23 UCLA in November, and both losses have come against ranked teams away from home, as CU lost to No. 22 Baylor in Kansas City and No. 15 Gonzaga in Spokane. Senior guard Marcus Foster (19.5 ppg.) was a unanimous First Team All-BIG EAST pick last sea-son, when he scored 18.2 points per game. Foster led the BIG EAST in field goals made last winter and has earned Preseason All-BIG EAST acclaim this winter. He is the nation’s active leader in field goals made and sixth in career points as well. Lockdown defender Khyri Thomas (15.3 ppg., 4.3 rpg.) was named an Honorable Mention Preseason All-BIG EAST choice in October. Thomas was named BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year last season and scored a career-high 24 points in the win at Northwestern. Sophomore big man Martin Krampelj has made a huge improvement from last year in the middle, averaging 11.8 points and 7.6 rebounds per game in his first year as a starter. CU’s fourth- and fifth-leading scorers are both true freshmen, Mitch Ballock (9.2 ppg.) and Ty-Shon Alexander (7.6 ppg.), who have excelled in their rookie campaigns. Creighton is averaging 92.3 points per game this season, shooting 52.1 percent from the floor and 39.6 percent from three-point range. CU also owns a +7.6 rebound margin and a 240/131 assist/turnover ratio to date.

Scouting #23 Seton HallSeton Hall is 11-2 this season, and 8-0 at home. SHU’s only losses have come against Rhode Island (75-74) and Rutgers (71-65). Desi Rodriguez (17.9 ppg., 5.3 ppg.) shoots 51.5 percent from the floor and leads the team in scoring, while preseason All-American center Angel Delgado (13.5 ppg., 11.3 rpg.) led the nation in rebounding last season, and owns 59 career double-doubles to lead the nation’s active players. Myles Powell (14.4 ppg.) and Khadeen Carrington (13.1 ppg., 3.9 apg.) also average dou-ble-figures in scoring. The Pirates average 80.5 points per game while allowing just 67.2 per contest. SHU outrebounds foes by 6.6 rebounds per contest and shoots 48.4 percent from the floor, 36.0 percent from three-point range and 65.5 percent at the line.

The Series With Seton HallSeton Hall leads the all-time series with Creighton 11-5, including a 7-3 mark in New Jersey. The teams have alternated wins in Newark in the previous four years, inlcuding an 87-81 Seton Hall win in February behind 41 points from Khadeen

Carrington. Three of the last eight meetings at all sites have been one-point contests. Greg McDermott is 4-5 against Seton Hall and coach Kevin Willard. Willard is 6-4 all-time against Creighton, leading his 2009-10 Iona team to a 63-55 win over the Bluejays at the Old Spice Classic near Orlando, Fla.

The CoachesGreg McDermott (Northern Iowa, 1988) is in his eighth season as head coach at Creighton. He is 176-84 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 456-279 in his 24th season and is 325-215 in his 17th Division I campaign. McDermott is assisted by Darian DeVries, Preston Murphy and Alan Huss. Kevin Willard (Pittsburgh, 1997) owns an 139-104 record in his eighth season at Seton Hall, which moves his career mark to 184-153 in 11 years as a college head coach. He came to Seton Hall after a three-year stint as Iona head coach. Willard is assisted by Shaheen Holloway, Fred Hill and Grant Billmeier.

Won By OneCreighton and Seton Hall have met nine times since becoming BIG EAST rivals. Three of those games were decided by a single-point. Creighton won a Feb. 3, 2014 meeting in Omaha by a 72-71 margin, then lost heartbreakers to the Pirates on Jan. 10, 2015 in Omaha (68-67) and 67-66 on Feb. 28, 2015 in Newark. Creighton is 79-73 all-time in games decided by a single point, including a 6-6 mark under Greg McDermott.

Incredible, But True• Creighton has owned a lead of 25 points or more at some point in the first half of its last three games.• In Creighton’s last game all 12 Bluejays in uniform had at least two field goals made, one assist, and one three-point attempt.• Khyri Thomas leads Creighton with 32 assists, but five other teammates have between 29-31 helpers.• Creighton’s 116 points vs. USC Upstate were third-most in program history, and the most in any game since 1964.• Creighton has scored 90 points or more in 8-of-12 games this year. When Greg McDermott coached at UNI (2001-06) and Iowa State (2006-10), his teams reached 90+ points six times in nine seasons.

WWWWWinning StreakCreighton owns a season-best five-game winning streak after sweeping a long homestand prior to the holiday break. Including this winter, Creighton has had at least one streak of five or more wins in 20 of the last 22 seasons. Last season’s team won 13 straight games to open the year, with the final victory in that stretch coming on Dec. 28 against Seton Hall.

