Scouting CreightonCreighton returns nine lettermen and two starters from last year’s team that finished 25-10 and tied for third in the BIG EAST Conference with a 10-8 league record. The Bluejays reached the BIG EAST Tournament final for the second time in four seasons and advanced to their fourth NCAA Tournament in the past six seasons. Senior guard Marcus Foster was a unanimous First Team All-BIG EAST pick last season, 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. Junior guard Khyri Thomas (12.3 ppg., 5.8 rpg., 3.9 apg.) was named an Honorable Mention Preseason All-BIG EAST choice in October. Thomas was named BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year last season. The Bluejays feature a veteran team, with fifth-year seniors Toby Hegner, Tyler Clement and Manny Suarez and fourth-year juniors Ronnie Harrell Jr. and Kaleb Joseph all in the mix for play-ing time. Also back are sophomore guards Davion Mintz and Jordan Scurry and third-year sophomore for-ward Martin Krampelj. Three true freshman are also in the mix for play-ing time, guards Ty-Shon Alexander and Mitch Ballock, as well as center Jacob Epperson. Creighton lost a closed scrimmage at Minnesota by a 91-79 score before handling Nebraska-Omaha (96-67) and UNC Pembroke (93-70) in public exhibi-tion games.

Scouting YaleYale returns three of their top four scorers from last year’s team that finished 18-11. Leading the returners are junior guard Alex Copeland (12.9 ppg.), sophomore guard Miye Oni (12.9 ppg., 6.3 rpg.) and junior forward Blake Reynolds (9.4 ppg., 5.0 rpg.) Also returning is senior guard Makai Mason, who averaged 16.0 points and 3.8 assists per game for Yale’s 2015-16 team that defeated Baylor in the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament, but missed all of last year with a broken foot. The Bulldogs defeated Washington 98-90 in last year’s season-opener, and ended the season with a 71-59 loss to Princeton in the Ivy League Tournament championship game. Yale earned a league-high eight first-place votes in a preseason Ivy League media poll, and were picked second overall behind Harvard. The Series With YaleCreighton and Yale have never met.

Greg McDermott has never faced off against James Jones. McDermott has coached against teams in 31 of the current 32 conferences, but has never faced an Ivy League school until Friday’s tilt vs. Yale.

The CoachesGreg McDermott (Northern Iowa, 1988) is enter-ing his eighth season as head coach at Creighton. He is 166-82 with the Bluejays. McDermott has previously 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 446-277 entering his 24th season and is 315-213 entering his 17th Division I cam-paign. McDermott is assisted by Darian DeVries, Preston Murphy and Alan Huss. James Jones (Albany, 1986) owns a 272-249 record entering his 19th season as head coach at Yale. He was previously an assistant at Albany, Yale and Ohio. Jones led the Bulldogs to the 2016 Ivy League championship, then saw his team beat Baylor in the NCAA Tournament. He is assisted by Matt Kingsley, Justin Simon and Tobe Carberry.

Hall of Fame Classic HistoryThis is Creighton’s third appearance in the Hall of Fame Classic (2002, 2004), with both previous showings taking place when the event was known as the Guardians Classic. The Bluejays are a perfect 8-0 in the event all-time, and were the first team to win the event twice. Other teams to win the event twice include Missouri (2001, 2011), Texas (2005, 2009) and Kansas (2012, 2016). In 2002 Creighton defeated UT Arlington (106-50) and Furman (82-57) to start the final season at the Omaha Civic Auditorium before heading to the venerable Municipal Auditorium and defeat-ing IUPUI (99-52) and Notre Dame (80-75). Kyle Korver was honored as the MVP, whlie current Bluejay radio analyst Brody Deren also earned All-Tournament Team accolades. In 2004, Creighton beat Alcorn State (74-40) and Iona (68-62) in Omaha. The Jays then trekked to Kansas City and beat Missouri (78-54) and Ohio State (65-63 in overtime). Tyler McKinney was named Tournament MVP after setting an event record with 30 assists and draining a game-win-ning shot with 4.2 seconds left in the final.

Set Your Clocks Back, But Your Calendars UpFriday will mark the first regular-season contest played on November 10th in program history. The earliest starting date to the regular-season in program history came when CU topped Alcorn State 107-61 on November 8, 2013.

Tournament SuccessCreighton has had some great success in tourna-ment play in recent seasons, especially under Greg McDermott. In McDermott’s first seven seasons, CU is 22-4 in regular-season tournament action

Jays At Home Against Winless TeamsCreighton’s opponent on Friday, Yale, is 0-0 on the young season. The Bluejays have won 35 straight home games against teams that are winless enter-ing the night, winning those games by an average of 26.29 points. Fourteen of those wins came by 30 points or more, and only three were decided by single-digits. The streak dates to a 77-70 loss versus an 0-2 SMU team on Dec. 3, 1994. That game was Dana Altman’s home debut at Creighton. Creighton has also won 99 straight home games against teams that enter the night with a record of .500 or worse, a streak that dates to Feb. 25, 2002.

Friday Night LightsCreighton doesn’t play many Friday home games, but judging by its success, it might not be a bad idea for the future, as CU has won 23 straight Friday home games. Creighton has won every Friday home game it’s played since Dec. 12, 1975, back when Greg McDermott was 11 years old, and more than 23 years before current Bluejay freshman Ty-Shon Alexander, Mitch Ballock and Jacob Epperson were born. The Yale contest is Creighton’s first of two sched-uled home games for a Friday this season, joining the Dec. 15 game vs. Maryland Eastern Shore.

