All About Creighton
Creighton is a private university operated by the
Jesuits and located in Omaha, Neb. It was
founded in 1878 at the bequest of Mary
Lucretia Creighton, the widow of telegraph pioneer Edward Creighton, who included money
in her will for the establishment of a school in her
husband's name.
Creighton has an enrollment of 7,730 students, with more than 3,000 of those in graduate
school in CU's renowned Schools of Medicine,
Dentistry, Law and Pharmacy and other health
professions.
Of Creighton's 7,730 students in nine schools
and colleges, 58 percent are female and 42 percent are male. Geographically, all 50 states and
68 different countries are represented by the
student body. Omaha has a population of
373,000 and is annual home to the College
World Series, which will celebrate its 63rd consecutive year in Omaha in June.
Creighton offers NCAA Division I athletics in
14 varsity sports (six varsity sports for men:
baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, soccer
and tennis, eight varsity sports for women: basketball, crew, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis and volleyball).
All men's and women's teams, except crew,
compete in the 105-year-old Missouri Valley
Conference, the oldest college conference west
of the Mississippi River.
Famous Alumni
Among the Creighton's famous former studentathletes are Charlotte Hornets coach Paul
Silas, St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Bob Gibson
and Chicago Bulls guard Kyle Korver.
The Bluejay Mascot
“Billy Bluejay" is the official mascot of the
Creighton University athletics department. The
Bluejays were originally depicted by a "birdwatcher's bluejay," but that was changed in 1941
when Joseph P. Murphy, a Creighton alumnus,
designed the current version of Billy, one with a
more human stance and expression.
Prior to 1924, Creighton teams were referred
to as the "Hilltoppers," but that name lost favor
because at least six other teams in the country
also used the same nickname.
The Omaha Bee assisted the University's
Athletic Board and Alumni Association in finding
a new nickname by asking readers to submit
possibilities.
After reviewing 200 entries, the Athletic Board
decided upon "Bluejays" because of the school's
colors, blue and white. Today, Creighton
remains the only NCAA Division I athletics program known officially as the Bluejays.
Please note that Creighton’s nickname
(Bluejays) is one word, which is different than
the Toronto baseball team that is two words
(Blue Jays).
Postseason x 15
Including this year, Creighton has made the
postseason in 15 consecutive seasons, extending the longest streak of postseason bids in
MVC history.
The only eight schools to make the postseason in each of the last 15 years are Creighton,
Duke, Florida, Gonzaga, Kansas, Kentucky,
Michigan State and Syracuse.
NCAA Tournament History
Creighton is making its 17th NCAA Tournament
appearance, and eighth in the last 14 years. The
Bluejays are 9-17 all-time in NCAA action,
including a 6-10 record in its first game.
Creighton’s last NCAA Tournament game
was on March 16, 2007, where seventh-seeded
Nevada beat Creighton, 77-71 in overtime, in
New Orleans, La.
Creighton’s last NCAA Tournament win came
on March 15, 2002, when Terrell Taylor drained
a three-pointer with 0.2 seconds left in doubleovertime to beat fifth-seeded Florida, 83-82, in
Chicago, Ill.
In 24 previous NCAA or NIT appearances,
Creighton has never won consecutive games in
the same event.
MVC vs. SEC
Since 1994, the Missouri Valley and
Southeastern Conferences have met up eight
times, with the MVC holding a 5-3 edge.

the bench in a loss to Syracuse.

This is the fifth time in MVC history that the
same school has won the men’s and women’s
tournament titles in the same season.
Creighton, however, is the first program to do it
twice (UNI 2010, Creighton 2002 and 2012,
Missouri State 1992, Illinois State 1983).
Tournament Titles Help
Only five teams in the March 4 edition of the
Associated Press top-25 poll went on to win their
conference tournament title, an elite group that
includes Missouri, Michigan State, Murray State,
Florida State and Creighton.
Since 2004, six of the eight teams that won a
national title, first won their league tournament
title. The only exceptions came in 2005 and
2009, both years that North Carolina won the
national title.
One Shining Moment
Currently an assistant coach at Creighton,
Steve Merfeld coached one of the biggest
upsets in NCAA Tournament history when his
15th-seeded Hampton team defeated secondseeded Iowa State, 58-57, in Boise, Idaho, in
2001.
Merfeld’s team closed the game on a 14-2
run, capped by a Tarvis Williams basket with
6.9 seconds left. ISU All-American Jamaal
Tinsley’s coast-to-coast lay-up attempt rolled
out as time expired.
As the final horn sounded, Merfeld across the
court from his bench area to the other side,
where he was picked up by forward David
Johnson in an enduring image as Merfeld
kicked his feet in jubilation.
Friday marks the 11-year anniversary of that
game.
Coaching Experience In The Dance
Creighton’s coaching staff boasts a combined
15 Division I NCAA Tournament games under
their collective belts as either a player, graduate
manager, assistant coach or head coach.
Greg McDermott is 0-3 in NCAA Tournament
action, all of it as head coach at Northern Iowa
(0-1 in 2004, 2005 and 2006).
Steve Merfeld is 1-2 in NCAA Tournament
action, all of it as head coach at Hampton (1-1 in
2001, 0-1 in 2002).
Darian DeVries is 2-7 in NCAA Tournament
action, all of it as an assistant or graduate manager with Creighton (1-1 in 1999 and 2002; 0-1
in 2000, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007).
Alabama coach Anthony Grant was an associate head coach at Florida in 2002 when
Creighton upset the Gators in double-overtime.
Creighton By Region
Creighton owns a 6-9 record all-time in the
Midwest Region. That includes two wins each in
1962 and 1974, and one win in both 1964 and
2002.
History As An Eighth Seed
Creighton is a eighth seed for the second time in
history The Jays were also seeded eighth in
1981, where it lost to Saint Joseph’s by one
point.
Since the NCAA began seeding all the teams
in 1979, MVC teams are 1-3 as the eighth seed,
with the lone win coming in 1984 by Illinois
State.
Since 1985, No. 8 seed is 51-57 against No.
9 seeds in the NCAA Tournament. However, the
No. 8 seeds are 22-18 in the past 10 tournaments vs. the No. 9 seed.
Ten different teams seeded No. 8 have made
the Sweet 16 since 1985, most recently Butler
last season.
Nationally, teams seeded No. 8 have combined for two or more wins in each of the last
four years.
Combined with Wichita State’s No. 5 seed,
this is the first time since 1984 that the MVC
owned two top-eight seeds in the same tournament.

Connections With Alabama
Creighton and Alabama don’t have a lot in common, but a few things come to mind.
Former Creighton softball student-athlete and
assistant coach Kate Petullo is now the director
of softball operations for the nationally-ranked
Alabama softball program.

The first of Creighton’s school-record 10 road
wins this year took place in Alabama, when the
Jays defeated UAB, 70-60 on Nov. 16th. That
was just the second game Creighton had ever
played in the Yellowhammer state (both wins).
Creighton is 5-1 all-time against teams from
Alabama. CU is 1-0 against Alabama State,
UAB, Samford and South Alabama, and 1-1 versus Auburn.
Since 1970, Creighton has had just two players from the state of Alabama. Brandon Sims
(Birmingham) played for CU in 2002-03, while
Marcus Lockett (Tuscaloosa) played at CU
from 1994-96.
Carolina Connection
Charlotte Bobcats head coach Paul Silas is a
Creighton graduate. Silas, who was inducted
into the MVC Hall of Fame on March 2nd, is one
of five men in NCAA history to average at least
20 points (20.5) and 20 rebounds (21.6) in a
career (joining Bill Russell, Julius Erving,
Kermit Washington and Artis Gilmore).
In 2005, Creighton was sent to Cleveland for
the NCAA Tournament. Silas, then the Cavaliers
head coach, was fired four days after Creighton
was eliminated by West Virginia. He’s certainly
hoping for better results this time around,
despite running a Bobcats team that is currently
5-34.
Sweet Valley Success
Since 1994, the MVC is 21-34 in the NCAA
Tournament with eight Sweet 16 trips to its credit. The last Valley team to reach the second
weekend was UNI in 2010, which came thanks
to a stunning win over top-seeded Kansas.

More Postseason Nuggets
Creighton’s postseason success in recent years
has spawned these nuggets:
- Creighton is one of 10 schools with a postseason win each of the last four years. That list consists of Creighton, Duke, Kansas, Kansas State,
North Carolina, Pittsburgh, Purdue, Syracuse,
Virginia Tech and Wisconsin.
- Creighton is one of seven schools with multiple
postseason wins each of the last two years. That
list consists of Butler, Creighton, Duke,
Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio State and VCU.
Postseason Features Last-Second Endings
Nine of Creighton’s previous 10 postseason
runs have included a game that was decided in
the final seconds.
In fact, Creighton’s postseason openers in the
past 10 years have had three games decided by
one point (including a double-OT finish), two by
two points, two by six points (including an OT
finish) and three games by 11 points.
Last year Creighton’s season ended in heartbreaking fashion in the CBI title game at
Oregon. Creighton had the ball in a tie game
with the shot clock off, but committed a backcourt violation on Oregon’s unique floor. The
Ducks’ E.J. Singler then banked in a game-winning shot with 2.0 seconds left. A desperation
three-pointer by Creighton was off the mark.
In 2009, Creighton rallied from a 14-point
deficit and would hang on to beat Bowling
Green, 73-71 in the first round of the NIT. The
Jays needed a last-second defensive stand, as
BGSU’s Darryl Clements’ game-winning threepointer at the buzzer was off the mark.
The following game, Creighton led Kentucky
by one with 36 seconds left, only to miss two
free throws and see UK All-American Jodie
Meeks convert a three-point play. CU’s Booker
Woodfox, the nation’s No. 2 three-point shooter,
missed an open trey as time expired, and
Creighton lost 65-63.
In 2008, Creighton rallied from a 12-point