Top 25 JaysCreighton is ranked in the top 25 of both nation-al polls this week, coming in at No. 25 in the Associated Press poll and No. 23 in the USA Today Coaches Poll. Creighton is 111-41 all-time when playing as a ranked team in the AP poll. Creighton has now been ranked in the AP poll 87 times in program history, with 59 of those under the direction of eighth-year head coach Greg McDermott. Creighton has also been ranked in the USA Today Coaches poll in 68 weeks under McDermott. Creighton has been ranked in the top-10 in 10 different weeks in program history, with eight of those coming last season when the Jays reached an all-time best of seventh the week of January 16th.

Ranking News & NotesSeton Hall is ranked 23rd in this week’s AP poll, and Creighton 25th. Some notes of interest as it pertains to Creighton and ranked foes...- Creighton is 29-137 all-time (2-2 this year) against nationally-ranked teams in the Associated Press poll. A win on Thursday would see the 2017-18 team join the 2016-17 club as the only ones to defeat three or more ranked teams in the same season.- A win on Thursday would make Creighton the nation’s first team with three wins over top-25 competition this season. Making it all the more impressive is that all three wins would be away

from home.- Creighton is 0-3 all-time against ranked Seton Hall teams.- Creighton is 11-22 under Greg McDermott against nationally-ranked teams. He owns more top-25 wins than any coach in Creighton history, having passed Dana Altman (7) last season. Prior to McDermott’s arrival, Creighton was 18-115 all-time against top-25 foes.- Creighton entered the 2017 calendar year having never beaten multiple ranked teams in the month, but has done so twice in 2017 already. CU topped No. 12 Butler, No. 22 Xavier and No. 16 Butler in January, and then beat No. 20 Northwestern and No. 23 UCLA in November.- Creighton has won six of its last eight games against top-25 teams not named Villanova.- Creighton went 2-1 on the road last year against top-25 teams, topping No. 22 Xavier on Jan. 16 and No. 16 Butler on Jan. 31 before losing at Villanova on Feb. 25. Creighton had never before picked up multiple top-25 road wins in the same season before 2016-17, something it can duplicate with a win on Thursday after having already defeated No. 20 Northwestern on Nov. 15th at Allstate Arena.- Creighton is 6-71 all-time in true road games against top-25 teams, but four of those wins have come in the past five seasons and under the direc-tion of head coach Greg McDermott. The Jays are 4-8 under McDermott in true road games against top-25 foes after going 2-63 before his arrival.- Creighton is 2-2 all-time against teams ranked exactly 23rd, including a 100-89 win over then-No. 23 UCLA on Nov. 20 in Kansas City.- Creighton is 6-10 all-time as a ranked team when facing a ranked team, including an 0-1 record this year, a 4-2 mark last year and a 4-6 overall mark under Greg McDermott.

How They Rank?Thursday will mark Creighton’s fifth game of the season against a top-25 team, tied for the most nationally with Savannah State. All five of Creighton’s top-25 games (including Thursday) have come away from home. CU has gone 2-2 against those clubs (entering Thursday), while the Tigers are 0-5 with all five losses coming by 30 or more points. In the four games against ranked foes, Creighton averaged 81.2 points per contest, won the rebound battle by +0.3 caroms per game, and had 65 assists against just 42 turnovers. Khyri Thomas (18.3), Marcus Foster (17.0) and Martin Krampelj (12.3) have each averaged in double-figures, with true freshmen Ty-Shon Alexander (9.8) and Mitch Ballock (8.3) not far behind. CU led for 121:56, trailed for 29:31 and were tied for 8:33 in those 200 minutes against top-25 foes.

Playing With A LeadCreighton has done a good job of starting the game strong, and then holding that lead, this season. The Bluejays have led for 84.8 percent of the time this season while trailing a combined 11.3

