton team defeated second-seeded Iowa State, 58-57, in Boise, Idaho, in2001.

Merfeld’s team closed the game on a 14-2run, capped by a Tarvis Williams basket with6.9 seconds left. ISU All-American JamaalTinsley’s coast-to-coast lay-up attempt rolledout as time expired.

As the final horn sounded, Merfeld across thecourt from his bench area to the other side,where he was picked up by forward DavidJohnson in an enduring image as Merfeldkicked his feet in jubilation.

Friday marks the 11-year anniversary of thatgame.

Former Creighton softball student-athlete andassistant coach Kate Petullo is now the directorof softball operations for the nationally-rankedAlabama softball program.

The first of Creighton’s school-record 10 roadwins this year took place in Alabama, when theJays defeated UAB, 70-60 on Nov. 16th. Thatwas just the second game Creighton had everplayed in the Yellowhammer state (both wins).

Creighton is 5-1 all-time against teams fromAlabama. CU is 1-0 against Alabama State,UAB, Samford and South Alabama, and 1-1 ver-sus Auburn.

Since 1970, Creighton has had just two play-ers from the state of Alabama. Brandon Sims(Birmingham) played for CU in 2002-03, whileMarcus Lockett (Tuscaloosa) played at CUfrom 1994-96.

Carolina ConnectionCharlotte Bobcats head coach Paul Silas is aCreighton graduate. Silas, who was inductedinto the MVC Hall of Fame on March 2nd, is oneof five men in NCAA history to average at least20 points (20.5) and 20 rebounds (21.6) in acareer (joining Bill Russell, Julius Erving,Kermit Washington and Artis Gilmore).

In 2005, Creighton was sent to Cleveland forthe NCAA Tournament. Silas, then the Cavaliershead coach, was fired four days after Creightonwas eliminated by West Virginia. He’s certainlyhoping for better results this time around,despite running a Bobcats team that is currently5-34.

Sweet Valley SuccessSince 1994, the MVC is 21-34 in the NCAATournament with eight Sweet 16 trips to its cred-it. The last Valley team to reach the secondweekend was UNI in 2010, which came thanksto a stunning win over top-seeded Kansas.

Postseason VictorsCreighton has won eight postseason gamessince 2008, including two in the NIT (2008 and2009), two in the 2010 CIT and four in the 2011CBI. On a national basis, Creighton’s eight post-season wins since 2008 rank tied for 10thnationally.

More Postseason NuggetsCreighton’s postseason success in recent yearshas spawned these nuggets:- Creighton is one of 10 schools with a postsea-son win each of the last four years. That list con-sists of Creighton, Duke, Kansas, Kansas State,North Carolina, Pittsburgh, Purdue, Syracuse,Virginia Tech and Wisconsin.- Creighton is one of seven schools with multiplepostseason wins each of the last two years. Thatlist consists of Butler, Creighton, Duke,Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio State and VCU.

Postseason Features Last-Second EndingsNine of Creighton’s previous 10 postseasonruns have included a game that was decided inthe final seconds.

In fact, Creighton’s postseason openers in thepast 10 years have had three games decided byone point (including a double-OT finish), two bytwo points, two by six points (including an OTfinish) and three games by 11 points.

Last year Creighton’s season ended in heart-breaking fashion in the CBI title game atOregon. Creighton had the ball in a tie gamewith the shot clock off, but committed a back-court violation on Oregon’s unique floor. TheDucks’ E.J. Singler then banked in a game-win-ning shot with 2.0 seconds left. A desperationthree-pointer by Creighton was off the mark.

In 2009, Creighton rallied from a 14-pointdeficit and would hang on to beat BowlingGreen, 73-71 in the first round of the NIT. TheJays needed a last-second defensive stand, asBGSU’s Darryl Clements’ game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer was off the mark.

The following game, Creighton led Kentuckyby one with 36 seconds left, only to miss twofree throws and see UK All-American JodieMeeks convert a three-point play. CU’s BookerWoodfox, the nation’s No. 2 three-point shooter,missed an open trey as time expired, andCreighton lost 65-63.

In 2008, Creighton rallied from a 12-point

Only one foe (Dayton) has shot better than 49percent versus the Crimson Tide this year.

Creighton ranks third nationally in three-pointpercentage (.425), while Alabama is sixth nation-ally in three-point percentage defense (.280).

MVC Tournament RecapCreighton won its record 11th MVC Tournamenttitle with victories over Drake, Evansville andIllinois State on March 2-4 in St. Louis. DougMcDermott was named Most OutstandingPlayer after scoring 73 points in the three wins,including 33 in the final. Antoine Young andGregory Echenique also earned all-Tourneyaccolades.

Father/Son DuosAccording to the websiteCollegeHoopedia.com, Doug McDermott isjust the sixth man in NCAA history to be namedconference player of the year while playing forhis father.

Joining them on that elite list are Dick/MarkAcres (Oral Roberts), Dick/Tony Bennett (UWGreen Bay), Homer/Bryce Drew (Valparaiso),Press/Pete Maravich (LSU) and Clifford/C.J.Reed (Bethune-Cookman).

Nothing Neutral About ItCreighton is a perfect 4-0 on neutral floors thisseason, picking up wins in St. Louis over Drake,Evansville and Illinois State to go with a victoryin Des Moines vs. Iowa.

In those four games, Creighton is averaging83.0 points per game, outscoring foes by 15.5per contest and outrebounding teams by 13.0boards per game.

Creighton shoots 52.4 percent on neutralcourts, including 41.3 percent from downtown.

Non-Conference SuccessCreighton is 14-1 this year in 15 games outsideof league play, including a 7-1 record away fromhome.

The Bluejays have outscored opponents byan average of 15.2 points per game and outre-bounded foes by 7.1 boards per contest.

Individually, Doug McDermott has averaged25.9 points and 8.5 rebounds per game, making64.1 percent from the field and 56.9 percent ofhis three-point attempts.

Working OvertimeCreighton’s 83-79 win over Illinois State onMarch 5th improved Creighton’s all-time recordin single-overtime games to 40-38, andimproved the Bluejays to 53-44 all-time in over-time contests of any length.

Creighton has now won each of its last fourovertime games, and Greg McDermott is 3-0 inOT on the Bluejay sideline.

Creighton has played back-to-back overtimegames just four times in program history, and notsince Feb. 9 & 12, 1994.

Last 30/30 Man?If Doug McDermott can notch 30 or more pointson Friday vs. Alabama, he’d join some rare com-pany. No Bluejay has had back-to-back gamesof 30 or more points since Bob Harstad on Feb.10 & 12, 1990.

Did The CBI Help?Has playing in the 2011 College BasketballInvitational served as a springboard forCreighton?

Last year Creighton reached the champi-onship series of the CBI, gaining 17 extra prac-tices and six extra games to extend their seasonuntil April 1st.