the game-winner with 3.2 seconds left to give
CU its first lead of the game since 3-0.
In 2007, Creighton had the ball for a final shot
in a tie game against Nevada in the first round of
the NCAA Tournament. Nate Funk’s shot
attempt missed, and a tip-in try was also not
converted. The Jays would eventually lose 7771 in overtime.
In second round of the 2006 NIT, Miami (Fla.)
guard Guilermo Diaz drained a free throw with
2.6 seconds left to beat Creighton 53-52. A lastsecond shot attempt by Bluejay senior Johnny
Mathies was knocked out of his hands.
In the 2005 NCAA Tourney, Nate Funk had
his three-point try with seven seconds left
blocked by Tyrone Sally, and Sally raced downcourt for a breakaway dunk with 2.4 seconds left
to give West Virginia a 63-61 win. Funk’s threepoint try from the corner missed at the buzzer.
In 2004, Creighton fell 71-70 to Nebraska in
the NIT. The Jays led nearly the entire second
half before NU’s go-ahead basket with 12 seconds left. Nate Funk’s game-winning jumper
from 18-feet away was blocked by Husker guard
Jake Muhleisen.
In 2003 Creighton lost 79-73 to Central
Michigan in the NCAA’s. The Jays trailed 50-24
with 16:24 left but a furious rally got them within
two points (72-70) with 1:20 left, only to turn it
over the next three possessions.
In the 2002 NCAA’s, Creighton beat #15
Florida, 83-82, in Chicago. Terrell Taylor hit a
game-winning trey with 0.2 seconds left in double-overtime, his final three of 28 points after a
scoreless first half.

Creighton won its record 11th MVC Tournament
title with victories over Drake, Evansville and
Illinois State on March 2-4 in St. Louis. Doug
McDermott was named Most Outstanding
Player after scoring 73 points in the three wins,
including 33 in the final. Antoine Young and
Gregory Echenique also earned all-Tourney
accolades.
Father/Son Duos
According
to
the
website
CollegeHoopedia.com, Doug McDermott is
just the sixth man in NCAA history to be named
conference player of the year while playing for
his father.
Joining them on that elite list are Dick/Mark
Acres (Oral Roberts), Dick/Tony Bennett (UW
Green Bay), Homer/Bryce Drew (Valparaiso),
Press/Pete Maravich (LSU) and Clifford/C.J.
Reed (Bethune-Cookman).
Nothing Neutral About It
Creighton is a perfect 4-0 on neutral floors this
season, picking up wins in St. Louis over Drake,
Evansville and Illinois State to go with a victory
in Des Moines vs. Iowa.
In those four games, Creighton is averaging
83.0 points per game, outscoring foes by 15.5
per contest and outrebounding teams by 13.0
boards per game.
Creighton shoots 52.4 percent on neutral
courts, including 41.3 percent from downtown.
Non-Conference Success
Creighton is 14-1 this year in 15 games outside
of league play, including a 7-1 record away from
home.
The Bluejays have outscored opponents by
an average of 15.2 points per game and outrebounded foes by 7.1 boards per contest.
Individually, Doug McDermott has averaged
25.9 points and 8.5 rebounds per game, making
64.1 percent from the field and 56.9 percent of
his three-point attempts.
Last 30/30 Man?
If Doug McDermott can notch 30 or more points
on Friday vs. Alabama, he’d join some rare company. No Bluejay has had back-to-back games
of 30 or more points since Bob Harstad on Feb.
10 & 12, 1990.
Did The CBI Help?
Has playing in the 2011 College Basketball
Invitational served as a springboard for
Creighton?
Last year Creighton reached the championship series of the CBI, gaining 17 extra practices and six extra games to extend their season
until April 1st.
In 2010, VCU won the CBI and would benefit
from that experience with an unlikely run to the
Final Four of the NCAA Tournament.
McDermott In The Postseason
Creighton coach Greg McDermott is making his
second postseason appearance at Creighton,
and fourth overall as a Division I head coach if
you include his time at Northern Iowa.
McDermott’s Division I teams own a 4-5
record in four previous postseason appearances, including a 4-2 mark at Creighton.
Jays Remain In AP & Coaches Polls
After a two-week absence, Creighton returned to
both top-25 polls on February 27th. The Jays are
currently 19th in the Associated Press poll and
20th in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches poll.
Creighton has now been in the Associated
Press poll 12 of the last 15 weeks. Its’ No. 13
ranking on Jan. 30th was Creighton’s highest
ranking since being 12th on Feb. 10, 2003.
Creighton has now been in the USA
Today/ESPN Coaches poll in 15 of the past 17
weeks. The Jays’ No. 12 rank on Jan. 30th was

2003.
Creighton’s highest rankings in school history
are ninth in the coaches poll and 10th in the AP
poll. Both came on Jan. 20, 2003.
For the sake of Creighton’s records and consistency, the school recognizes the Associated
Press poll, which can be found on page 165 of
the Creighton men’s basketball media guide.

and reached the Final Four; Memphis State participated in the NIT.
Offense Wins Championships?
Creighton once again ignored the saying that
“Defense wins championships” this season. The
Bluejays lead the MVC in scoring offense this
season, averaging 80.0 points per game, and
won the MVC Tournament.
Since 1997-98, seven of the 15 teams to lead
the league in scoring offense went on to win the
MVC Tournament (Drake in 2008, ILS in 1998,
CU in 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2011).
By comparison, only two teams that led the
league in scoring defense won the MVC
Tournament (SIU in 2006, UNI in 2010).
Going On The Offensive
Speaking of offense, Creighton leads the nation
in field goal percentage at 50.9 percent.
Since 2005-06 there have been seven teams
that finished a year shooting 50.8 percent or better from the field. Six of those seven teams
made the NCAA’s, going 17-4 in the “Big
Dance”, and two (Kansas in 2008 and Florida in
2007) won the national title.
By comparison, nine teams held foes to 56.0
points per game or less in the same six-year
span. Those teams combined for just four NCAA
bids and went a combined 5-4 in the Big Dance.
of the Year from a non-championship team since
Kyle Korver in 2002-03.
He is just the second player in MVC history to
be named both MVC Freshman of the Year
(2011) and MVC Player of the Year (2012), joining Southern Illinois’ great Ashraf Amaya (1990
FOY and 1992 POY).
McDermott Named MVC Player of the Year
Doug McDermott is the first sophomore in
league history to be named Larry Bird MVC
Player of the Year.
McDermott leads The Valley and ranks third
nationally with 23.2 points per game and is also
ranked second in the conference in both
rebounding (8.2 rpg.) and three-point percentage (.495).
McDermott’s five MVC Player of the Week
accolades were the most by any individual in a
season in 25 years (since National Player of the
Year Hersey Hawkins in 1988), and the only
sophomores in league history with more points
in a season are Oscar Robertson and Larry
Bird.
McDermott is the first Creighton player named
MVC Player of the Year since Booker Woodfox
in 2009, and fifth different Bluejay overall, a
group that also includes Bob Harstad (1989),
Chad Gallagher (1991), Kyle Korver (2002
and 2003), and Woodfox (2009).
McDermott’s honor gives Creighton six MVC
Player of the Year awards, tying Bradley and
Southern Illinois for most all-time.
He is the first player to be named MVC Player
Echenique Named MVC’s Top Defender
Junior center Gregory Echenique is the first
player in Creighton history to be named MVC
Defensive Player of the Year.
Echenique leads the MVC with 54 blocked
shots this season and is second with 1.6 blocks
per game. He’s also fifth in the MVC with 7.4
rebounds per contest, and second with 61.4 percent shooting from the field.
In league play, Echenique led the MVC with
1.7 blocks per game and 2.8 offensive rebounds
per game, while also ranking second in
rebounds per game (8.2) and field goal percentage (.630), fifth in defensive rebounds per contest (5.3) and 10th in free throw percentage
(.811).

Last year Doug McDermott set a Creighton
(and MVC) record for points by a freshman with
581. This season, McDermott has 765 points,
the most single-season points in school history
by any player.
McDermott’s 1,346 points to date are most in
school history by a player in their first two seasons, passing Bob Portman (1,195).
He's also just the third sophomore in MVC
history to reach 700 points in a season, and
trails only Oscar Robertson and Larry Bird on
that list.

Sneaking Up On Two Milestones
Because he’s split his college career between
Rutgers and Creighton, you might not realize the
rather impressive college stats being generated
by Gregory Echenique.
Just a junior, Echenique owns 997 points, 740
rebounds and 203 blocked shots in his first 102
games as a collegian.
Had all those stats been generated at
Creighton, Echenique would rank 37th in career
points, seventh in career rebounds and second
in career blocked shots at CU.
Here’s To History
With last week’s MVC Tournament title,
Creighton head coach Greg McDermott
became the first head coach in league history to
win a Valley Tournament title at more than one
school.
McDermott previously won a title in 2004 at
Northern Iowa. The 1990 Northern Iowa grad
McDermott also holds the honor of being the first
coach in league history to win an MVC
Tournament title at his alma mater.
Seven Out Of 14 Tourney Titles
Creighton owns seven league tournament titles
in 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 are
more than twice as many as the next closest
school, Southern Illinois (5).
Won By One
Creighton won its Feb. 21 game vs. Evansville
by a single point, 93-92, then topped Indiana
State 61-60 on Feb. 25th. The Bluejays are now
3-0 in one-point games this winter after going 01 a year ago.
Creighton had not played two straight games
decided by one point since the 2003 MVC
Tournament, when it beat Indiana State and
Wichita State by one point each before throttling
Southern Illinois, 80-56, in the championship
game.
Finishing Strong
Creighton has trailed with three minutes left in
four of its last six games, only to rally and win
each time.
In those four wins (Long Beach State,
Evansville, Indiana State and Illinois State),
Creighton outscored foes 33-16 in the final three
minutes of regulation (51-30 if you include the
Evansville & Illinois State overtimes).
Creighton shot 11-of-18 from the field in the
last three minutes of regulation in those games,
while also holding foes to 5-of-13 shooting from
the floor. Creighton has also outrebounded foes
13-4 in the last three minutes of regulation in
those 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 in
games decided by three points or less this year.
Good To The Last Shot
Creighton took the lead on its final shot of the
game to win back-to-back contests vs. both
Long Beach State (Feb. 18) and Evansville
(Feb. 21). Incredibly, Creighton won both times
despite leading for a combined 0.3 seconds in
the second half of those games.
The last time Creighton had won consecutive
games on its final shot came on Nov. 24 and 30
of 2004, when Tyler McKinney hit game-winners to beat Ohio State and Xavier.
Records Fall in St. Louis
Creighton set numerous records in St. Louis
Doug
during
the
MVC Tournament.
McDermott’s 33 points in the final tied the most
in CU history in the event, and were also the
most of any player in a title game since it moved
to St. Louis.
McDermott’s 73 points in the event were a
school-record, and his 24 field goals made
matched a program record as well.
McDermott also set Creighton’s career-mark
for three-point accuracy at the event (min. 4
att.). He’s 9-for-16 in his career from downtown
in St. Louis, good for 56.3 percent.
In addition, Josh Jones shot 4-of-5 from the
field vs. Evansville from three-point range,
matching a single-game record.