Jays Sweep Weekly BIG EAST HonorsThe Creighton men’s basketball program swept the BIG EAST Conference weekly awards on Tuesday, Dec. 26th, as Marcus Foster was named BIG EAST Player of the Week and Mitch Ballock tabbed as BIG EAST Freshman of the Week. It’s the third honor this season for Ballock, join-ing his similar accolades on Nov. 27 and Dec. 11th. It’s Foster’s first recognition this season, though he was honored by the BIG EAST last season on both Nov. 28th and Dec. 26th. Foster averaged nearly a point a minute in lead-ing Creighton to a pair of wins last week. In 25.0 minutes per game, Foster averaged 24.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.0 steals. He shot 66.7 percent (18-27) from the field, 58.3 percent (7-12) from downtown and also converted 83.3 percent (5-6) at the line. The Wichita Falls, Texas, native had a season-high 32 points in 35 minutes in a 90-81 win over Sun Belt Conference champion UT Arlington on Monday. Foster had 22 points in the first half, most by a Bluejay at intermission since Doug McDermott at the 2014 BIG EAST Tournament, as the Bluejays raced to a 52-32 halftime lead. Foster added six rebounds and two steals while matching his sea-son-best with four assists. Foster capped his week with 16 points in just 15 minute of a lopsided win over USC Upstate. Foster made 6-of-7 shots, including 3-of-4 three-pointers, adding three rebounds, three assists and two steals. Ballock averaged 13.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists off the bench in two victories. The Eudora, Kan., native shot 7-of-13 (53.8%) from three-point range and 9-of-19 (47.4%) from the field while also draining both free throw attempts. Ballock opened his week with 14 points, two rebounds, an assist and a blocked shot in a 90-81 win over Sun Belt Conference champion UT Arlington. He then scored 13 points and added four rebounds and three assists in 20 minutes of a win over USC Upstate.

Oh My Darling, Clement TimeSenior guard Tyler Clement is coming off a career-high 10 points against USC Upstate, the first dou-ble-figure performance in his five years in the program. Clement is the 10th different Bluejay to score in double-figures this season. Among active Bluejays,

only Jordan Scurry is still trying to reach 10 points in a game. Scurry scored seven points in seven minutes on 3-of-3 shooting against the Spartans.

Foster Fills It UpMarcus Foster finished last season with 10 or more points in each of his final 18 games, and has started his senior season with 12 straight double-figure contests. His current 30-game double-figure streak is the longest by any Bluejay since Doug McDermott did so in 37 straight games from April 1, 2011 to Nov. 9, 2012. Foster scored seven points or more in all 35 games last season, finishing in double-figures in 33 of them. Earlier this fall Foster became the first Creighton player with 23 points in each of CU’s first two games of a season since Cyril Baptiste in 1970-71. Per STATS Inc., here’s the nation’s longest active streaks of double-figure scoring games.

Double-Digits x 12Marcus Foster has scored in double-figures in each of Creighton’s first 12 games of the season, the first Bluejay to start his senior season with 12 straight games of 10 or more points since Rodney Buford had 13 straight in 1998-99. Doug McDermott had been the last player with nine straight double-figure games to start any season, doing so in all 35 games of his 2011-12 sophomore season that ended with First Team All-America accolades. Below is a list of Creighton’s longest double fig-ure scoring streaks to start a season since 1979-80, where you can see that Foster (2016-17 and 2017-18) and McDermott (2010-11 and 2011-12) are the only men to start consecutive seasons with eight or more double-figure contests since 1979-80.

The 1 For SportsThursday’s game will air nationally on FS1, a chan-nel that has been quite kind to Creighton in recent seasons. Creighton is 3-0 on FS1 this winter, and last year went 12-1 on the network. Creighton is 50-22 when appearing on FS1 since the network formed in 2013. CU is also 12-1 when appearing on FS2 in program history.

They Can All ShootAll 12 Creighton men to see the floor this season have made three or more three-pointers, and each of them have also attempted at least nine trifectas. All 12 Bluejays in uniform attempted at least one three-pointer on both Dec. 15 and Dec. 20. As a team, Creighton has made 134 treys this season (19th nationally), good for 11.2 per game (11th nationally).

Friendly ConfinesCreighton has scored 103 points or more in four of their eight home games this season, and 75 points or more in all eight home contests. Creighton is averaging 97.9 points per home game this season, outrebounding foes by 11.2 caroms per contest, shooting 55.3 percent from the floor, and holding foes to 37.9 percent shooting. In the second half of home games this season, Creighton has outscored teams 410-279 (51.2-34.9) and shot 57.0 percent from the field. In the sec-ond half, Marcus Foster and Khyri Thomas are a combined 18-for-32 from three-point range (56.3 percent), compared to CU’s opponents who are 25-for-99 (25.3 percent) from downtown after the break Below is a list of seasons with the most 100+ point games in Creighton historyMost 100 Point Games in a Season, Creighton History Rank Games Year Team W-L 1. 7 1965-66 14-12 2. 5 1971-72 15-11 5 2017-18 10-2 so far 4. 4 2015-16 20-15 4 2016-17 25-10 6. 3 1989-90 21-12

100 Grand PassedCreighton has drawn 127,368 home fans this sea-son, an average of 15,921 per contest. This season marks the 16th straight season of 100,000 or more home fans for the program, a streak that started in the final season (2002-03) of the Omaha Civic Auditorium. Creighton has led its conference in home atten-dance each of the last 14 completed seasons, and is once again leading the way in the BIG EAST in 2017-18.