In 2010, VCU won the CBI and would benefitfrom that experience with an unlikely run to theFinal Four of the NCAA Tournament.

McDermott In The PostseasonCreighton coach Greg McDermott is making hissecond postseason appearance at Creighton,and fourth overall as a Division I head coach ifyou include his time at Northern Iowa.

McDermott’s Division I teams own a 4-5record in four previous postseason appear-ances, including a 4-2 mark at Creighton.McDermott’s Division I Postseason Appearances

Everybody’s All-AmericanDoug McDermott continues to haul in All-America honors on a regular basis.

On Monday, he was named first-team All-American by the United States BasketballWriters Association. Prior to McDermott, the onlyother player honored by the USBWA with All-America status had been second-team selectionKyle Korver in 2003.

McDermott was also named a first-team All-American by ESPN.com’s Jason King, and asecond-team All-American by Sporting News.

More Than The RestDoug McDermott enters the NCAA Tournamentwith 765 points and 23.2 points per game, morethan any other player in the “Big Dance”.

Second on that list of NCAA Tourney playersis Lehigh’s CJ McCollum, who scored 722points and 21.9 points per game.

Jays Remain In AP & Coaches PollsAfter a two-week absence, Creighton returned toboth top-25 polls on February 27th. The Jays arecurrently 19th in the Associated Press poll and20th in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches poll.

Tournament Selection Sunday as ranked teams.That year, Southern Illinois (No. 14 writers, No.15 coaches) and Creighton (NR, No. 24 coach-es) both earned spots in the NCAA Tournamentfield as ranked teams. SIU reached the Sweet16.

The last time two MVC teams were ranked inthe Associated Press Top-25 on SelectionSunday was in 1972, when No. 4 Louisville andNo. 11 Memphis State were both ranked in theAP. Louisville played in the NCAA Tournamentand reached the Final Four; Memphis State par-ticipated in the NIT.

Offense Wins Championships?Creighton once again ignored the saying that“Defense wins championships” this season. TheBluejays lead the MVC in scoring offense thisseason, averaging 80.0 points per game, andwon the MVC Tournament.

Since 1997-98, seven of the 15 teams to leadthe league in scoring offense went on to win theMVC Tournament (Drake in 2008, ILS in 1998,CU in 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2011).

By comparison, only two teams that led theleague in scoring defense won the MVCTournament (SIU in 2006, UNI in 2010).

Going On The OffensiveSpeaking of offense, Creighton leads the nationin field goal percentage at 50.9 percent.

Since 2005-06 there have been seven teamsthat finished a year shooting 50.8 percent or bet-ter from the field. Six of those seven teams

made the NCAA’s, going 17-4 in the “BigDance”, and two (Kansas in 2008 and Florida in2007) won the national title.

By comparison, nine teams held foes to 56.0points per game or less in the same six-yearspan. Those teams combined for just four NCAAbids and went a combined 5-4 in the Big Dance.

McDermott Named MVC Player of the YearDoug McDermott is the first sophomore inleague history to be named Larry Bird MVCPlayer of the Year.

McDermott leads The Valley and ranks thirdnationally with 23.2 points per game and is alsoranked second in the conference in bothrebounding (8.2 rpg.) and three-point percent-age (.495).

McDermott’s five MVC Player of the Weekaccolades were the most by any individual in aseason in 25 years (since National Player of theYear Hersey Hawkins in 1988), and the onlysophomores in league history with more pointsin a season are Oscar Robertson and LarryBird.

McDermott is the first Creighton player namedMVC Player of the Year since Booker Woodfoxin 2009, and fifth different Bluejay overall, agroup that also includes Bob Harstad (1989),Chad Gallagher (1991), Kyle Korver (2002and 2003), and Woodfox (2009).

McDermott’s honor gives Creighton six MVCPlayer of the Year awards, tying Bradley andSouthern Illinois for most all-time.

He is the first player to be named MVC Player

of the Year from a non-championship team sinceKyle Korver in 2002-03.

He is just the second player in MVC history tobe named both MVC Freshman of the Year(2011) and MVC Player of the Year (2012), join-ing Southern Illinois’ great Ashraf Amaya (1990FOY and 1992 POY).

Echenique Named MVC’s Top DefenderJunior center Gregory Echenique is the firstplayer in Creighton history to be named MVCDefensive Player of the Year.

Echenique leads the MVC with 54 blockedshots this season and is second with 1.6 blocksper game. He’s also fifth in the MVC with 7.4rebounds per contest, and second with 61.4 per-cent shooting from the field.

In league play, Echenique led the MVC with1.7 blocks per game and 2.8 offensive reboundsper game, while also ranking second inrebounds per game (8.2) and field goal percent-age (.630), fifth in defensive rebounds per con-test (5.3) and 10th in free throw percentage(.811).

Oscar, Bird, DougLast year Doug McDermott set a Creighton(and MVC) record for points by a freshman with581. This season, McDermott has 765 points,the most single-season points in school historyby any player.

McDermott’s 1,346 points to date are most inschool history by a player in their first two sea-sons, passing Bob Portman (1,195).

He's also just the third sophomore in MVChistory to reach 700 points in a season, andtrails only Oscar Robertson and Larry Bird onthat list.

Sneaking Up On Two MilestonesBecause he’s split his college career betweenRutgers and Creighton, you might not realize therather impressive college stats being generatedby Gregory Echenique.

Just a junior, Echenique owns 997 points, 740rebounds and 203 blocked shots in his first 102games as a collegian.

Had all those stats been generated atCreighton, Echenique would rank 37th in careerpoints, seventh in career rebounds and secondin career blocked shots at CU.

Here’s To HistoryWith last week’s MVC Tournament title,Creighton head coach Greg McDermottbecame the first head coach in league history towin a Valley Tournament title at more than oneschool.

McDermott previously won a title in 2004 atNorthern Iowa. The 1990 Northern Iowa gradMcDermott also holds the honor of being the firstcoach in league history to win an MVCTournament title at his alma mater.

Seven Out Of 14 Tourney TitlesCreighton owns seven league tournament titlesin the last 14 years. On a national basis, the only

schools that can claim this are Duke (10),Gonzaga (10), Winthrop (9) and Creighton (7).

Creighton’s 11 Valley Tournament titles aremore than twice as many as the next closestschool, Southern Illinois (5).

Won By OneCreighton won its Feb. 21 game vs. Evansvilleby a single point, 93-92, then topped IndianaState 61-60 on Feb. 25th. The Bluejays are now3-0 in one-point games this winter after going 0-1 a year ago.

Creighton had not played two straight gamesdecided by one point since the 2003 MVCTournament, when it beat Indiana State andWichita State by one point each before throttlingSouthern Illinois, 80-56, in the championshipgame.

Finishing StrongCreighton has trailed with three minutes left infour of its last six games, only to rally and wineach time.