Doubling Up
Creighton’s Doug McDermott joined some elite
company at the 2012 MVC Tournament after
taking home Most Outstanding Player honors.
He is just the fifth player in league history to
be named MVC Player of the Year and MOP of
the league tournament, joining Drake’s Adam
Emmenecker (2008), Creighton’s Kyle Korver
(2002 and 2003), Southern Illinois’ Chris Carr
(1995) and Bradley’s Hersey Hawkins (1988).
Running Down A Record
Creighton has scored 2,641 points this season,
third-most in program history. Creighton’s 200203 team scored 2,688 points in 34 games, while
last season’s squad needed 39 games to score
2,684 points.
Road Trippers
Creighton has 10 road wins and four victories on
a neutral site this year.
Including this season, each of Creighton's last
nine NCAA Tournament teams have won 10 or
more games away from home.
Creighton and Murray State are the only
school in the country with three top-50 wins as
well as 10 true road wins.
Creighton’s 10 true road wins are a schoolrecord, breaking the mark of nine originally set in
1999-91.
Rare Bird
Doug McDermott’s averages of 23.2 points and
8.2 rebounds per game, combined with his
shooting percentages of 61.0 percent overall,
49.5 percent from three-point range and 79.9
percent from the line are something you usually
only see in a video game.
McDermott is the nation’s only player averaging better than 19 points per game who shoots
better than 53 percent from the field.
Since 2008-09, no player nationally has averaged more than 20 points per game while shooting 48.0 percent from three-point range, regardless of the number of attempts.
Also, since 2004-05 McDermott is one of two
sophomores nationally to average 22.0 points
and 8.0 rebounds per game or more. The other
player to do that came in 2008-09 and was former Oklahoma and current Los Angeles
Clippers standout Blake Griffin. Griffin had 90
dunks in his sophomore season, while
McDermott owns one dunk this year (at
Bradley).
Upping The Antoine
Senior point guard Antoine Young continues to
ascend up a few Creighton charts. He is the only
Bluejay in history with at least 1,325 points and
425 career assists.
He’s up to 17th on Creighton’s all-time scoring
chart, and his 496 assists rank third-most in
Bluejay annals.

Nebraska’s Finest
Antoine Young hails from south Omaha suburb
of Bellevue, and statistically is one of the top
homegrown products in Nebraska history to play
at Creighton.
Young’s 496 assists are most in program history by a Nebraska product, 108 more than the
388 by predecessor Josh Dotzler (another
Bellevue product and Young’s former high
school teammate).
From a scoring prospective, Young’s 1,330
points ranks third-most in school history by a
Nebraska product. John C. Johnson (Omaha)
leads that list with 1,526 points, while Schuyler
product Gene Harmon (1,369) is second on the
list.
20-Win Seasons
Creighton has earned its 24th 20-win season in
program history, and its 28 wins are one shy of
the school record. Here’s a look at Creighton’s
teams with 20 or more wins.

--
Celsius or Fahrenheit ?
Sophomore Jahenns Manigat led in the MVC in
league play with his 49.2 percent marksmanship
from three-point range. When it came to CU’s
nine 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 Granted
Grant Gibbs poured in a career-high 20 points
in Creighton’s MVC Tournament finals victory
vs. Illinois State. Though he had scored in double-figures on nine previous occasions, he had
never scored more than 12 points before March
4th.
Gibbs finished the title game with 20 points,
seven rebounds, five assists and no turnovers.
He is Creighton’s only player in the past 25
years with at least 20-7-5 and no turnovers in a
game.
Down The Stretch Star
Senior Antoine Young is playing inspired basketball, as if he doesn’t want his career to end.
In the last 10 games, Young has averaged 15.9
points and 4.4 assists per game.
Young is shooting 51.0 percent from the floor
and 75.0 percent from the line in those games.
Seven of the 10 games were decided by eight
points or less.
McDermott Claims Fifth MVC Honor
Doug McDermott won his fifth MVC Player of
the Week award on Feb. 20th after he averaged
27.0 points and 7.5 rebounds in wins over
Southern Illinois and Long Beach State.
His five awards are the second-most in MVC
history for a single-season, trailing only the six
won by Bradley’s Hersey Hawkins in 1987-88
when Hawkins went on to earn National Player
of the Year acclaim.
McDermott was also named Dick Vitale’s
National Player of the Week on Feb. 20th, the
second time this season he’s been honored by
Vitale.
Speaking Of Honors
Doug McDermott is also a finalist for the Lou
Henson National Player of the Year, an award
that collegeinsider.com hands out to the nation’s
top mid-major player.
Senior Group
Creighton honored four men who suited up in
their final home game on Feb. 21st; Antoine
Young, Matthew Dorwart, Derek Sebastian
and Ross Ferrarini, as part of Senior Night festivities.
During the past four years, the Jays have
gone 96-45 while appearing in the postseason
every season and claiming a share of the 200809 MVC regular-season title.
Of the quartet, Young owns the most accomplishments on court. The Bellevue, Neb., native
is the only player in school history with 1,325
points and 450 assists. He led the MVC in
assist/turnover ratio as both a sophomore and
junior, and last season also paced The Valley in
assists per game en route to earning secondteam all-MVC honors.
A native of Sidney, Neb., Dorwart is finishing
up his fourth year with the program. He’s played
in 27 games as a Bluejay, amassing 11 points,
eight rebounds and three blocked shots. Off the
court he was part of a film crew that produced
the award winning documentary “Mato Oput”,
which focused on the civil war in Uganda during
the past 20 years.
Sebastian hails from Loveland, Colo., and
plays on the wing. He’s played in 25 games during his four years in the program, producing 12
points, seven rebounds and four assists. When
he’s not on the court, Sebastian has spent this
semester student-teaching at Omaha North
High School.
Ferrarini is a guard from Omaha in his third
year in the program after transferring in from
Nebraska in 2009. One of the team’s top threats
from long-range, Ferrarini owns 17 points and
six rebounds in 44 career minutes played over
the course of 23 games. Nicknamed “The
Godfather”, he’s twice had the hoop that gave
the Jays 75 points and earned the home crowd
free Godfather’s Pizza.
Losses Can Teach Lessons Too
Though Creighton was upset in its Feb. 7 game
at Evansville, it doesn’t necessarily mean horrible things are ahead. Including this year, six of
the last seven seasons that Evansville has beaten Creighton, the Jays have recovered to win
either the MVC Tournament or regular-season
title, as seen below:

Heading Towards The Top 10
The MVC hasn’t had a player rank in the top-10
nationally in scoring since Illinois State’s Tarise
Bryson finished fourth in 2000-01 at 22.8 points
per contest.
The MVC hasn’t had two players finish in the
top-10 in scoring since Bradley’s Hersey
Hawkins and Southern Illinois’s Steve
Middleton 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, ranked
sixth nationally by averaging 25.9 points per
game as a senior at Evansville in 1987-88. The
Purple Aces were not part of the MVC at that
time.
CenturyLink Center Omaha Dramatics
Antoine Young’s bucket with 0.3 seconds left
vs. Long Beach State on Feb. 18th made him
the first player in CenturyLink Center Omaha
history with two game-winning scores.
Creighton is now 6-2 in games with a goahead score in the final 10 seconds in the nineyear old facility.