McDermott Earns 175th Win at CreightonWith a Dec. 18 win over UT Arlington, Greg McDermott became the second coach in program history to record 175 wins on the Bluejay sideline, as only Dana Altman (327) has previously reached that milestone. McDermott reached the mark in his 259th game on the Bluejay sideline, whereas Altman didn’t win his 175th game at CU until his 274th contest.

McDermott needed 71 games at Creighton to win his 50th contest and 134 games to earn his 100th win.

Quest For 19,000Creighton has scored 19,124 points all-time at CenturyLink Center Omaha, moving over 19,000 points on Dec. 18 vs. UT Arlington on a three-pointer by Marcus Foster with 5:12 to go to make it 82-67. Creighton has currently outscored the opposition 19,124 to 16,003 at the 15-year old facility in 247 all-time games in the building that count.

We Can Play Defense, TooCreighton limited Maryland Eastern Shore to just 36 points and 23.6 percent shooting on Dec. 15. Creighton had not held an opponent under 40 points since Indiana State (38) on March 2, 2008, and the 36 were the fewest by a Bluejay opponent since Illinois State scored 35 on Jan. 13, 1986. Indiana State (10-43, 23.3%), in that same 2008 game, had also been the last CU foe to shoot 25 percent or less from the field. Both the points scored and the field goal per-centage were the lowest marks in the 268 game history of Century Link Center Omaha, which includes 21 tournament games that did not involve Creighton. While Creighton’s offense gets all the atten-tion, the Bluejay defense has made huge strides in recent seasons, especially when you consider the

Give Me FiveCreighton has had four or more players score 10+ points in all 11 of 12 games (all but UT Arlington) this season. In Creighton’s last game on Dec. 20 vs. USC Upstate, six men scored in double-figures for the first time since on Dec. 20, 2016 at Arizona State. Creighton has had four men average in double-figures in each of the last two seasons. Last year, Marcus Foster (18.2), Justin Patton (12.9), Maurice Watson Jr. (12.9) and Khyri Thomas (12.3) all put up double-digits on a nightly basis. In 2015-16 it was Watson (14.1), Cole Huff (11.3), Geoffrey Groselle (11.2) and Isaiah Zierden (10.2). Before 2015-16, Creighton had not previously had four men finish the year scoring in double-figures since 1979-80, when Kevin McKenna, Jim Honz, George Morrow and Daryl Stovall did so.

Ronnie On The SpotRonnie Harrell Jr. continues to provide a spark off the bench, with much of his best work coming on the glass. Harrell owned 10 or more rebounds in consecu-tive games against Nebraska and Maryland Eastern Shore, both in a reserve role. Harrell is the only Bluejay reserve with consecutive games of 10 or more rebounds in the last 25 years. Harrell is one of six Creighton players to have 10 or more rebounds off the bench in a game under Greg McDermott, and the only player to do it more than once in a season.

Overtime OptionalCreighton has played 100 games in program his-tory that have gone to overtime, going 55-45 in those contests. However, the Bluejays have completed 91 straight games since last going to overtime, the longest stretch without an extra session for the program since 136 straight games from 1939-47. CU’s last overtime contest came Feb. 4, 2015 at Xavier, a 79-72 win at Cintas Center. Creighton is 5-1 under Greg McDermott in over-time games, including a 4-0 mark in conference

play. Twelve of Creighton’s last 13 games have been won by the team to score first in the extra session.

Nationally EliteCreighton ranks in the top 20 of 13 categories nationally, through games of Dec. 26. Perhaps the most impressive figure on the list is in defensive rebounds per game, where CU is sec-ond. with 31.30 per game. No team nationally has finished a season averaging more than 31.30 defen-sive rebounds per game in the last five seasons, and last year CU was 63rd with 26.69 per game.Category Rank StatDefensive Rebounds/Game 2nd 31.83Assist/Turnover Ratio 3rd 1.83Assists Per Game 3rd 20.0Scoring Offense 5th 92.3FG Percentage 6th .521Fewest Fouls/Game 7th 14.7Total Assists 9th 240Scoring Margin 10th +20.83FG Made/Game 11th 11.2Fewest Fouls 13th 176Fewest Turnovers/Game 16th 10.9Total 3FG Made 19th 134Fewest Turnovers 19th 131

My Favorite MartinMartin Krampelj did not have a double-double in the first 44 games of his career, but turned in con-secutive double-doubles on Dec. 5 (North Dakota) and Dec. 9 (Nebraska). Krampelj became the first Creighton player with point/rebound double-doubles in consecutive con-tests since Doug McDermott on March 1 and March 4, 2014. McDermott’s performance on Feb. 9 and 13 of 2013 was also the last previous time a Bluejay had 11 or more rebounds in consecutive games.