In those four wins (Long Beach State,Evansville, Indiana State and Illinois State),Creighton outscored foes 33-16 in the final threeminutes of regulation (51-30 if you include theEvansville & Illinois State overtimes).

Creighton shot 11-of-18 from the field in thelast three minutes of regulation in those games,while also holding foes to 5-of-13 shooting fromthe floor. Creighton has also outrebounded foes13-4 in the last three minutes of regulation inthose contests, and had just two turnovers while

forcing four.After going 1-6 in games decided by three

points or less this year, the Bluejays are 6-1 ingames decided by three points or less this year.

Good To The Last ShotCreighton took the lead on its final shot of thegame to win back-to-back contests vs. bothLong Beach State (Feb. 18) and Evansville(Feb. 21). Incredibly, Creighton won both timesdespite leading for a combined 0.3 seconds inthe second half of those games.

The last time Creighton had won consecutivegames on its final shot came on Nov. 24 and 30of 2004, when Tyler McKinney hit game-win-ners to beat Ohio State and Xavier.

Records Fall in St. LouisCreighton set numerous records in St. Louisduring the MVC Tournament. DougMcDermott’s 33 points in the final tied the mostin CU history in the event, and were also themost of any player in a title game since it movedto St. Louis.

McDermott’s 73 points in the event were aschool-record, and his 24 field goals madematched a program record as well.

McDermott also set Creighton’s career-markfor three-point accuracy at the event (min. 4att.). He’s 9-for-16 in his career from downtownin St. Louis, good for 56.3 percent.

In addition, Josh Jones shot 4-of-5 from thefield vs. Evansville from three-point range,matching a single-game record.

Doubling UpCreighton’s Doug McDermott joined some elitecompany at the 2012 MVC Tournament aftertaking home Most Outstanding Player honors.

He is just the fifth player in league history tobe named MVC Player of the Year and MOP ofthe league tournament, joining Drake’s AdamEmmenecker (2008), Creighton’s Kyle Korver(2002 and 2003), Southern Illinois’ Chris Carr(1995) and Bradley’s Hersey Hawkins (1988).

Running Down A RecordCreighton has scored 2,641 points this season,third-most in program history. Creighton’s 2002-03 team scored 2,688 points in 34 games, whilelast season’s squad needed 39 games to score2,684 points.

Road TrippersCreighton has 10 road wins and four victories ona neutral site this year.

Including this season, each of Creighton's lastnine NCAA Tournament teams have won 10 ormore games away from home.

Creighton and Murray State are the onlyschool in the country with three top-50 wins aswell as 10 true road wins.

Creighton’s 10 true road wins are a school-record, breaking the mark of nine originally set in1999-91.

Rare BirdDoug McDermott’s averages of 23.2 points and8.2 rebounds per game, combined with hisshooting percentages of 61.0 percent overall,49.5 percent from three-point range and 79.9percent from the line are something you usuallyonly see in a video game.

McDermott is the nation’s only player averag-ing better than 19 points per game who shootsbetter than 53 percent from the field.

Since 2008-09, no player nationally has aver-aged more than 20 points per game while shoot-ing 48.0 percent from three-point range, regard-less of the number of attempts.

Also, since 2004-05 McDermott is one of twosophomores nationally to average 22.0 pointsand 8.0 rebounds per game or more. The otherplayer to do that came in 2008-09 and was for-mer Oklahoma and current Los AngelesClippers standout Blake Griffin. Griffin had 90dunks in his sophomore season, whileMcDermott owns one dunk this year (atBradley).

Upping The AntoineSenior point guard Antoine Young continues toascend up a few Creighton charts. He is the onlyBluejay in history with at least 1,325 points and425 career assists.

He’s up to 17th on Creighton’s all-time scoringchart, and his 496 assists rank third-most inBluejay annals.

Celsius or Fahrenheit ?Sophomore Jahenns Manigat led in the MVC inleague play with his 49.2 percent marksmanshipfrom three-point range. When it came to CU’snine MVC road games, he was the barometer.

In Creighton’s seven Valley road wins,Manigat shot a robust 19-of-27 (70.4 percent)from downtown. In CU’s two Valley road losses,Manigat was 2-of-9 (22.2 percent) from deep.

Wish GrantedGrant Gibbs poured in a career-high 20 pointsin Creighton’s MVC Tournament finals victoryvs. Illinois State. Though he had scored in dou-ble-figures on nine previous occasions, he hadnever scored more than 12 points before March4th.

Gibbs finished the title game with 20 points,seven rebounds, five assists and no turnovers.He is Creighton’s only player in the past 25years with at least 20-7-5 and no turnovers in agame.

Down The Stretch StarSenior Antoine Young is playing inspired bas-ketball, as if he doesn’t want his career to end.In the last 10 games, Young has averaged 15.9points and 4.4 assists per game.

Young is shooting 51.0 percent from the floorand 75.0 percent from the line in those games.

Seven of the 10 games were decided by eightpoints or less.

McDermott Claims Fifth MVC HonorDoug McDermott won his fifth MVC Player ofthe Week award on Feb. 20th after he averaged27.0 points and 7.5 rebounds in wins overSouthern Illinois and Long Beach State.

His five awards are the second-most in MVChistory for a single-season, trailing only the sixwon by Bradley’s Hersey Hawkins in 1987-88when Hawkins went on to earn National Playerof the Year acclaim.

McDermott was also named Dick Vitale’sNational Player of the Week on Feb. 20th, the

second time this season he’s been honored byVitale.

Speaking Of HonorsDoug McDermott is also a finalist for the LouHenson National Player of the Year, an awardthat collegeinsider.com hands out to the nation’stop mid-major player.

Senior GroupCreighton honored four men who suited up intheir final home game on Feb. 21st; AntoineYoung, Matthew Dorwart, Derek Sebastianand Ross Ferrarini, as part of Senior Night fes-tivities.

During the past four years, the Jays havegone 96-45 while appearing in the postseasonevery season and claiming a share of the 2008-09 MVC regular-season title.

Of the quartet, Young owns the most accom-plishments on court. The Bellevue, Neb., nativeis the only player in school history with 1,325points and 450 assists. He led the MVC inassist/turnover ratio as both a sophomore andjunior, and last season also paced The Valley inassists per game en route to earning second-team all-MVC honors.

A native of Sidney, Neb., Dorwart is finishingup his fourth year with the program. He’s playedin 27 games as a Bluejay, amassing 11 points,eight rebounds and three blocked shots. Off thecourt he was part of a film crew that producedthe award winning documentary “Mato Oput”,which focused on the civil war in Uganda duringthe past 20 years.

Sebastian hails from Loveland, Colo., andplays on the wing. He’s played in 25 games dur-ing his four years in the program, producing 12points, seven rebounds and four assists. Whenhe’s not on the court, Sebastian has spent thissemester student-teaching at Omaha NorthHigh School.