Little Mac Attack
Doug McDermott scored 36 points on 14-of-20
shooting in a Feb. 18th win over Long Beach
State. His 36 points were the most in
CenturyLink Center Omaha history for any
game that didn’t reach overtime.
The two highest-scoring games in Creighton
history in the building came when Cavel Witter
scored 42 points in a double-OT win over
Bradley on March 1, 2008, while Nate Funk had
38 points in a Nov. 26, 2005 double-OT triumph
over Dayton.
In a Feb. 21 overtime game vs. Evansville,
Purple Aces guard Colt Ryan had a building
record 43 points. The previous high by a Bluejay
opponent had been 34, done twice previously
(Dayton’s Brian Roberts & Northwestern’s
Drew Crawford).
Home Sweet Home
Creighton 65-16 all-time in MVC games at
CenturyLink Center Omaha, including a 9-0
mark vs. Evansville.
An overtime win on Feb. 21st vs. Evansville
guaranteed the fifth straight season Creighton
has finished exactly 7-2 in league play at home,
and eighth time in those nine years it’s been 7-2
or better in Valley play at home.
Lights Out Shooting
In 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 MVC
record by making 77.5 percent from the field
(31-40).
The mark easily eclipsed the previous schoolrecord of 70.4 percent (Nov. 25, 2011 vs.
Campbell) and also outdid the previous MVC
record of 74.5 percent by Bradley vs. West
Texas State (Jan. 28, 1984).
Creighton’s marksmanship was the best by
any college team since 2005, and tied for the
20th-best mark in NCAA history for one game.
Lights Out Shooting, Part II
Creighton shot a season-best 75 percent (1520) in the first half on Feb. 14th at Southern
Illinois, its best half since shooting 18-of-23 in
the second half at Drake on Jan. 9, 2007.
The stellar performance lasted about an hour
before CU made 16-of-20 shots in the second
half (80 percent).
The 80 percent effort in the second half is tied
for the eighth-best figure in MVC history for one
half.
The Valentine’s Day win marked the first time
in program history that Creighton shot 70 percent or better in both halves of the same game.
Lights Out Shooting Part III
Creighton owns two of the top-three singlegame shooting marks nationally in 2011-12.
In addition to its 77.5 percent shooting on
Feb. 14th, third on that list is Creighton’s 70.4
percent accuracy vs. Campbell on Nov. 25th,
which is just behind the 71.4 percent shot by
Middle Tennessee in its win at UCLA on Nov.
15th.
In the last 15 years (since 1997-98), the only
three teams to shoot 70 percent or better twice
in the same season have been Creighton (201112), Rice (2006-07) and Utah State (2004-05).
Lights Out Shooting, Part IV
One reason Creighton shot at a record rate on
Feb. 14th was its proficiency from three-point
range.
Creighton’s 12-of-14 shooting (85.7 percent)
from three-point range was a school record and
ranks tied for ninth-best in NCAA history for a
team with at least 10 makes from deep.
Creighton is also the only team nationally in
the last 15 years to make 10 or more threepointers in a game in which it shot 76 percent or
better from the floor as a team.
Full House
Last year Creighton averaged 13,507 fans per
home game, which ranked 22nd nationally. The
program ranked 14th at the end of the regularseason with an average of 15,026 before four
CBI home games brought down the average.
Creighton surpassed 200,000 home fans in a
season for the sixth time. No other school in the
history of the MVC has ever done so even once.
Creighton has finished in the top-25 of the
national attendance leaders in each of the previous five seasons, and averaged 16,664 fans at
home so far this season, good for seventh place,
and a MVC single-season record.

Valley Record Falls Too
Creighton averaged 17,062 fans per MVC home
tilt this year, easily an MVC record. The previous
mark, also set by Creighton, was an average of
16,422 from the 2008-09 campaign.
Familiar Fives
Creighton has utilized the same starting line-up
all season long, as Gregory Echenique, Doug
McDermott, Grant Gibbs, Jahenns Manigat
and Antoine Young have started all 33 games.
According to STATS Inc., the only schools
with the same starting five every game (through
March 11th) were Creighton, Missouri, Nevada,
Wisconsin and Youngstown State.
Young owns 105 consecutive starts, which
dates back to the second game of his sophomore season.

Road History
For the first time in 29 attempts Creighton has
won a road game at all three of MVC schools in
Illinois (Bradley, Illinois State, Southern Illinois)
in the same season.
Including this season, all 11 Creighton teams
to win two Valley road games in Illinois reached
the postseason, including seven NCAA
Tournament squads.
Making Them Ill(inois)
Creighton is 9-0 this season against teams from
the state of Illinois, having gone 3-0 against
Illinois State, 2-0 against Bradley and Southern
Illinois, and 1-0 versus Northwestern and
Chicago State.
The last time Creighton played a season without a loss to a team from Illinois was 1973-74.
Team of the Millennium?
Below is the records for each MVC school since
the start of the 2000-01 season, ranked by overall winning percentage. Creighton leads the

King of Efficiency
One of the most incredible things about Doug
McDermott’s lofty 23.2 points per game scoring
average is how little he actually handles the ball.
Creighton video coordinator Nathan
Wieseler broke down three different games this
season where some of college basketball’s top
players each took 14 shots.
When McDermott faced Drake on Jan. 25, he
made 10-of-14 field goals and finished with 30
points, nine rebounds and one assist. He handled the ball for a total of 1:23 of actual game
time.
When Kansas standout forward Thomas
Robinson 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 of
2:50.
When Weber State point guard and national
scoring leader Damian Lillard faced Northern
Arizona on Jan. 10th, Lillard had 18 points, six
rebounds and six assists. He had the ball in his
hand for a whopping 7:13 of game time.
Sports Illustrated Profiles McDermott
Kelli Anderson of Sports Illustrated spent four
days with the Bluejays in late January/early
February for a feature on Bluejay sophomore
Doug McDermott.
Her four-page article, which includes four
photos, can be found on pages 54-57 of the Feb.
13, 2012 edition that features Eli Manning on
the cover.
It’s Up, And It’s Good
Doug McDermott leads the nation with 293 field
goals made this season. That ranks secondmost in a season in Bluejay history, trailing only
Bob Portman’s 303 buckets in 1967-68.
By comparison, no other player in the MVC
has more than 188 buckets (Colt Ryan), and
next closest nationally was West Virginia’s
Kevin Jones with 255.
Sophomore’s Streak Reaches 34
Doug McDermott has scored in double-figures
in 34 straight games, CU’s longest stretch since
Vernon Moore’s streak of 46 straight games
from Jan. 30, 1984 to March 5, 1985.

over Southern Illinois. In school history, it
marked just the fourth time that multiple men
had five or more triples in the same game.
It first happened on Feb. 21, 1989 when Matt
Roggenburk and Todd Eisner did it vs.
Montana State. It’s also happened on Feb. 26,
2000 vs. Wichita State (Ryan Sears, Kyle
Korver), and Feb. 19, 2005 vs. Chattanooga
(Kellen Miliner, Nate Funk) in a BracketBusters
contest.
Blocking Behemoth
Gregory Echenique owns 109 career blocked
shots in a Creighton uniform, tied for sixth in
school history.
Echenique also owned 94 blocked shots in 39
games at Rutgers, giving him 203 rejections
overall as a collegian.

Long-Distance Streak Alive
Creighton has made at least one three-pointer in
a league-best 607 straight games since a 59-53
loss at Illinois State on Feb. 20, 1993. That’s the
longest active streak in the MVC, and longest
streak in Valley history.
Gibbs > Receiving
Though he’s not even his own team’s point
guard, Grant Gibbs is second in the MVC with
5.1 assists per game. He’s had six or more
assists in 15 different games this season.
No game has shown his importance more
than a Dec. 31 win at Wichita State. With Gibbs
in the game, Creighton outscored the Shockers
50-25, compared to being outscored 36-18 without him.
Creighton is 26-2 in its last 28 games when
one of its players has six or more assists in a
game, including a 21-1 mark this winter.

This Is, 20/20
Greg McDermott is the only coach in Creighton
history to post 20 or more wins in each of his first
two seasons. McDermott, who won 23 games
last 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 of
his last five years in the MVC.
The only other coaches to win 20 or more
games in five straight seasons while in the MVC
was Creighton’s Dana Altman (11 from 1998-99
to 2008-09), Bradley’s Chuck Orsborn (6 from
1956-57 to 1961-62) and Oklahoma State’s
Henry Iba (6 from 1943-44 to 1948-49).
McDermott is one of three active MVC coaches to start his Valley career with two straight 20win seasons, and first since Illinois State’s Tim
Jankovich did it his first three years (2007-10).
Southern Illinois’ Chris Lowery also began
his career with three-straight 20-win campaigns
from 2004-07.
McDermott’s 28 wins this season are his most
in 11 years as a Division I head coach.
Mind-Boggling Road Stats
Credit MVC PR guru Mike Kern with this doozy
of a road stat. Entering the postseason, two
MVC teams Creighton and Wichita State each
owned 10 true road wins. By comparison, the
only BCS-member school with more than eight
true road wins is Syracuse (9).

McDermott Up For An Oscar, Sort Of
Creighton forward Doug McDermott is among
20 players selected by the U.S. Basketball
Writers Association for its 2012 Oscar
Robertson Trophy Midseason Watch List.
Members of the association's board of directors chose the players to be included on the list
as contenders for the Oscar Robertson Trophy,
to be presented to the national player of the year
by its namesake in New Orleans at the
USBWA's College Basketball Awards Breakfast
on March 30.
McDermott ranks in the top-10 nationally in
scoring (23.2) and field goal percentage (.610)
for Creighton, which is 28-5. He's also a finalist
for the Naismith and Wooden Awards.
Kind of a Big Deal
Creighton played in 13 road games this season.
Ten of the 13 schools to host the Bluejays set a
season-high in that venue for home attendance,
all but Tulsa, Evansville and Southern Illinois.