Krampelj Replaces PattonOne of Creighton’s biggest question marks enter-ing the season was how the team would replace NBA First Round Draft pick Justin Patton. To date, Martin Krampelj has answered the questions. Here’s a look at the stats for the two men:Stat Patton KramepljYear 2016-17 2017-18PPG 12.9 11.8RPG 6.2 7.6BPG 1.4 0.6APG 1.2 1.4FG% .676 .674FT% .517 .629Double-Doubles 3 2Dunks/Game 2.06 1.58

Full HouseCreighton is averaging 15,921 fans per home game this season, good for sixth-best nationally. Last season Creighton averaged 17,413 fans per home game, fifth-best in the country, and a figure that would have ranked 17th best in the NBA, ahead of 14 franchises. Last year was the 12th straight season that CU has been among the nation’s top 25 in average home attendance, and the sixth straight season in the top-10 nationally in attendance, as well.

Ty-Shon TimeTy-Shon Alexander made his first career start on Dec. 9 against Nebraska, coming through with three asissts, one rebound and one steal in 19 min-utes of a double-digit victory. Alexander is just the second true freshman point guard to start a game for Creighton in the last 10 seasons, joining Davion Mintz (12 starts in 2016-17). Like Alexander, Mintz also won his starting debut by double-figures (beating DePaul 83-66). Mintz returned to the starting line-up vs. Maryland Eastern Shore last Friday.

Ballock Can BallFor the second time this season, Mitch Ballock was named BIG EAST Freshman of the Week on Dec. 11th. Ballock averaged 9.5 points, 5.0 assists and 5.0 rebounds per game in a pair of double-digit wins for Creighton last week.

The Eudora, Kan., native opened his week with six points, four rebounds and a team-best six assists in CU’s 111-68 win over Big Sky Conference cham-pion North Dakota. He then had 13 points, six rebounds and four assists in 31 minutes off the bench to key CU’s 75-65 win over Nebraska. With CU trailing by five at the half, Ballock had 11 points, three assists and two rebounds in 18 minutes after the break, includ-ing a lay-up with 9:18 left that gave Creighton the lead for good. For the season, Ballock is averaging 9.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. He was pre-viously honored on Nov. 27, 2017.

Tough At HomeCreighton has won 22 straight non-conference home games dating to a Dec. 2, 2015 loss to Arizona State. On a national basis, that ranks as the 13th-longest streak, per recent research from the NCAANon-Conference Home Win Streaks (Through 12/27)

On The ReboundMartin Krampelj (7.6) and Ronnie Harrell Jr. (7.4) are each putting together some of better Creighton rebounding figures in recent memory. Harrell had 15 rebounds against UCLA on Nov. 20th, while Krampelj snared 14 caroms on Dec. 5 vs. North Dakota. Both men finished with 11 rebounds vs. Nebraska on Dec. 9th. Since the start of the 1994-95 season, only one Bluejay player has averaged more than 7.4 rebounds per game over the course of a season. That player, Doug McDermott, did it twice. Here’s Creighton’s single-season rebounds per game leaders since 1994-95.

Shooters ShootSince Greg McDermott was hired eight years ago at Creighton, the Bluejays have shot 50 percent or better from the field in 117 games. That ranks third nationally, trailing only Gonzaga (131) and Kansas (123), Saint Mary’s (112) and Kentucky (108) round out the top five. In those eight years, Gonzaga has shot 49.5

percent from the field, just ahead of Kansas (48.5%) and Creighton (48.2%). Belmont (48.1%) and Saint Mary’s (47.9%) round out the top five.

Dunk You Very MuchCreighton ranked fifth nationally last year with 144 dunks, with half of those coming from future NBA First Round Draft pick Justin Patton. Of Patton’s 72 dunks last year, 32 came on alley-oops. This year’s Bluejay squad owns 40 dunks through 12 games this season, including nine against SIU Edwardsville. Five of the dunks against SIUE came from Martin Krampelj, who leads this year’s club with 19 slams.