Ferrarini is a guard from Omaha in his thirdyear in the program after transferring in fromNebraska in 2009. One of the team’s top threatsfrom long-range, Ferrarini owns 17 points andsix rebounds in 44 career minutes played overthe course of 23 games. Nicknamed “TheGodfather”, he’s twice had the hoop that gavethe Jays 75 points and earned the home crowdfree Godfather’s Pizza.

Losses Can Teach Lessons TooThough Creighton was upset in its Feb. 7 gameat Evansville, it doesn’t necessarily mean horri-ble things are ahead. Including this year, six ofthe last seven seasons that Evansville has beat-en Creighton, the Jays have recovered to wineither the MVC Tournament or regular-seasontitle, as seen below:Date UE Score MVC Title?02/07/12 L 57-65 Tournament02/13/08 L 56-60 --12/22/04 L 61-63 Tournament01/22/03 L 66-74 Tournament01/24/01 L 52-61 Reg.-Season01/23/00 L 83-88 Tournament01/04/99 L 79-84 Tournament

Heading Towards The Top 10The MVC hasn’t had a player rank in the top-10nationally in scoring since Illinois State’s TariseBryson finished fourth in 2000-01 at 22.8 pointsper contest.

The MVC hasn’t had two players finish in thetop-10 in scoring since Bradley’s HerseyHawkins and Southern Illinois’s SteveMiddleton in 1987-88.

Currently, Creighton’s Doug McDermott(23.2) is third and Evansville’s Colt Ryan (20.2)is 13th.

Ryan’s head coach, Marty Simmons, rankedsixth nationally by averaging 25.9 points pergame as a senior at Evansville in 1987-88. ThePurple Aces were not part of the MVC at thattime.

Little Mac AttackDoug McDermott scored 36 points on 14-of-20shooting in a Feb. 18th win over Long BeachState. His 36 points were the most inCenturyLink Center Omaha history for anygame that didn’t reach overtime.

The two highest-scoring games in Creightonhistory in the building came when Cavel Witterscored 42 points in a double-OT win overBradley on March 1, 2008, while Nate Funk had38 points in a Nov. 26, 2005 double-OT triumphover Dayton.

In a Feb. 21 overtime game vs. Evansville,Purple Aces guard Colt Ryan had a buildingrecord 43 points. The previous high by a Bluejayopponent had been 34, done twice previously(Dayton’s Brian Roberts & Northwestern’sDrew Crawford).

Home Sweet HomeCreighton 65-16 all-time in MVC games atCenturyLink Center Omaha, including a 9-0mark vs. Evansville.

An overtime win on Feb. 21st vs. Evansvilleguaranteed the fifth straight season Creightonhas finished exactly 7-2 in league play at home,and eighth time in those nine years it’s been 7-2or better in Valley play at home.

Lights Out ShootingIn its Feb. 14 road game in Carbondale,Creighton missed its first shot and its last shot,but just seven others in between to set an MVCrecord by making 77.5 percent from the field(31-40).

The mark easily eclipsed the previous school-record of 70.4 percent (Nov. 25, 2011 vs.Campbell) and also outdid the previous MVCrecord of 74.5 percent by Bradley vs. WestTexas State (Jan. 28, 1984).

Creighton’s marksmanship was the best byany college team since 2005, and tied for the20th-best mark in NCAA history for one game.

Lights Out Shooting, Part IICreighton shot a season-best 75 percent (15-20) in the first half on Feb. 14th at SouthernIllinois, its best half since shooting 18-of-23 inthe second half at Drake on Jan. 9, 2007.

The stellar performance lasted about an hourbefore CU made 16-of-20 shots in the secondhalf (80 percent).

The 80 percent effort in the second half is tiedfor the eighth-best figure in MVC history for onehalf.

The Valentine’s Day win marked the first timein program history that Creighton shot 70 per-cent or better in both halves of the same game.

Lights Out Shooting Part IIICreighton owns two of the top-three single-game shooting marks nationally in 2011-12.

In addition to its 77.5 percent shooting onFeb. 14th, third on that list is Creighton’s 70.4percent accuracy vs. Campbell on Nov. 25th,which is just behind the 71.4 percent shot byMiddle Tennessee in its win at UCLA on Nov.15th.

In the last 15 years (since 1997-98), the onlythree teams to shoot 70 percent or better twicein the same season have been Creighton (2011-12), Rice (2006-07) and Utah State (2004-05).

Lights Out Shooting, Part IVOne reason Creighton shot at a record rate onFeb. 14th was its proficiency from three-pointrange.

Creighton’s 12-of-14 shooting (85.7 percent)from three-point range was a school record andranks tied for ninth-best in NCAA history for ateam with at least 10 makes from deep.

Creighton is also the only team nationally inthe last 15 years to make 10 or more three-pointers in a game in which it shot 76 percent orbetter from the floor as a team.

Full HouseLast year Creighton averaged 13,507 fans perhome game, which ranked 22nd nationally. Theprogram ranked 14th at the end of the regular-season with an average of 15,026 before fourCBI home games brought down the average.

Creighton surpassed 200,000 home fans in aseason for the sixth time. No other school in thehistory of the MVC has ever done so even once.

Creighton has finished in the top-25 of thenational attendance leaders in each of the previ-ous five seasons, and averaged 16,664 fans athome so far this season, good for seventh place,and a MVC single-season record.

King of EfficiencyOne of the most incredible things about DougMcDermott’s lofty 23.2 points per game scoringaverage is how little he actually handles the ball.

Creighton video coordinator NathanWieseler broke down three different games thisseason where some of college basketball’s topplayers each took 14 shots.

When McDermott faced Drake on Jan. 25, hemade 10-of-14 field goals and finished with 30points, nine rebounds and one assist. He han-dled the ball for a total of 1:23 of actual gametime.

When Kansas standout forward ThomasRobinson played North Dakota on Dec. 31st,he had 30 points, 21 rebounds and four assists.Robinson had the ball in his hand for a total of2:50.

When Weber State point guard and nationalscoring leader Damian Lillard faced NorthernArizona on Jan. 10th, Lillard had 18 points, sixrebounds and six assists. He had the ball in hishand for a whopping 7:13 of game time.

Sports Illustrated Profiles McDermottKelli Anderson of Sports Illustrated spent fourdays with the Bluejays in late January/earlyFebruary for a feature on Bluejay sophomoreDoug McDermott.

Her four-page article, which includes fourphotos, can be found on pages 54-57 of the Feb.13, 2012 edition that features Eli Manning onthe cover.

It’s Up, And It’s GoodDoug McDermott leads the nation with 293 fieldgoals made this season. That ranks second-most in a season in Bluejay history, trailing onlyBob Portman’s 303 buckets in 1967-68.

By comparison, no other player in the MVChas more than 188 buckets (Colt Ryan), andnext closest nationally was West Virginia’sKevin Jones with 255.