The Road Less Traveled
After going 6-21 in true road games the previous
two seasons, Creighton went 10-3 in true road
games this year. This year the Bluejays started
5-0 in league road games for the first time since
1942-43, when the program finished 5-0.
In 13 road games this season, Creighton is
shooting an impressive 49.8 percent from the
floor.
Doug McDermott averaged 24.1 points and
8.1 rebounds per game in those 13 tilts, making
24-of-43 shots from three-point range (55.8 percent).
Road Warriors
Creighton went 10-3 in true road games this
season, with road wins at last year's Mountain
West champ (San Diego State), Conference
USA champ (UAB), MVC champ (Missouri
State), Conference-USA runner-up (Tulsa) and
MVC runner-up (Wichita State). CU has also
won at Bradley, Illinois State, Drake and defending MVC Tournament champ Indiana State.
This year marked the first time in program history the Bluejays had been 8-1 or better on the
road.
Creighton's 10 true road wins this season far
surpasses its total of six combined true road
wins over the previous two seasons.
Including this year, each of Creighton’s last
nine NCAA Tournament teams have won 10 or
more games away from home, and eight of
those teams had a winning record in true road
contests.
Entering the postseason, only six teams
nationally owned two true road wins vs teams
ranked in top-28 of the RPI; Creighton, New
Mexico, Ohio State, Michigan State, Duke and
Kansas.
Jays Reach 20 Wins, Again
Creighton reached the 20-win milestone for the
13th time in 14 years with a win vs. Bradley on
Jan. 28.
The win, which came on Jan. 28th, was the
earliest (by calendar) the team has ever won 20
games, just ahead of the 2002-03 squad (Feb.
4).

games for a 16th consecutive season.
On a national basis, the only other current
school with at least 16 straight years of 10 or
more league wins is Kansas (18), including this
season.
Cancer Awareness Raises $$$
Creighton raised more than $29,600 in an auction in conjunction with its Jan. 28 Creighton vs.
Cancer game vs. Bradley.
The Bluejays wore special-edition pink Nike
jerseys for the game, in addition to special
shooting shirts in warm-ups that honor those
affected by cancer.
Fans had the chance to bid on a jersey/shooting shirt for each player, with the highest bid
going for the #00 combination ($3,275). Six of
the jerseys went for $1,000 or more.
Droppin’ 30
Doug McDermott scored 33 points on March

Field Day
Creighton leads the nation in field goal percentage, and has had a better shooting percentage
in all 28 of its wins this year. The four times the
opposition has had a better field goal percentage, the Jays lost.
Overall, the team with a better field goal percentage has won 38 of CU’s last 39 games.
The only MVC team in history to lead the
nation in field goal percentage was Bradley in
1967-68 (.524), and the only MVC team in history to lead the nation in three-point percentage
was Illinois State in 2002-03 (.440).
Creighton is 18-0 this season when shooting
50 percent or better from the floor.
McDermott Scored 44
Sophomore Doug McDermott scored a careerbest 44 points in Creighton’s win at Bradley on
Jan. 7th. It was nine more than his previous
best, and included 31 points after halftime.
McDermott made his first 10 shots after halftime and was 18-of-23 for the game to tie the
record for field goals made by a Bradley opponent. His 18 field goals are one shy of the
Creighton record for field goals in a game, and
the most by a Bluejay since Benoit Benjamin in
1985.
McDermott’s 44 points were the most nationally by any sophomore since Akron’s Derrick
Tarver had 44 points vs. Wright State on Dec.
30, 2003.
Only four sophomores in MVC history have
ever scored more points in a league contest
than McDermott’s 44 points. Oscar Robertson
(Cincinnati) had two 50-point games, while other
players to do it once each were Indiana State’s
John S. Williams (47), Wichita State’s Dave
Stallworth (46) and Indiana State’s Larry Bird
(45).
Rebounding Ruler
Doug McDermott enters the NCAA Tournament
ranked second in the MVC with 8.2 rebounds
per game, just 1.4 behind Illinois State’s Jackie
Carmichael. The only Creighton player to ever
lead the MVC in rebounds per game was Bob
Harstad (9.4) in 1988-89.
No Bluejay has averaged more than 7.4
rebounds per game since 1993-94, when Nate
King averaged 9.0 rebounds per game. This
year, both McDermott and Gregory Echenique
(7.4) are within reach of that mark.
This year’s Creighton team is outrebounding
foes by 6.1 caroms per contest, the first time
since 1998-99 (+5.8) it’s had a rebound margin
of better than 4.0 per game.
The Avengers
Twelve different programs combined to hand
Creighton its 16 losses last season. While the
Jays are not scheduled to face Iowa State, BYU,
Oregon or Akron this year, they’ve done rather
well against the other eight teams to beat them
a year ago.
Against those eight teams (Northwestern,
Nebraska, Missouri State, Wichita State, Indiana
State, Northern Iowa, Bradley, Drake),
Creighton is 13-2 so far this season after going
a combined 5-11 last year vs. those same foes.
After Another Record
Last year Doug McDermott set an MVC freshman record with 581 points, and this season
he’s got 765.
McDermott is just the third player in MVC history with 500 or more points as both a freshman
and sophomore, joining Mitchell Anderson
(Bradley) and John S. Williams (Indiana State).
McDermott is the first player in Valley history
with 550 points or more as both as freshman
and sophomore.
In Creighton history, the only other players
with multiple seasons of 500 or more points are
Paul Silas (3), Bob Harstad (3), Rodney
Buford (3), Rick Apke (2), Bob Portman (2),
Chad Gallagher (2) and Nate Funk (2).
Winning The Close Ones
Creighton’s 66-65 win on Jan. 18th helps show
the difference between this year’s team and last
year’s squad.
Last year in Springfield, Creighton led nearly
the entire game before giving up a lay-up in the
final 15 seconds to lose, 67-66.
This year in Springfield, Creighton got a pair
of defensive stops in the final 10 seconds to
earn a 66-65 victory.
This year’s club is 6-1 in games decided by
three points or less, while last year’s team was
just 1-6 in such situations.
Near The Top Of His Class
Sophomore Doug McDermott owns 1,346
career points in his young career. According to
research by Creighton Sports Information’s
office and STATS Inc., that leads all active
sophomores through games of March 11th.

Really Dynamic Duo
It’s hard to fathom, but two of the best sophomores nationally were high school teammates at
Ames (Iowa) High School two years ago.
Creighton’s Doug McDermott and North
Carolina phenom Harrison Barnes won a pair
of state titles for a Ames High School team that
posted undefeated campaigns in both 2008-09
(26-0) and 2009-10 (27-0) to become Iowa’s first
4A team to repeat as undefeated state champs.
Both McDermott and Barnes are expected to
receive consideration for first-team All-America
status from the Associated Press. In the history
of the AP All-America teams (which began in
1947-48), the only high school teammates to be
named first-team All-America in the same season are former Columbus (Ohio) East High
School products Dwight “Bo” Lamar
(Louisiana-Lafayette) and Ed Ratleff (Long
Beach State) in 1971-72.
Here’s a look at the two sophomores and how
they’ve performed in college (through 3/13):

Shades of 2003?
Creighton’s 28-5 start is reminding some fans of
the program’s 2002-03 squad that finished 29-5
and spent most of the season in the national
rankings.
Here’s how the 2011-12 club compares to the

Chasing History
Doug McDermott leads the MVC in scoring
(23.2 ppg.), is second in three-point percentage
(.495) and rebounding (8.2 rpg.) and third in field
goal percentage (.610).
The last player to lead the MVC in scoring
and rebounding in the same season is Southern
Illinois legend Ashraf Amaya in 1991-92.
No player has ever led the MVC in field goal
percentage and three-point percentage in the
same season.
Milestone Game Went Well
The Feb. 1 win vs. Illinois State was Creighton’s
150th game at CenturyLink Center Omaha. The
Jays are now 130-23 at the nine-year old facility, which includes a 65-16 mark in MVC games
and a 30-9 record in games decided by five
points or less.
Creighton has averaged 14,453 fans in the
153 games, including 18 crowds of 17,000 or
more.
Taking Advantage of Charity
Gregory Echenique began the season 7-of-25
at the free-throw line, a dreadful 36 percent.
Since then, however, he’s 72-for-92 from the
line, good for 78.3 percent. In league play, he
shot 60-for-74, 81.1 percent.
Since December 1st, Echenique is 32-of-37
on the road from the charity stripe, 86.5 percent.
What’s Your Twenty?
Creighton has been .500 or better after 20
games in each of the last 17 seasons, including
this season.
Even more impressive, Creighton has won 13
of its first 20 games in 14 of the last 15 seasons.

Over .500, Again
Creighton has been better than .500 in either the
first or second-half of the league season in 33
straight trips through the league, including both
halves this year.
Creighton’s 32 consecutive halves above
.500 in league play is easily the Valley’s longest
active streak, with Wichita State next closest at
eight.
Here’s how Creighton’s teams have fared in
the various halves of the MVC season since
1995-96. Notably, Creighton was 8-1 at the midway mark for the first time since 2002-03.

Jays Win 10 Home Games, Again
With a Jan. 21 win vs. Indiana State, Creighton
has now won 10 or more home games in 16
straight seasons.
The current streak extends a school-record,
four more than the previous standard of 12
straight seasons from the 1969-70 season to the
1980-81 campaign with 10 or more home wins.
Historically After 12 MVC Games
Creighton was 11-1 in the MVC after the 12th
game of the league slate.
This is the 17th straight season that
Creighton has had a league record of .500 or
better after 12 games, and each of those campaigns the Jays would also go .500 or better in
its final six contests as well.

Shooting Stars
Creighton continues to lead the country in field
goal percentage, making an incredible 50.9 percent from the field.
The Bluejays have shot 55 percent or better
13 times overall this season.
In Creighton’s last 39 games dating to late
last season, it has shot 40 percent or better in all
but two games.
Creighton, which is also third in the country in
three-point percentage, is seeking to join
Northern Arizona (in 1998-99) as the only teams
in NCAA history to lead the nation in three-point
percentage and field goal percentage in the
same season.
McManus To The Hall
Former Creighton men’s basketball coach John
J. “Red” McManus will be inducted into the
Omaha Sports Hall of Fame on April 19th.
McManus went 138-118 as head coach of
Creighton from 1959-69, and mentored AllAmericans Paul Silas and Bob Portman,
among others. He remains close to the program
to this day and regularly attends home games
and the State Farm MVC Tournament.
Also joining the Hall of Fame will be Lyell
Bremser, Al Caniglia, Tom Jaworski, Kelly
Lindsay, Erick Strickland and the 1982
Omaha Westside football team.
Midseason Honors
Doug McDermott was named Midseason
National Player of the Year by four of the most
prominent college basketball experts nationwide. He earned the nod from Mike DeCourcy
of The Sporting News, as well as from ESPN
experts Jay Bilas, Len Elmore and Doug
Gottlieb.
Chairman of the Board
Creighton center Gregory Echenique has 10 or
more rebounds in six of Creighton’s last 19
games, and averaged 8.5 boards in that span.
Creighton is 10-1 all-time when Echenique
collects 10 or more rebounds and 12-1 when he
scores 15 or more points.
Creighton is also 17-3 this season and 27-9 in
his career when he blocks two shots or more.
Double-Digit Deficits, No Problem
Creighton overcame an early 12-2 deficit to beat
Drake on March 2nd, the fifth time this year it’s
won a game after previously trailing by doubledigits.
Creighton also won after trailing by 17 at San
Diego State and by 12 at Wichita State, a home
game vs. UNI when down by 11, a home game
after being down 14 to Evansville, and a neutral
game after trailing by 10 to Drake.
Creighton has fallen behind by 10 points or
more 35 times in CenturyLink Center Omaha
history. Incredibly, Creighton has rallied to win
21 of those contests.