Putting Up The PointsCreighton scored 116 points on Dec. 20th vs. USC Upstate, third-most in school history, and the-most ever recorded by the Bluejays at CenturyLink Center Omaha. Creighton has now scored 116 points or more four times in the last 13 months (113 vs. Longwood; 112 vs. North Carolina State, 111 vs. North Dakota and 116 vs. USC Upstate), after not doing it a single time from 2008-09 to 2015-16. The school record for points in a game by Creighton is 124, done on Feb. 10, 1964 at Miami (Fla.) in a 30-point win. Per Basketball-Reference.com, Creighton’s 20 games of 100+ points since 2010-11 (when Greg McDermott was hired) are third-most in the nation, as seen below.

Top 25 SuccessCreighton had four wins over top-25 teams last season, twice as many as any previous campaign in program history. Six other Bluejay teams had two top-25 victories in the same season, including this year’s club. This year’s team is 2-2 against ranked teams, beating No. 20 Northwestern on Nov. 15th and No. 23 UCLA on Nov. 20th. The victories over the Wildcats and Bruins marked the first time in pro-gram history that CU has ever beaten top-25 foes in consecutive games.

Mitch-A-Palooza Makes A Stop in Kansas CityFreshman Mitch Ballock had 22 points on Nov. 20 vs. No. 23 UCLA, after scoring 26 points combined in his first three games as a Bluejay. The game was es-pecially meaningful as the Eudora, Kan., native was

playing just 35 miles from his hometown. Ballock’s 22 points were the most by a Creigh-ton freshman since Justin Patton had 25 points at St. John’s on Jan. 4, 2017 in the eventual BIG EAST Freshman of the Year’s breakout game on a national level.

Silas Enters College Hoops Hall of FameCreighton alum Paul Silas was enshrined into the College Basketball Hall of Fame in Kansas City on Sunday, November 19th. In addition to Silas, the elite class included Gonzaga’s John Stockton, Wake Forest’s Tim Duncan, Winston-Salem State’s Cleo Hill, Indiana’s Scott May, Purdue’s Rick Mount, and Duke’s Jay Williams join former Wisconsin, Milwaukee and Wisconsin-Platteville coach Bo Ryan to form the Class of 2017. Silas remains one of the most dominant rebounders in college basketball history. Following a season with the freshman team, Silas pulled down 1,751 rebounds for Creighton from 1961 to 1964 – a number that currently ranks sixth in Division I his-tory and first among three-year players. He’s also third all-time at Creighton with a career average of 20.5 points per game, and earned vari-ous All-America accolades in each of his three varsity seasons, including Academic All-America recognition from CoSIDA. The Missouri Valley Conference Hall of Famer won three NBA titles as a player in the 1970s, and later coached four different NBA franchises. Silas’ No. 35 jersey was retired by Creighton, and he joins Bill Russell, Julius Erving, Kermit Washington and Artis Gilmore as one of five play-ers in NCAA history to average at least 20 points (20.5) and 20 rebounds (21.6) during his college career. Silas owns the top 22 single-game rebounding totals in Creighton history, with a high of 38 vs. Centenary on Feb. 19, 1962. Silas owns more rebounds (1,751) than any player in the last 55 years (by comparison, Lehigh’s Tim Kempton led all active rebounders at the end of 2016-17 with 1,095 career rebounds). Last year, across all of Division I, there were only 36 games where an individual grabbed 20+ rebounds. Purdue’s Caleb Swanigan led all of col-lege hoops with four games of 20+ boards.

Silas Not The FirstPaul Silas is the fifth person with Creighton con-nections to enter the College Basketball Hall of Fame. He joined the following... Eddie Hickey, a 2006 inductee into the coaches wing, won 126 games as head coach at Creighton from 1935-43 and 1946-47. Willis Reed, a 2006 inductee as a player (at Grambling State), won 52 games as head coach at Creighton from 1981-85. Arthur A. Schabinger, a 2006 inductee as a contributor, won 165 games as head coach at Creighton from 1922-35.

Foster Up For Naismith & Wooden AwardsCreighton men’s basketball senior Marcus Foster has been named one of 50 candidates for the Citizen Naismith Trophy, the Atlanta Tipoff Club announced. A list of 30 midseason candidates will be released on Feb. 14, 2018 before the 50th pre-sentation of the award April 1, 2018. A senior from Wichita Falls, Texas, Foster was a unanimous All-BIG EAST selection last year after leading Creighton with 18.2 points per game a year ago. He ranked among the league leaders in scor-ing after posting the highest scoring average for a Bluejay newcomer since 1970. Foster’s 638 points were the 10th-most in CU history and the most ever by a Bluejay newcomer in their debut season on the court. Foster is also one of 50 preseason candidates for the John R. Wooden Award. Creighton has had one previous winner of the Naismith Trophy and the Wooden Award, as Doug McDermott collected the hardware for both fol-lowing the 2013-14 campaign.