This Is, 20/20Greg McDermott is the only coach in Creightonhistory to post 20 or more wins in each of his firsttwo seasons. McDermott, who won 23 gameslast season, claimed his 20th win on Jan. 28 vs.Bradley.

If you include his last three years at UNI(2003-06), he’s won 20 or more games each ofhis last five years in the MVC.

The only other coaches to win 20 or moregames in five straight seasons while in the MVCwas Creighton’s Dana Altman (11 from 1998-99to 2008-09), Bradley’s Chuck Orsborn (6 from1956-57 to 1961-62) and Oklahoma State’sHenry Iba (6 from 1943-44 to 1948-49).

McDermott is one of three active MVC coach-es to start his Valley career with two straight 20-win seasons, and first since Illinois State’s TimJankovich did it his first three years (2007-10).

Southern Illinois’ Chris Lowery also began

Field DayCreighton leads the nation in field goal percent-age, and has had a better shooting percentagein all 28 of its wins this year. The four times theopposition has had a better field goal percent-age, the Jays lost.

Overall, the team with a better field goal per-centage has won 38 of CU’s last 39 games.

The only MVC team in history to lead the

Page 17: mvc.orgmvc.org/mbb/notes/cu.pdfDarian DeVries Assistant Coach Steve Lutz Assistant Coach Steve Merfeld Assistant Coach Jeff Vanderloo Dir. of Basketball Ops. Brian Kooienga Graduate

nation in field goal percentage was Bradley in1967-68 (.524), and the only MVC team in histo-ry to lead the nation in three-point percentagewas Illinois State in 2002-03 (.440).

Creighton is 18-0 this season when shooting50 percent or better from the floor.McDermott Scored 44Sophomore Doug McDermott scored a career-best 44 points in Creighton’s win at Bradley onJan. 7th. It was nine more than his previousbest, and included 31 points after halftime.

McDermott made his first 10 shots after half-time and was 18-of-23 for the game to tie therecord for field goals made by a Bradley oppo-nent. His 18 field goals are one shy of theCreighton record for field goals in a game, andthe most by a Bluejay since Benoit Benjamin in1985.

McDermott’s 44 points were the most nation-ally by any sophomore since Akron’s DerrickTarver had 44 points vs. Wright State on Dec.30, 2003.

Only four sophomores in MVC history haveever scored more points in a league contestthan McDermott’s 44 points. Oscar Robertson(Cincinnati) had two 50-point games, while otherplayers to do it once each were Indiana State’sJohn S. Williams (47), Wichita State’s DaveStallworth (46) and Indiana State’s Larry Bird(45).

Rebounding RulerDoug McDermott enters the NCAA Tournamentranked second in the MVC with 8.2 reboundsper game, just 1.4 behind Illinois State’s JackieCarmichael. The only Creighton player to everlead the MVC in rebounds per game was BobHarstad (9.4) in 1988-89.

No Bluejay has averaged more than 7.4rebounds per game since 1993-94, when NateKing averaged 9.0 rebounds per game. Thisyear, both McDermott and Gregory Echenique(7.4) are within reach of that mark.

This year’s Creighton team is outreboundingfoes by 6.1 caroms per contest, the first timesince 1998-99 (+5.8) it’s had a rebound marginof better than 4.0 per game.

The AvengersTwelve different programs combined to handCreighton its 16 losses last season. While theJays are not scheduled to face Iowa State, BYU,Oregon or Akron this year, they’ve done ratherwell against the other eight teams to beat thema year ago.

Against those eight teams (Northwestern,Nebraska, Missouri State, Wichita State, IndianaState, Northern Iowa, Bradley, Drake),Creighton is 13-2 so far this season after goinga combined 5-11 last year vs. those same foes.

After Another RecordLast year Doug McDermott set an MVC fresh-man record with 581 points, and this seasonhe’s got 765.

McDermott is just the third player in MVC his-tory with 500 or more points as both a freshmanand sophomore, joining Mitchell Anderson(Bradley) and John S. Williams (Indiana State).McDermott is the first player in Valley historywith 550 points or more as both as freshmanand sophomore.

In Creighton history, the only other playerswith multiple seasons of 500 or more points arePaul Silas (3), Bob Harstad (3), RodneyBuford (3), Rick Apke (2), Bob Portman (2),Chad Gallagher (2) and Nate Funk (2).

Winning The Close OnesCreighton’s 66-65 win on Jan. 18th helps showthe difference between this year’s team and lastyear’s squad.

Last year in Springfield, Creighton led nearlythe entire game before giving up a lay-up in thefinal 15 seconds to lose, 67-66.

This year in Springfield, Creighton got a pairof defensive stops in the final 10 seconds toearn a 66-65 victory.

This year’s club is 6-1 in games decided bythree points or less, while last year’s team wasjust 1-6 in such situations.

Really Dynamic DuoIt’s hard to fathom, but two of the best sopho-mores nationally were high school teammates atAmes (Iowa) High School two years ago.

Creighton’s Doug McDermott and NorthCarolina phenom Harrison Barnes won a pairof state titles for a Ames High School team thatposted undefeated campaigns in both 2008-09(26-0) and 2009-10 (27-0) to become Iowa’s first4A team to repeat as undefeated state champs.

Both McDermott and Barnes are expected toreceive consideration for first-team All-Americastatus from the Associated Press. In the historyof the AP All-America teams (which began in1947-48), the only high school teammates to benamed first-team All-America in the same sea-son are former Columbus (Ohio) East HighSchool products Dwight “Bo” Lamar(Louisiana-Lafayette) and Ed Ratleff (LongBeach State) in 1971-72.

Here’s a look at the two sophomores and how

Chasing HistoryDoug McDermott leads the MVC in scoring(23.2 ppg.), is second in three-point percentage(.495) and rebounding (8.2 rpg.) and third in fieldgoal percentage (.610).

The last player to lead the MVC in scoringand rebounding in the same season is SouthernIllinois legend Ashraf Amaya in 1991-92.

No player has ever led the MVC in field goalpercentage and three-point percentage in thesame season.

Milestone Game Went WellThe Feb. 1 win vs. Illinois State was Creighton’s150th game at CenturyLink Center Omaha. TheJays are now 130-23 at the nine-year old facili-ty, which includes a 65-16 mark in MVC gamesand a 30-9 record in games decided by fivepoints or less.

Creighton has averaged 14,453 fans in the153 games, including 18 crowds of 17,000 ormore.

Taking Advantage of CharityGregory Echenique began the season 7-of-25at the free-throw line, a dreadful 36 percent.Since then, however, he’s 72-for-92 from theline, good for 78.3 percent. In league play, heshot 60-for-74, 81.1 percent.

Since December 1st, Echenique is 32-of-37on the road from the charity stripe, 86.5 percent.

What’s Your Twenty?Creighton has been .500 or better after 20games in each of the last 17 seasons, includingthis season.