A Sprint to 1,000 Points
Doug McDermott needed just 57 career games
to surpass 1,000 career points, doing so in a
Jan. 15th win vs. Southern Illinois. He’s the second Creighton player this season to surpass the
milestone, as Antoine Young reached that feat
on Dec. 10 at Saint Joseph’s.
Young & McDermott are the first Bluejay
teammates to go over 1,000 in the same season
since Ryan Sears & Ben Walker in the Jays’
2000-01 campaign.
While it’s unknown how many games it’s
taken every player in school history to get to
1,000 points, it is known that Paul Silas needed
47 games to reach 1,000.
Before McDermott, the only previous players
in Creighton history to score 1,000 points or
more in their first two seasons were Bob
Portman (1,195), Paul Silas (1,124), Rod
Mason (1,023) and Rodney Buford (1,010).
Here’s a look at how many games it took

points.

Gibbs Earns Newcomer Honor, Again
Grant Gibbs was named the MVC Newcomer of
the Week for the third time this season on Jan.
15, and second straight week.
Gibbs helped Creighton to an unbeaten week,
scoring in double-figures in all three games. He
averaged 10.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.0
assists per game.
His week was highlighted by his first career
double-double, as he had 10 assists and tied a
career-best with 12 points in a win at Illinois
State on Jan. 13th.
Jays Duo Earn MVC Weekly Awards
Doug McDermott was named MVC Player of
the Week for the fourth time this season on Jan.
9th after a week that saw him average 34.0
points and 7.5 rebounds per game in two wins.
McDermott had 24 points on his 20th birthday
on Jan. 3 in a win vs. Drake. He then had a
career-high 44 points in a victory at Bradley,
making 18-of-23 shots from the floor in a ninepoint win. His 44 points are sixth-most in CU history, the most in the nation this year, and the
most nationwide by any sophomore since 2003.
McDermott also earned the National Jesuit
Basketball Spotlight Player of the Week for the
second time in three weeks.
In addition, Grant Gibbs was also named
MVC Newcomer of the Week. Gibbs averaged
8.5 points, 5.5 assists and 4.5 rebounds a week
ago. He began his week with eight points, seven
rebounds and five assists in a 17-point win over
Drake. He then had nine points, six assists and
two rebounds at Bradley on Jan. 7th.
Healthy Half
As a team, Creighton made its first 11 field goals
to start the second half at Bradley on Jan. 9th,
not missing until a Grant Gibbs three-point try
went awry at the 10:44 mark.
For the game, Creighton shot 61.1 percent, its
best mark on the road since shooting 61.9 percent at Wichita State on Feb. 16, 2005.
Earlier this season Creighton made its first 13
field goal attempts of the game in a win vs.
Campbell.
Another Arena Record Falls
On Dec. 19, Doug McDermott’s 35 points at
Tulsa tied a Reynolds Center record for an
opponent at the 13-year old facility. On Jan. 7th
McDermott claimed another house record, as
his 44 points were a Carver Arena mark for an
opponent in the 30-year old building.
In fact only two players have ever scored
more against Bradley than McDermott’s
44…Detroit’s Archie Tullos (49) in 1988 and
Cincinnati’s Oscar Robertson (46) in 1960.
McDermott’s 44 points were the most in Peoria
by a Bradley opponent since The Big O, and the
most ever in a win over Bradley.
Speaking of arena records, Creighton’s 28
assists (on 33 baskets) were the most by a
Bradley opponent at Carver Arena. An incredible 17 of McDermott’s 18 field goals were assisted, as four different players (Grant Gibbs,
Jahenns Manigat, Antoine Young, Josh
Jones) had three or more assists to McDermott
alone.
Of McDermott’s 18 baskets, he used the
backboard in 11 of them and used his left hand
for five hoops.
Fresh 15
Doug McDermott has scored 15 or more points
in 17 different halves this season, including 31 in
the second half at Bradley on Jan. 9th. The
Bluejays have gone on to win each contest in
which he’s scored 15 or more in any half.
Below is the most points in any half by a
Bluejay individual this year:

Pick Your Poison
Creighton is third in the nation from beyond the
arc, hitting 42.5 percent of its shots from threepoint range.
The Bluejays have been remarkably consistent, making 40 percent or better from threepoint range in 23-of-33 games to date. By comparison, CU made 40 percent or better from
deep in just 15-of-39 contests a year ago.
Not Half Bad
Creighton trailed by 39-31 at halftime on Dec. 31
before outscoring Wichita State 37-22 in the
second half and pull out a seven-point road win.
Under second-year head coach Greg
McDermott, the Bluejays are 42-1 when
outscoring their foe after halftime.
Young Follows His Elders
Senior point guard Antoine Young is one of
three players in Creighton history with more than
1,000 points and 400 career assists. Here’s a

Passing Fancy
Grant Gibbs had 10 assists at Tulsa on Dec. 19,
then added 12 helpers vs. Northwestern three
days later. In the win over Northwestern, Gibbs’
12 assists led to 32 points by his Creighton
teammates.
His 12 assists were a CenturyLink Center
Omaha single-game record, rank tied for sixthmost in a game in Creighton history for all
venues, and most since Tyler McKinney also
had 12 on Dec. 21, 2002.
Gibbs became the first Bluejay with consecutive games of 10 or more assists since Duan
Cole did it on Jan. 27 & 30, 1990.
Sophomore Snipers
Three sophomores on the 2011-12 Creighton
basketball team rank among the most nine most
accurate shooters in school history in threepoint field goal percentage.
Doug McDermott is third on that list at 44.8
percent for his career, just behind MVC Players
of the Year Booker Woodfox (45.5%) and Kyle
Korver (45.3%) and fifth on Creighton’s all-time
chart. Ethan Wragge is ninth on the list at 41.4
percent, while Jahenns Manigat (43.2 percent)
is in sixth place.

Jones’ing For MVC Play
Josh Jones opened MVC play with 11 points off
the bench on Dec. 28 vs. Missouri State, making
3-of-4 three-point shots. Jones then pumped in
eight points in the second half of Creighton’s win
at Wichita State.
Picking up his production for Valley games is
nothing new for the junior from Omaha Central.
In his career, he’s shot 12-of-55 (21.8 percent)
from three-point range prior to MVC play, a figure that improves drastically to 53-of-127 (41.7
percent) in league action.
Unbelievably, Creighton had hosted just one
Big Ten team since 1973 (Iowa in 1999) before
this year’s slate.
with 10 different games of 25 or more points in
the same year since Bob Harstad had 15
games like that in 1989-90.
Weekly Honors Roll In
Grant Gibbs and Doug McDermott were both
honored on Dec. 26th by the MVC for their work
in wins vs. Tulsa and Northwestern.
Gibbs was named MVC Newcomer of the
Week after averaging 11.0 assists, 7.5 rebounds
and 6.0 points per game. With 10 assists at
Tulsa and 12 assists vs. Northwestern, he
became the first Bluejay since 1990 with consecutive games of 10 or more assists.
McDermott was named MVC Player of the
Week after averaging 31.0 points, 6.0 rebounds
and 2.5 assists per game. He scored a careerhigh 35 points in the win at Tulsa and scored 27
points in 28 minutes vs. Northwestern.
McDermott also earned National Player of the
Week accolades from the USBWA, Dick Vitale,
and Andy Katz of ESPN.com for his performance.
Doug vs. Others After 72 Games
Doug McDermott has started all 72 games of
his career and enters Arch Madness with 1,346
career points (18.7 ppg.) and 549 career
rebounds (7.6 rpg.).
By comparison, Creighton’s all-time leading
scorer, Rodney Buford, had 1,256 career
points after 72 games. However, Buford had
“just” 1,010 points at the end of his sophomore
season (59 games, 17.1 ppg.).
McDermott also compares favorably to legendary big men Bob Harstad and Chad
Gallagher at this point. Harstad finished his
career ranked second in CU history with 2,110
career points and 1,126 rebounds, while
Gallagher is third with 1,983 points and fifth with
891 rebounds.
How To Stop Him?
Leave it to Doug McDermott’s father/coach and
his roommate to explain the task of trying to slow
him down.
"He's difficult to stop in that he scores a lot of
different ways," his coach and father Greg
McDermott said. "It's not just on the block, it's
not just from the 3-point line, he can slash and
score as well. In a lot of his post-up opportunities, the ball is gone before you can even think
about double-teaming him. He's difficult to guard
because of his versatility, and he has a lot of
people scratching their heads trying to stop him.
And the good news for us is that he's doing it
within the framework of our offense and he's not
taken bad shots."
"Doug's ability to score from just about anywhere on the floor is what amazes me," guard
Jahenns Manigat said. "He has amazing hands
and he finishes well. And when he steps back
and knocks down a 3, that's when you can see
the full extent of his game.”
Scoring In Numbers
Doug McDermott owns 765 points through 33
games, an average of 23.2 per contest that
ranks him third nationally in scoring.
McDermott’s 23.2 points per game would rank
fourth-most in CU single-season history and
would be the most since Bob Portman averaged 26.2 points per game in 1968-69.
Portman, who finished fifth nationally in scoring in 1967-68 (29.5 ppg.), is the only Bluejay to
ever rank in the top-10 of the year-end scoring
leaders.
McDermott’s 23.2 points per game would
make him the first MVC player over 20 points
per game since Illinois State’s Tarise Bryson
(2000-01) and the most by a MVC player since
Bradley’s Curtis Stuckey (25.1 ppg.) in 199091. Bryson is the only MVC player since 1989 to
rank in the top-five nationally in scoring.
No Bluejay has averaged more than 20 points
per game since Bob Harstad’s 22.2 average in
1989-90.
Basketball Royalty
Creighton is the only team in the nation with
three non-conference wins vs. the Big Ten this
season.
This is the first time that Creighton has defeated three Big Ten teams in the same season in
program history.
In three games against Big Ten competition
this year, Doug McDermott averaged 25.3
points, 8.7 rebounds while shooting 29-44 from
the floor (65.9 percent) and 7-of-11 from downtown (63.6 percent).
B1G Ten, Big Time
Creighton went 3-0 against the Big Ten this winter, including home wins vs. both Northwestern
and Nebraska. This is the first year Creighton
has hosted two games against Big Ten competition in the same season since 1936-37.