Foster Up For Jerry West AwardCreighton men’s basketball guard Marcus Foster is one of 20 preseason candidates for the 2018 Jerry West Shooting Guard of the Year Award, which is bestowed by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Last year Foster was one of five finalists for the award. Named after Hall of Famer and 1959 NCAA Final Four Most Valuable Player Jerry West, the annual honor in its fourth year recognizes the top shooting guards in Division I men’s college basketball. Previous winners of the Jerry West Shooting Guard of the Year Award include Malik Monk, Kentucky (2017) Buddy Hield, Oklahoma (2016) and D’Angelo Russell, Ohio State (2015).

CenturyLink Center Omaha SuccessCreighton has played 247 regular and postseason contests at CenturyLink Center Omaha all-time in the 15-year-old facility. The Bluejays own a 205-42 (.830) record all-time at the facility, and have never lost there on a Thursday (7-0) or Friday (14-0). Creighton’s Nov. 25 win over SIU Edwardsville was the program’s 200th at the facility, coming in its 242nd home game. CU’s 100th win came on Nov. 17, 2010, a 63-58 win over Louisiana. Creighton has outscored its opponents 19,124-16,003 in games at CenturyLink Center Omaha, an average margin of 12.64 points per game. Creighton has led wire-to-wire 70 different times, including 18 of its last 44 home games. Creighton is also 25-24 all-time in the 49 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 32-22 when trailing at halftime at CenturyLink Center Omaha. Creighton is 108-24 (.818) at CenturyLink Center Omaha under Greg McDermott, including a 65-4 record vs. non-conference teams.

2017-18 Creighton’s Top Performances

Factor in a 17-0 home mark at the Omaha Civic Auditorium in 2002-03 and two wins at the Civic in the 2010 CIT, and the Bluejays are 225-42 (.843) at home since the start of the 2002-03 campaign.

Heeeeeeerrrrrreeeeee’s RonnieRonnie Harrell Jr.’s 15 rebounds vs. No. 23 UCLA on Nov. 20th were three more than his previous career-high, and the most by a Bluejay in any game since Doug McDermott had 15 boards vs. Tulsa on Nov. 23, 2013. Harrell’s 14 defensive rebounds were the most by any Bluejay since Kenny Lawson Jr. had 18 rebounds (14 defensive) vs. Saint Joseph’s on Dec. 11, 2010.

Nifty Fifty Leads To Postseason?Creighton shot 58.8 percent from the floor on November 10th, the program’s best mark in a sea-son-opener since blistering UT Arlington 106-50 on 59.4 percent shooting to open the 2002-03 season. Creighton has made the postseason all eight times in the previous 25 seasons in which it has made at least 50 percent of its field goal attempts to open the year. The last time that didn’t hold true was 1991-92, when CU shot 51.0 percent in the opener but finished just 9-19.

Two Of The BestA pair of Creighton players were recently ranked among the best in college basketball in some pre-season rankings of top-100 players. CBSSports.com lists Marcus Foster as the nation’s 31st-best player and Khyri Thomas as 70th-best. NBCSports.com listed Foster as the No. 21 play-er, and Thomas as 67th-best nationally. ESPN.com did a list of the nation’s top 50 play-ers, and Foster finished 30th in that voting.

#ProJaysFor the first time since 1969-70, Creighton has four NBA players at the same time as Kyle Korver (Cleveland Cavaliers), Anthony Tolliver (Detroit Pistons), Doug McDermott (New York Knicks) and Justin Patton (Minnesota Timberwolves) are all in the league. Including 2017-18, Creighton has now had an NBA player in 34 of the last 35 years. Korver ranks fifth in NBA history with 2,132 three-pointers and is sixth in league history with 43.16 percent marksmanship from three-point range (through December 25). He set a single-sea-son 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 four times. Korver is aver-aging 10.3 points per game this year and shooting 44.6 percent from downtown. Tolliver is averaging 7.7 points and 2.7 rebounds per game this season for the Pistons, his 11th NBA organization. McDermott is in his fourth season in the NBA, and first with the New York Knicks. He was traded to the Knicks with Enes Kanter in exchange for All-Star Carmelo Anthony. McDermott is averaging 8.5 points and 2.6 rebounds per game this season. Creighton’s newest NBA product is Justin Patton, who is now with the Minnesota Timberwolves but currently injured. Patton redshirted in 2015-16 before turning pro and being the 16th pick in the 2017 NBA Draft by the Chicago Bulls. Patton was then part of the Jimmy Butler trade to end up in Minneapolis, and on December 24th was recalled to the Timberwolves from the G-League affiliate in Des Moines. Patton will become the 14th different player in history with Creighton ties to play in the NBA. This is the first time since 1969-70 that Creighton has had four NBA players at the same time.