Even more impressive, Creighton has won 13of its first 20 games in 14 of the last 15 seasons.

Over .500, AgainCreighton has been better than .500 in either thefirst or second-half of the league season in 33straight trips through the league, including bothhalves this year.

Creighton’s 32 consecutive halves above.500 in league play is easily the Valley’s longestactive streak, with Wichita State next closest ateight.

Here’s how Creighton’s teams have fared inthe various halves of the MVC season since1995-96. Notably, Creighton was 8-1 at the mid-way mark for the first time since 2002-03.Year 1st Half 2nd Half2011-12 8-1 6-32010-11 5-4 5-42009-10 5-4 5-42008-09 5-4 9-02007-08 5-4 5-42006-07 6-3 7-22005-06 7-2 5-42004-05 5-4 6-32003-04 7-2 5-42002-03 8-1 7-22001-02 8-1 6-32000-01 5-4 9-01999-00 5-4 6-31998-99 6-3 5-41997-98 5-4 7-21996-97 5-4 5-41995-96 4-5 5-4Total 99-54 (.647) 103-49 (.678)

Jays Win 10 Home Games, AgainWith a Jan. 21 win vs. Indiana State, Creightonhas now won 10 or more home games in 16straight seasons.

The current streak extends a school-record,four more than the previous standard of 12straight seasons from the 1969-70 season to the1980-81 campaign with 10 or more home wins.

Historically After 12 MVC GamesCreighton was 11-1 in the MVC after the 12thgame of the league slate.

This is the 17th straight season thatCreighton has had a league record of .500 orbetter after 12 games, and each of those cam-paigns the Jays would also go .500 or better inits final six contests as well.Year W-L After 12 W-L Final 62011-12 11-1 3-32010-11 6-6 4-22009-10 7-5 3-32008-09 8-4 6-02007-08 7-5 3-32006-07 9-3 4-22005-06 9-3 3-32004-05 6-6 5-12003-04 9-3 3-32002-03 11-1 4-22001-02 10-2 4-22000-01 8-4 6-01999-00 7-5 4-21998-99 7-5 4-21997-98 8-4 4-21996-97 7-5 3-31995-96 6-6 3-3Total 136-68 (.667) 66-36 (.647)

Shooting StarsCreighton continues to lead the country in fieldgoal percentage, making an incredible 50.9 per-cent from the field.

The Bluejays have shot 55 percent or better13 times overall this season.

In Creighton’s last 39 games dating to latelast season, it has shot 40 percent or better in allbut two games.

Creighton, which is also third in the country inthree-point percentage, is seeking to joinNorthern Arizona (in 1998-99) as the only teamsin NCAA history to lead the nation in three-pointpercentage and field goal percentage in thesame season.

A Sprint to 1,000 PointsDoug McDermott needed just 57 career gamesto surpass 1,000 career points, doing so in aJan. 15th win vs. Southern Illinois. He’s the sec-ond Creighton player this season to surpass themilestone, as Antoine Young reached that featon Dec. 10 at Saint Joseph’s.

Young & McDermott are the first Bluejayteammates to go over 1,000 in the same seasonsince Ryan Sears & Ben Walker in the Jays’2000-01 campaign.

While it’s unknown how many games it’staken every player in school history to get to1,000 points, it is known that Paul Silas needed47 games to reach 1,000.

Before McDermott, the only previous playersin Creighton history to score 1,000 points ormore in their first two seasons were BobPortman (1,195), Paul Silas (1,124), Rod

For the game, Creighton shot 61.1 percent, itsbest mark on the road since shooting 61.9 per-cent at Wichita State on Feb. 16, 2005.

Earlier this season Creighton made its first 13field goal attempts of the game in a win vs.Campbell.

Another Arena Record FallsOn Dec. 19, Doug McDermott’s 35 points atTulsa tied a Reynolds Center record for anopponent at the 13-year old facility. On Jan. 7thMcDermott claimed another house record, ashis 44 points were a Carver Arena mark for anopponent in the 30-year old building.

In fact only two players have ever scoredmore against Bradley than McDermott’s44…Detroit’s Archie Tullos (49) in 1988 andCincinnati’s Oscar Robertson (46) in 1960.McDermott’s 44 points were the most in Peoriaby a Bradley opponent since The Big O, and themost ever in a win over Bradley.

Speaking of arena records, Creighton’s 28assists (on 33 baskets) were the most by aBradley opponent at Carver Arena. An incredi-ble 17 of McDermott’s 18 field goals were assist-ed, as four different players (Grant Gibbs,Jahenns Manigat, Antoine Young, JoshJones) had three or more assists to McDermottalone.

Of McDermott’s 18 baskets, he used thebackboard in 11 of them and used his left handfor five hoops.

Pick Your PoisonCreighton is third in the nation from beyond thearc, hitting 42.5 percent of its shots from three-point range.

The Bluejays have been remarkably consis-tent, making 40 percent or better from three-point range in 23-of-33 games to date. By com-parison, CU made 40 percent or better fromdeep in just 15-of-39 contests a year ago.

Not Half BadCreighton trailed by 39-31 at halftime on Dec. 31before outscoring Wichita State 37-22 in thesecond half and pull out a seven-point road win.

Under second-year head coach GregMcDermott, the Bluejays are 42-1 whenoutscoring their foe after halftime.

Passing FancyGrant Gibbs had 10 assists at Tulsa on Dec. 19,then added 12 helpers vs. Northwestern threedays later. In the win over Northwestern, Gibbs’12 assists led to 32 points by his Creightonteammates.

His 12 assists were a CenturyLink CenterOmaha single-game record, rank tied for sixth-most in a game in Creighton history for allvenues, and most since Tyler McKinney alsohad 12 on Dec. 21, 2002.

Gibbs became the first Bluejay with consecu-tive games of 10 or more assists since DuanCole did it on Jan. 27 & 30, 1990.

Sophomore SnipersThree sophomores on the 2011-12 Creightonbasketball team rank among the most nine mostaccurate shooters in school history in three-point field goal percentage.

from three-point range prior to MVC play, a fig-ure that improves drastically to 53-of-127 (41.7percent) in league action.

Weekly Honors Roll InGrant Gibbs and Doug McDermott were bothhonored on Dec. 26th by the MVC for their workin wins vs. Tulsa and Northwestern.

Gibbs was named MVC Newcomer of theWeek after averaging 11.0 assists, 7.5 reboundsand 6.0 points per game. With 10 assists atTulsa and 12 assists vs. Northwestern, hebecame the first Bluejay since 1990 with con-secutive games of 10 or more assists.

McDermott was named MVC Player of theWeek after averaging 31.0 points, 6.0 reboundsand 2.5 assists per game. He scored a career-high 35 points in the win at Tulsa and scored 27points in 28 minutes vs. Northwestern.

McDermott also earned National Player of theWeek accolades from the USBWA, Dick Vitale,and Andy Katz of ESPN.com for his perfor-mance.