Triple-Double Threat?
Creighton has never had a player with a traditional point-rebound-assist triple-double, but
Grant Gibbs is getting closer.
The junior guard had nine points, seven
rebounds and 10 assists on Dec. 19 at Tulsa. He
also had 12 points, 10 assists and seven
rebounds on Jan. 13 at Illinois State.
Gibbs is the first player since James Farr in
1988-89 to have single-game highs of 10 or
more points, 10 or more assists and nine or
more rebounds in the same season.
Creighton owns three triple-doubles in school
history, all by Benoit Benjamin in 1985. All
three were of the point-rebound-blocked shot
variety.
All I Wanted For Christmas Is 10 Wins
Creighton got to the Christmas break with a 101 record. In 94 seasons of basketball, this was
just the third campaign that the Jays reached 10
wins before Christmas.
The Jays were 10-1 in 1963-64 and 10-2 in
2008-09 heading into Christmas.
Fountains of Doug
Doug McDermott owns 20 or more points 23
times this season and 26 of his last 39 games
overall dating to late last season.
McDermott owns two different stretches
where he’s scored 25 points or more in four
straight games this year. He did it from Nov. 1630 earlier this year, as well as Dec. 10-22. The
last Bluejay with five consecutive games of 25 or
more was Benoit Benjamin, who did it in five
straight games (Jan. 17-Feb. 2, 1985), a span in
which he had 43, 45, 31, 26 and 29 points.
McDermott, who owns 15 different games of
25 points or more this season, is the first Bluejay
Don’t Take Our Word For It
Tulsa coach Doug Wojcik was similarly
impressed after Doug McDermott scored a
career-high 35 on Dec. 19. Here’s an excerpt of
Wojcik’s post-game opening statement:
“I tell you what, that was one impressive performance by Doug McDermott. I thought the
guy single-handedly broke the spirit of my team.
In particular, my three seniors and sophomore
post players. He was terrific...My goodness, it
really surprised us how good McDermott was,
particularly in the post against size, how good
his strength is, how good his stamina is, how
good his feet are, and how good of hands he
has. He was very impressive to me, tonight.”
Dish Network
Grant Gibbs turned in an unusual stat line in a
Dec. 19 victory over Houston Baptist. The junior
guard had career-highs with eight assists and
four steals, but did not attempt a shot from the
field in 19 minutes of play.
He’s the only Bluejay in more than 25 years to
have eight or more assists in a game in which he
did not attempt a field goal.
Gibbs continued to play the role of distributor
on Dec. 19 at Tulsa, dishing a career-high 10
assists.
One game later vs. Northwestern on Dec. 22,
Gibbs had 12 assists and eight rebounds, but
was 0-for-2 from the field.
Piling Up The Points, and Wins
Creighton has won 54 straight games when
scoring 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.
In home games only, Creighton has won 89
straight games when scoring 70 or more points
since a Feb. 5, 2005 loss to Missouri State.
Ball Control Offense
Creighton ranked eighth nationally with a 1.46
assist/turnover ratio, and a big portion of that is
due to its starting backcourt.
Creighton’s starting guard trio of Antoine
Young (147 A, 61 TO), Jahenns Manigat
(51/29) and Grant Gibbs (168/71) have combined for 366 assists and 161 turnovers, good
for a collective 2.27 assist/turnover ratio.
Reserve guards Avery Dingman (6/8), Josh
Jones (61/31), Austin Chatman (64/40) and
Taylor Stormberg (4/0) have combined for 135
assists against just 79 turnovers.
McDermott’s 20/10 Vision
Earlier this season Doug McDermott became
the first Bluejay with four straight double-doubles since Nate King had four in a row during
the 1993-94 campaign.
No Bluejay has owned five straight doubledoubles since Benoit Benjamin had 28 in a row
in the 1984-85 campaign.
2,000,000 Fan March
Creighton has attracted 2,21,350 fans all-time in
153 games held at CenturyLink Center Omaha,
good for an average of 14,453.
Creighton’s 1,000,000th fan at CenturyLink
Center Omaha was honored on Jan. 19, 2008,
in CU’s 74th game at the facility. That fan, Jared
Stickrod, was then a 10-year old from Omaha
who received numerous prizes, including an
autographed basketball and season tickets for
In Creighton’s home game on Dec. 4 vs.
Nebraska, Creighton honored Omaha native
Sam King as the 2,000,000th fan at
CenturyLink Center Omaha. Among his prize
package is four season tickets for 2012-13.
Call It A Comeback
Creighton trailed 31-14 early on at San Diego
State on Nov. 30 before pulling off a comeback
for the ages.
Below is a list of Creighton’s 10 comebacks
from down 15 points or more since 2000.
Notably, Creighton’s comeback at SDSU was
CU’s largest away from home in that time.

Non-Conference Home Success
Creighton has won 38 straight regular-season
non-conference home games against unranked
teams, a streak it will attempt to extend next
season.
Creighton’s last regular-season home loss to
a non-conference unranked foe came on Feb.
17, 2007, when Drexel upended the Jays. That
game was also part of the BracketBusters
series.
Bahamas Boost
Creighton got a head start to the 2011-12 season thanks to a four-game exhibition tour of the
Bahamas in mid-August. The trip, which included CU’s four scholarship freshmen, also included 10 valuable practices in the off-season.
Creighton won all four games on its tour by
double-digits, outscoring foes by an average of
27.5 points per game.
Doug McDermott led the Jays in scoring
(24.3 ppg.), Will Artino led the team in rebounding (11.0 rpg.), Geoff Groselle topped the
squad with 10 blocked shots, and Austin
Chatman had a team-best 30 assists.
Each of Creighton’s last three teams to take a
foreign trip have started the season strong. The
2007-08 and 2003-04 teams both went to
Vancouver, with CU’s 2007-08 team starting the
regular-season 5-0, and the ‘03-04 squad opening 12-0. The Jays also toured Europe in the
spring of 1998, with CU opening 6-0 to begin the
1998-99 campaign.
This year’s team, which went to the Bahamas
in August, started 7-0.
Red Hot Night
Creighton scorched the CenturyLink Center
Omaha nets on Nov. 25th in its 104-81 win vs.
Campbell.
The Jays made their first 13 field goal
attempts from the floor during a dizzying display
that included four three-pointers and two other
traditional three-point plays. The scoring frenzy
helped CU to a 32-14 lead after nine minutes
and well on their way to another double-digit
win.
For the evening, Creighton shot a schoolrecord (at the time) 70.4 percent on the night,
the ninth-best mark in MVC history. Creighton’s
previous best shooting night came on Feb. 3,
2010, when CU made 66.7 percent (28-of-42) to
beat Evansville.
Army of Iowans
Every Creighton team since 1988-89 has had at
least one Iowa native, and this season is no
exception.
Creighton has three players from Iowa on this
season’s team, continuing a long trend of relying
on some of the Hawkeye State’s top preps. CU’s
native Iowans this season includes junior Grant
Gibbs (Marion), sophomore Doug McDermott
(Ames) and redshirt freshman Will Artino
(Waukee).
Other past notable Iowans include Kyle
Korver and Pierce Hibma (Pella), Ryan Sears
(Ankeny),
Brody Deren
(Harlan), Tyler
McKinney (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 a
Feb. 5, 1994 win against Wichita State.
Nearly A Point A Minute
A year ago at this time, Doug McDermott was
still sneaking up on people as a baby-faced
freshman. But after a record-setting freshman
year and preseason acclaim on the Wooden and
Naismith Award lists this fall, he’s become priority number one on the opponent’s scouting
reports.
Despite the extra attention paid to him, he’s
scored almost a point per minute in 38 games in
a Bluejay uniform this season. If you include four
exhibition games in the Bahamas (97 points, 84
minutes), an exhibition win over Rockhurst (19
points, 22 minutes) and 33 regular-season contests (765 points, 1045 minutes), he’s scored
881 points in 1,151 minutes.
According to stats through March 11th on
bbstate.com, McDermott’s 29.3 points per 40
minutes lead the country, just ahead of Reggie
Hamilton’s (Oakland) 28.8 points per 40 minutes.
Productive Night
Doug McDermott had 25 points in just 18 minutes of work on Dec. 19 vs. Houston Baptist.
He became just the second Bluejay since
1985 to score 20 or more points in a game in
which he played fewer than 20 minutes.
Ethan Wragge, McDermott’s sophomore
teammate, has done it twice. He did it against
Xavier 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 had
scored 20 or more points in less than 20 minutes
since Vernon Moore put up 21 points in 19 minutes against Nebraska-Kearney on Nov. 24,
1984.
McDermott On Preseason Lists
Sophomore forward Doug McDermott is one of
50 players nationwide named to the 2011-12
John R. Wooden Award Preseason Top 50 list,
as well as the Naismith preseason watch list. He
was the only MVC player honored on either list.
McDermott is the first player from Creighton
named to a Wooden Award list since the spring
of 2003, when Kyle Korver was one of 22 finalists for the award. However, Korver never
received preseason acclaim in his career from
the Wooden Award voters.
McDermott is Creighton’s first player on the
preseason Naismith list since Nate Funk prior to
All-Around Doug
Doug McDermott finished his remarkable freshman season with 581 points, 280 rebounds and
47 three-point baskets last year.
According to research by STATS Inc., the last
two freshmen to attain 525 points, 270 rebounds
and 40 three-pointers in a season were überfreshmen Kevin Durant (Texas) in 2006-07 and
Carmelo Anthony (Syracuse) in 2002-03.
The previous two men before them to do so,
Quentin Richardson (1998-99 at DePaul) and
Eddie Griffin (2000-01 at Seton Hall), like
Durant and Anthony, were also named the
National Freshman of the Year.
Below is the list, compiled by STATS Inc., of
all 15 Division I players since 1996-97 to have
McDermott’s levels of at least 581 points, 280
rebounds and 47 three-pointers in one season:

Father/Son Duo
Doug McDermott is the only player in Creighton
men’s basketball history to play for his father,
head coach Greg McDermott. The previous
closest relationship between a player/coach had
been when Rick Apke (1974-78) played for his
older brother, head coach Tom Apke (1974-81).
Other known father/son player/head coach
duos this winter include Ray/Ray McCallum Jr.
(Detroit), Jim/Tyler Les (UC Davis), Ernie/Trey
Ziegler (Central Michigan), Louis/Chauncey
Orr (Bowling Green), Dave/Jordan Boots
(South Dakota) and Jim/Billy Molinari
(Western Illinois).
Tournament Champs
Creighton went 4-0 to win the Dale Howard
Classic, its fourth-ever tournament title in a regular-season event. The Jays also claimed titles
in the Guardians Classic in both 2002 and 2004
and the Las Vegas Classic crown in 2008.
Creighton has also won a record 10 MVC
Tournament titles.
Preseason MVC Poll
Creighton was picked to win the Missouri Valley
Conference in the preseason poll of league
coaches, SID’s and media. The Bluejays earned
29-of-40 first-place votes and 389 points overall.
Wichita State was second with 350 points and
seven first-place votes, while Indiana State was
third with 331 points and got four first-place
votes.
Northern Iowa (245) and Evansville (234)
rounded out the upper half of the league.
In sixth was defending regular-season champ
Missouri State (216), where it was followed by
Drake (159), Illinois State (111), Southern Illinois
(90) and Bradley (75).
Creighton sophomore Doug McDermott is
one of five men on the preseason all-MVC team.
He’s joined on the team by Wichita State’s
Toure’ Murry, Missouri State’s Kyle Weems,
Indiana State’s Jake Odum and Evansville’s
Colt Ryan. Weems was also named Preseason
MVC Player of the Year.
Consistent Challengers
Including this season, 10 of Creighton’s last 15
teams have finished either first or second in The
Valley’s regular-season race. Two of the five that
didn’t won the MVC Tournament.
The Bluejays won the MVC in 2000-01 and
tied for the title in 2001-02 and 2008-09. CU was
second in the MVC in 1997-98, 2006-07 and
2011-12, tied for second in the MVC in 1998-99,
2003-04 and 2005-06, and finished tied for third
in 2004-05. The 1999-00 club was fourth in the
MVC, but won the MVC Tournament, and last
year’s club tied for fourth place.

I Know What You Did Last Summer
Besides a trip to the Bahamas, two Creighton
players stayed busy competing internationally
this summer.
Doug McDermott played for Team USA at
the U19 World Championships, which were held
in Riga, Latvia. McDermott started every game
for coach Paul Hewitt’s team and was third on
the club in both points (11.3) and rebounds (6.1)
per game, while topping the squad with 13
three-point baskets. Despite a 7-2 record and
wins over the eventual gold and silver medalist
teams, his team finished fifth overall after being
upset by Russia in the quarterfinal round.
Gregory Echenique played for coach Eric
Musselman on the Venezuelan National Team,
alongside the likes of former Maryland star and
current Memphis Grizzlies guard Greivis
Vasquez. In head-to-head battles against NBA
veterans such as Luis Scola (Argentina), Al
Horford (Dominican Republic), Joel Anthony
(Canada) and Andres Nocioni (Argentina),
Echenique averaged 6.1 points and 5.1
rebounds in eight games while helping
Venezuela to fifth place at the FIBA Americas
Tournament in Argentina. Venezuela’s success
means it will host a 12-team Olympic qualifier
next July, of which the top three teams will make
the 2012 Olympics in London.
Super Seven
Creighton’s win vs. Nebraska on Dec. 4th was
the Jays seventh straight this season. The
Bluejays have now had at least one five-game
win streak in 14 of the last 15 seasons.
Since 1988-89, the Bluejays have made the
NCAA’s, NIT or CBI all 17 times (including this
year) they’ve had a five-game winning streak in
a season, but missed the NCAA/NIT/CBI all
seven times they haven’t.
CenturyLink Center Omaha Success
Creighton has played 153 regular and postseason contests at CenturyLink Center Omaha alltime in nine seasons at the facility.
The Bluejays own an 130-23 (.850) record alltime at the facility, and have never lost there on
a Thursday or Friday.
Creighton has outscored its opponents
11,433-9,715 in games at CenturyLink Center
Omaha, an average margin of 11.2 points per
game. Creighton has led wire-to-wire 36 different times, including seven times this season.
Quick Starts Key To Playing in Postseason
Creighton has started off 3-0 (or better) in 11 of
the previous 13 seasons, something it did again
this year. Each of Creighton’s last 13 3-0 starts
(including this year) have been culminated in a
postseason tournament appearance at the end
of the year.
The Godfather Strikes Again
Ross Ferrarini earned the CenturyLink Center
Omaha crowd free Godfather’s Pizza with a
three-pointer in the waning seconds against
Indiana State on Jan. 21st.
It’s the second time in his 17 career home
games that he’s scored the 75th point. Last year
he hit a three-pointer with 12 seconds left to
close CU’s scoring in a 75-59 home win over
Illinois State win, one reason his teammates
have dubbed him “The Godfather”.
Creighton has scored enough points for pizza
(75 since 2006-07; 70 from 2003-06) in 84 of
153 all-time games at CenturyLink Center
Omaha. Only 10 men have scored the ‘pizza
point’ more than Ferrarini’s two occasions, a list
led by Johnny Mathies. Mathies did it 10 times.

Academically Tops In The MVC Too
For the seventh time in the nine-year existence
of the award, Creighton University has been recognized with the 2010-11 MVC All-Academic
Award. Bluejay student-athletes posted a 3.33
cumulative grade-point average over the 201011 academic calendar. Creighton previously
shared the award in 2003-04, and were the outright winners in 2004-05, 2006-07, 2007-08,
2008-09 and 2009-10.
Creighton had three men’s basketball players
earn Dean’s List (3.50 GPA or better) accolades
last year; Kaleb Korver, Derek Sebastian and
Taylor Stormberg.
Last Season Recap
Creighton finished 23-16 on the season, winning
a program-record four postseason games
before falling in the best-of-three championship
series in the College Basketball Invitational.
Creighton’s 10-8 league mark was good for a tie
for fourth place, the Jays 14th straight year of a
fourth-place finish or better.
Individually, Doug McDermott was a firstteam all-MVC pick and led the team in scoring
and rebounding during a standout freshman
season that also saw him sweep MVC
Freshman and Newcomer of the Year accolades. Antoine Young was named second-team
all-MVC, while both McDermott and Jahenns
Manigat were named to the MVC’s AllFreshman Team. In addition, Manigat was
named to the MVC’s All-Bench Team, and
Gregory Echenique was selected to the MVC’s
All-Newcomer and All-Defensive Team.
Shuttle Service Provided Again
Chief Bus will provide complimentary shuttle
service from the Creighton University campus to
CenturyLink Center Omaha for all men’s basketball home games this season. The service is
available to all fans, not just Creighton students.
The shuttle will start 75 minutes before tip-off
and shuttles will continue to operate the route
during the game. The three designated stops for
pick-up around the CU campus are: 24th &
California (nearside/southbound); 20th & Cass
(nearside/eastbound) and at Billy Blues Alumni
Grill (outside the Mike & Josie Harper Center in
the turnaround which is on the east side of the
building).
The shuttle will then go eastbound on Capitol
Avenue and then go north up 10th Street for
drop-off at the CenturyLink Center Omaha convention center entrance. The route is designed
for each shuttle driver to make a roundtrip every
15 minutes.
Following the game’s conclusion, the shuttle
will start at the CenturyLink Center Omaha convention center entrance on 10th Street and loop
the original route with the first of three stops at
24th & California Streets.

Game-by-Game Plus/Minus Chart
The 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 Josh Jones 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.

21-5 Overall, Independent
The Bluejays defeated Memphis State in the Midwest Regional preliminary game before
falling, 66-46, to defending and eventual national champion Cincinnati in Manhattan,
Kansas … Creighton rebounded to defeat Texas Tech, 63-61, in the regional consolation
game … Paul Silas earned Honorable Mention All-America honors from AP and UPI after
finishing second in the nation to Ohio State’s Jerry Lucas in rebounding … Silas’ 563
rebounds remains Creighton’s single-season record and his single-game total of 38
rebounds against Centenary still stands as the school record and, nationally, ties for
eighth all-time … Silas’ 22.5 rebounds per game is still the ninth-best single-season
rebounding average in NCAA history.