Racking Up The VictoriesIn 99 previous seasons of Bluejay Basketball, last season was the sixth team to earn 25 or more wins. Of Creighton’s six seasons in history with 25 or more wins, Greg McDermott has coached four of those in the previous six years.

All-Tourney DuoCreighton’s Marcus Foster and Khyri Thomas were both named to the 2017 Hall of Fame Classic All-Tournament Team in November. Foster averaged 17.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.0 steals in two games in Kansas City, while Thomas averaged 15.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in the championship rounds. Foster has now played in three tournaments since coming to Creighton, and been named All-Tournament in each one, as he was recognized last season in the Paradise Jam (MVP) as well as the BIG EAST Tournament.

Going For 20, 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 last 19 years: Duke, Gonzaga and Kansas. Kentucky and Florida have each done it in 18 of the last 19 seasons. Along with Arizona, Syracuse and Xavier, Creighton is one of four schools with 20 or more wins in exactly 17 of the past 19 years.

Some Loyal FansCreighton attracted 296.013 fans at home in 2016-17, surpassing 200,000 fans for the 12th straight season. CU’s average of 17,413 was second-most in program history, while the 296,013 fans were the fourth-most ever. 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 past 14 seasons. Creighton has led its conference in home atten-dance every year since moving into CenturyLink Center Omaha, which is in its 15th season.

On Your Mark, Get Set, GoCreighton averaged 81.83 points per game in 2016-17, and its 2,864 points a year ago were a school-record. This year’s team is averaging 92.3 points per game. Greg McDermott is 52-2 as a Division I head coach when his teams score 90 or more points, including a 46-2 mark on the Creighton sideline. Creighton is 62-2 all-time when scoring 100 points or more, including 35 straight wins since a 1977 loss to North Texas State.

Release, Rotation, Splash, RepeatCreighton has made at least one three-pointer in 795 straight games since a 59-53 loss at Illinois State on Feb. 20, 1993. The streak is the nation’s 19th-longest active streak. 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.

Preseason BIG EAST PollCreighton was picked to finish fifth in the BIG EAST Conference according to a preseason poll of league coaches. Villanova was picked first with 80 points and eight first-place votes, while Seton Hall and Xavier, Providence round out the top four. After Creighton, St. John’s, Marquette, Butler, Georgetown and DePaul rounded out the bottom half. Creighton guard Marcus Foster was named Preseason All-BIG EAST First Team, while Khyri Thomas was picked to be a Preseason All-BIG EAST Honorable Mention choice. Since the reconfiguration of the BIG EAST in 2013, Creighton, Providence and Villanova are the only teams to meet or exceed their poll prediction each season.

Très BienSince 2011-12, Creighton is 66-52 (.559) when shooting 40.00 percent or worse from three-point range. While respectable, that pales in compari-son to CU’s 85-15 (.850) mark the last seven years when shooting better than 40.00 percent from downtown. Lower the standards to 30%, and it’s still impres-sive. Creighton is 132-37 in the last seven years when shooting 30 percent or better from deep, compared to 20-31 when shooting 29.99 percent or less.

Home RunSince Greg McDermott took over in 2010, Creighton is averaging 80.30 points per home game (10,519 points in 131 home games), a fig-ure that climbs to 85.19 points in non-conference home games (5,878 points in 69 home games). Creighton is 90-2 all-time at CenturyLink Center Omaha when scoring 80 or points and has won 88 straight non-conference home games when scoring 80 or more points, dating to a 90-85 loss to Nebraska on Dec. 7, 1991.

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.

Clear Bag Policy Comes to CenturyLink on 12/31Starting December 31, 2017, CenturyLink Center Omaha will adopt new clear bag regulations for all arena events including Creighton University men’s home basketball games. Bags permitted under the policy include clear plastic, vinyl or PVC totes. Additionally, small clutch-sized bags will also be allowed inside the arena after a proper security inspection. However, oversized bags or purses will no longer be allowed inside the premises. After observing the success and ease of transi-tion with arenas and venues across the state, MECA and Creighton University believe the updated pol-icy to be the best safety practice for the thousands of fans who loyally attend each basketball game, and countless concert-goers who walk through the doors at CenturyLink Center Omaha.

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.