Scoring In NumbersDoug McDermott owns 765 points through 33games, an average of 23.2 per contest thatranks him third nationally in scoring.

McDermott’s 23.2 points per game would rankfourth-most in CU single-season history andwould be the most since Bob Portman aver-aged 26.2 points per game in 1968-69.

Portman, who finished fifth nationally in scor-ing in 1967-68 (29.5 ppg.), is the only Bluejay toever rank in the top-10 of the year-end scoringleaders.

McDermott’s 23.2 points per game wouldmake him the first MVC player over 20 pointsper game since Illinois State’s Tarise Bryson(2000-01) and the most by a MVC player sinceBradley’s Curtis Stuckey (25.1 ppg.) in 1990-91. Bryson is the only MVC player since 1989 torank in the top-five nationally in scoring.

No Bluejay has averaged more than 20 pointsper game since Bob Harstad’s 22.2 average in1989-90.

Basketball RoyaltyCreighton is the only team in the nation withthree non-conference wins vs. the Big Ten thisseason.

This is the first time that Creighton has defeat-ed three Big Ten teams in the same season inprogram history.

In three games against Big Ten competitionthis year, Doug McDermott averaged 25.3points, 8.7 rebounds while shooting 29-44 fromthe floor (65.9 percent) and 7-of-11 from down-town (63.6 percent).

B1G Ten, Big TimeCreighton went 3-0 against the Big Ten this win-ter, including home wins vs. both Northwesternand Nebraska. This is the first year Creightonhas hosted two games against Big Ten competi-tion in the same season since 1936-37.

Unbelievably, Creighton had hosted just oneBig Ten team since 1973 (Iowa in 1999) beforethis year’s slate.

Doug vs. Others After 72 GamesDoug McDermott has started all 72 games ofhis career and enters Arch Madness with 1,346career points (18.7 ppg.) and 549 careerrebounds (7.6 rpg.).

By comparison, Creighton’s all-time leadingscorer, Rodney Buford, had 1,256 careerpoints after 72 games. However, Buford had“just” 1,010 points at the end of his sophomoreseason (59 games, 17.1 ppg.).

McDermott also compares favorably to leg-endary big men Bob Harstad and ChadGallagher at this point. Harstad finished hiscareer ranked second in CU history with 2,110career points and 1,126 rebounds, whileGallagher is third with 1,983 points and fifth with891 rebounds.

Triple-Double Threat?Creighton has never had a player with a tradi-tional point-rebound-assist triple-double, butGrant Gibbs is getting closer.

The junior guard had nine points, sevenrebounds and 10 assists on Dec. 19 at Tulsa. Healso had 12 points, 10 assists and sevenrebounds on Jan. 13 at Illinois State.

Gibbs is the first player since James Farr in1988-89 to have single-game highs of 10 ormore points, 10 or more assists and nine ormore rebounds in the same season.

Creighton owns three triple-doubles in schoolhistory, all by Benoit Benjamin in 1985. Allthree were of the point-rebound-blocked shotvariety.

All I Wanted For Christmas Is 10 WinsCreighton got to the Christmas break with a 10-1 record. In 94 seasons of basketball, this wasjust the third campaign that the Jays reached 10wins before Christmas.

The Jays were 10-1 in 1963-64 and 10-2 in2008-09 heading into Christmas.

Fountains of DougDoug McDermott owns 20 or more points 23times this season and 26 of his last 39 gamesoverall dating to late last season.

McDermott owns two different stretcheswhere he’s scored 25 points or more in fourstraight games this year. He did it from Nov. 16-30 earlier this year, as well as Dec. 10-22. Thelast Bluejay with five consecutive games of 25 ormore was Benoit Benjamin, who did it in fivestraight games (Jan. 17-Feb. 2, 1985), a span inwhich he had 43, 45, 31, 26 and 29 points.

McDermott, who owns 15 different games of25 points or more this season, is the first Bluejay

with 10 different games of 25 or more points inthe same year since Bob Harstad had 15games like that in 1989-90.

How To Stop Him?Leave it to Doug McDermott’s father/coach andhis roommate to explain the task of trying to slowhim down.

"He's difficult to stop in that he scores a lot ofdifferent ways," his coach and father GregMcDermott said. "It's not just on the block, it'snot just from the 3-point line, he can slash andscore as well. In a lot of his post-up opportuni-ties, the ball is gone before you can even thinkabout double-teaming him. He's difficult to guardbecause of his versatility, and he has a lot ofpeople scratching their heads trying to stop him.And the good news for us is that he's doing itwithin the framework of our offense and he's nottaken bad shots."

"Doug's ability to score from just about any-where on the floor is what amazes me," guardJahenns Manigat said. "He has amazing handsand he finishes well. And when he steps backand knocks down a 3, that's when you can seethe full extent of his game.”

Don’t Take Our Word For ItTulsa coach Doug Wojcik was similarlyimpressed after Doug McDermott scored acareer-high 35 on Dec. 19. Here’s an excerpt ofWojcik’s post-game opening statement:

“I tell you what, that was one impressive per-formance by Doug McDermott. I thought theguy single-handedly broke the spirit of my team.In particular, my three seniors and sophomorepost players. He was terrific...My goodness, itreally surprised us how good McDermott was,particularly in the post against size, how goodhis strength is, how good his stamina is, howgood his feet are, and how good of hands hehas. He was very impressive to me, tonight.”

Dish NetworkGrant Gibbs turned in an unusual stat line in aDec. 19 victory over Houston Baptist. The juniorguard had career-highs with eight assists andfour steals, but did not attempt a shot from thefield in 19 minutes of play.

He’s the only Bluejay in more than 25 years tohave eight or more assists in a game in which hedid not attempt a field goal.

Gibbs continued to play the role of distributoron Dec. 19 at Tulsa, dishing a career-high 10assists.

One game later vs. Northwestern on Dec. 22,Gibbs had 12 assists and eight rebounds, butwas 0-for-2 from the field.

Piling Up The Points, and WinsCreighton has won 54 straight games whenscoring 90 points or more, dating to Jan. 11,1988.

Creighton has won 18 straight (at all sites)when scoring 100 points or more, dating to Feb.26, 1977.

Page 21: mvc.orgmvc.org/mbb/notes/cu.pdfDarian DeVries Assistant Coach Steve Lutz Assistant Coach Steve Merfeld Assistant Coach Jeff Vanderloo Dir. of Basketball Ops. Brian Kooienga Graduate

In home games only, Creighton has won 89straight games when scoring 70 or more pointssince a Feb. 5, 2005 loss to Missouri State.

Ball Control OffenseCreighton ranked eighth nationally with a 1.46assist/turnover ratio, and a big portion of that isdue to its starting backcourt.

Creighton’s starting guard trio of AntoineYoung (147 A, 61 TO), Jahenns Manigat(51/29) and Grant Gibbs (168/71) have com-bined for 366 assists and 161 turnovers, goodfor a collective 2.27 assist/turnover ratio.

Reserve guards Avery Dingman (6/8), JoshJones (61/31), Austin Chatman (64/40) andTaylor Stormberg (4/0) have combined for 135assists against just 79 turnovers.

McDermott’s 20/10 VisionEarlier this season Doug McDermott becamethe first Bluejay with four straight double-dou-bles since Nate King had four in a row duringthe 1993-94 campaign.

No Bluejay has owned five straight double-doubles since Benoit Benjamin had 28 in a rowin the 1984-85 campaign.

2,000,000 Fan MarchCreighton has attracted 2,21,350 fans all-time in153 games held at CenturyLink Center Omaha,good for an average of 14,453.

Creighton’s 1,000,000th fan at CenturyLinkCenter Omaha was honored on Jan. 19, 2008,in CU’s 74th game at the facility. That fan, JaredStickrod, was then a 10-year old from Omahawho received numerous prizes, including anautographed basketball and season tickets forthe 2008-09 campaign.

In Creighton’s home game on Dec. 4 vs.Nebraska, Creighton honored Omaha nativeSam King as the 2,000,000th fan atCenturyLink Center Omaha. Among his prizepackage is four season tickets for 2012-13.

Call It A ComebackCreighton trailed 31-14 early on at San DiegoState on Nov. 30 before pulling off a comebackfor the ages.

Below is a list of Creighton’s 10 comebacksfrom down 15 points or more since 2000.Notably, Creighton’s comeback at SDSU wasCU’s largest away from home in that time.

Non-Conference Home SuccessCreighton has won 38 straight regular-seasonnon-conference home games against unranked

teams, a streak it will attempt to extend nextseason.

Creighton’s last regular-season home loss toa non-conference unranked foe came on Feb.17, 2007, when Drexel upended the Jays. Thatgame was also part of the BracketBustersseries.

Bahamas BoostCreighton got a head start to the 2011-12 sea-son thanks to a four-game exhibition tour of theBahamas in mid-August. The trip, which includ-ed CU’s four scholarship freshmen, also includ-ed 10 valuable practices in the off-season.

Creighton won all four games on its tour bydouble-digits, outscoring foes by an average of27.5 points per game.

Doug McDermott led the Jays in scoring(24.3 ppg.), Will Artino led the team in rebound-ing (11.0 rpg.), Geoff Groselle topped thesquad with 10 blocked shots, and AustinChatman had a team-best 30 assists.

Each of Creighton’s last three teams to take aforeign trip have started the season strong. The2007-08 and 2003-04 teams both went toVancouver, with CU’s 2007-08 team starting theregular-season 5-0, and the ‘03-04 squad open-ing 12-0. The Jays also toured Europe in thespring of 1998, with CU opening 6-0 to begin the1998-99 campaign.

This year’s team, which went to the Bahamasin August, started 7-0.

Red Hot NightCreighton scorched the CenturyLink CenterOmaha nets on Nov. 25th in its 104-81 win vs.Campbell.

The Jays made their first 13 field goalattempts from the floor during a dizzying displaythat included four three-pointers and two othertraditional three-point plays. The scoring frenzyhelped CU to a 32-14 lead after nine minutesand well on their way to another double-digitwin.

For the evening, Creighton shot a school-record (at the time) 70.4 percent on the night,the ninth-best mark in MVC history. Creighton’sprevious best shooting night came on Feb. 3,2010, when CU made 66.7 percent (28-of-42) tobeat Evansville.

Army of IowansEvery Creighton team since 1988-89 has had atleast one Iowa native, and this season is noexception.

Creighton has three players from Iowa on thisseason’s team, continuing a long trend of relyingon some of the Hawkeye State’s top preps. CU’snative Iowans this season includes junior GrantGibbs (Marion), sophomore Doug McDermott(Ames) and redshirt freshman Will Artino(Waukee).

Other past notable Iowans include KyleKorver and Pierce Hibma (Pella), Ryan Sears(Ankeny), Brody Deren (Harlan), TylerMcKinney (Urbandale), Nate Funk (Sioux City)

and Michael Lindeman (Iowa Falls).Creighton has played at least one Iowa native

in 583 straight games. That streak dates to aFeb. 5, 1994 win against Wichita State.

Nearly A Point A MinuteA year ago at this time, Doug McDermott wasstill sneaking up on people as a baby-facedfreshman. But after a record-setting freshmanyear and preseason acclaim on the Wooden andNaismith Award lists this fall, he’s become prior-ity number one on the opponent’s scoutingreports.

Despite the extra attention paid to him, he’sscored almost a point per minute in 38 games ina Bluejay uniform this season. If you include fourexhibition games in the Bahamas (97 points, 84minutes), an exhibition win over Rockhurst (19points, 22 minutes) and 33 regular-season con-tests (765 points, 1045 minutes), he’s scored881 points in 1,151 minutes.

According to stats through March 11th onbbstate.com, McDermott’s 29.3 points per 40minutes lead the country, just ahead of ReggieHamilton’s (Oakland) 28.8 points per 40 min-utes.

Productive NightDoug McDermott had 25 points in just 18 min-utes of work on Dec. 19 vs. Houston Baptist.

He became just the second Bluejay since1985 to score 20 or more points in a game inwhich he played fewer than 20 minutes.

Ethan Wragge, McDermott’s sophomoreteammate, has done it twice. He did it againstXavier on Nov. 27, 2009 (21 points, 17 minutes)and also against Saint Joseph’s on Dec. 11,2010 (22 points, 18 minutes).

Before Wragge had done it, no Bluejay hadscored 20 or more points in less than 20 minutessince Vernon Moore put up 21 points in 19 min-utes against Nebraska-Kearney on Nov. 24,1984.

McDermott On Preseason ListsSophomore forward Doug McDermott is one of50 players nationwide named to the 2011-12John R. Wooden Award Preseason Top 50 list,as well as the Naismith preseason watch list. Hewas the only MVC player honored on either list.

McDermott is the first player from Creightonnamed to a Wooden Award list since the springof 2003, when Kyle Korver was one of 22 final-ists for the award. However, Korver neverreceived preseason acclaim in his career fromthe Wooden Award voters.

McDermott is Creighton’s first player on thepreseason Naismith list since Nate Funk prior tothe 2006-07 campaign.

All-Around DougDoug McDermott finished his remarkable fresh-man season with 581 points, 280 rebounds and47 three-point baskets last year.

I Know What You Did Last SummerBesides a trip to the Bahamas, two Creightonplayers stayed busy competing internationallythis summer.

Doug McDermott played for Team USA atthe U19 World Championships, which were heldin Riga, Latvia. McDermott started every gamefor coach Paul Hewitt’s team and was third onthe club in both points (11.3) and rebounds (6.1)per game, while topping the squad with 13three-point baskets.