Season Opener HistoryIncluding last year’s 89-82 win vs. UMKC, Creighton owns a sparkling 84-15 record (.848) on opening day, including wins in 19 of its last 20 lid-lifters. Creighton has won 12 of its last 17 season-openers by 20 or more points. The Jays have outscored foes by an average of 85.94 to 60.18 in the last 17 openers.

Home Opener HistoryIncluding last year’s win over UMKC, Creighton is 88-11 (.889) in home openers all-time. Creighton has won 22 straight home openers since a Dec. 3, 1994 setback against SMU. That 22-game home opener win streak is a school record, one more than the 21 straight from 1946-66 that was part of a stretch between 1936-80 where the Bluejays went 41-2 in home openers.

Opening StatementsGreg McDermott has won each of the last 15 season openers he’s coached in, as he is 15-1 at the Division I level in season-openers. That includes double-digit victories in six of seven games on the Creighton sideline. Overall as a head coach, McDermott is 20-3 in season-opening games. That includes an impressive 99-point win (137-38) in his first game on the sidelines when he was at Wayne State.Date School Opponent Result1994-95 Wayne St. York W 137-381995-96 Wayne St. Nebraska-Omaha L 63-721996-97 Wayne St. St. Francis W 72-661997-98 Wayne St. Nebraska-Omaha W 78-761998-99 Wayne St. Mount Marty W 76-701999-00 Wayne St. South Dakota L 64-6611/17/00 NDSU Macalester W 81-6911/16/01 UNI vs. San Diego State L 57-7111/22/02 UNI at Montana W 77-7111/21/03 UNI Chicago State W 83-5911/21/04 UNI Wayne State W 84-6611/20/05 UNI Western Carolina W 68-4611/10/06 Iowa State UC Riverside W 69-6111/09/07 Iowa State Winston-Salem St. W 58-4411/14/08 Iowa State UC Davis W 61-5811/13/09 Iowa State Idaho State W 88-6811/12/10 Creighton Alabama State W 71-5711/11/11 Creighton N.

Hello, WorldCreighton has five players that could make their Bluejay debut on Friday night: Ty-Shon Alexander, Mitch Ballock, Jacob Epperson, Kaleb Joseph and Manny Suarez.

•indicates game started

Making An EntranceWith 19 points vs. UMKC last season, Marcus Foster became CU’s highest scorer in his debut since P’Allen Stinnett started his MVC Freshman of the Year campaign in 2007-08 with 23 points vs. DePaul. Creighton’s last freshmen to debut with 10 or more points came last season, when Justin Patton scored 12 points in 22 minutes. Patton also had eight rebounds in his debut. Patton and Martin Krampelj (8 in 2015) own the most boards in their freshmen debut for CU since Joe Dabbert (9) in 2000. Creighton’s best opening-day effort in history would have to be the way Hall of Famer Bob Harstad began his senior season. Harstad went 13-for-13 from the floor and 12-for-13 at the line to score 38 points against Texas-San Antonio on Nov. 30, 1990. Seven years ago, Doug McDermott burst onto the scene with 16 points and seven rebounds in his debut, becoming the first Bluejay freshman since at least 1973 to have 15 or more points and five or more rebounds in a season-opener. Below is a list of some of Creighton’s most famous players and how they performed in their regular-season debuts in a Bluejay uniform.Name, Yr. Pts. Reb. Ast. Stl. Min.

In 2015, Khyri Thomas became just the third true freshman to start since 1992-93 to start the opener, joining Bluejay legends Doug McDermott (2010-11) and Ryan Sears (1997-98). Both McDermott (145 games) and Sears (124) started every contest of their four-year Creighton careers, while Thomas has started 63 times of 69 appear-ances thus far in his career.

Suarez Doubles UpIn the two public exhibition games, Manny Suarez has per-40 minute averages of 37.2 points and 27.6 rebounds per game. Suarez had a double-double last Friday vs. UNC Pembroke with 13 points and 12 rebounds in just 18 minutes off the bench. One week earlier, Suarez provided 14 points and eight rebounds in 11 min-utes of work. In two seasons at Division II Adelphi University (Garden City, N.J.), Suarez averaged 15.1 points and 8.6 rebounds in 58 contests. He produced 20 double-doubles in that time, with single-game highs of 32 points and 17 rebounds. He had career per-40-minute averages of 24.0 points and 13.6 rebounds per game for the Panthers.

Playing With The LeadIncredibly, Creighton hasn’t trailed in its home opener in nine of the past 17 seasons (2000-01, 2002-03, 2003-04, 2004-05, 2005-06, 2009-10, 2011-12, 2014-15 and 2016-17). In 239 games at CenturyLink Center Omaha all-time, Creighton has not trailed in 67 of those contests, a staggering 28.0 percent of the time. Under Greg McDermott at home, Creighton is 100-24 and hasn’t trailed in 42 of those games.

November ReignCreighton is a perfect 54-0 all-time in regular-season home games that take place on or before Nov. 26th. Creighton has won 57 of its 58 regular-season November home games since 1990, falling only to Boise State in 2012. Overall, Creighton is 78-15 in regular-season November games at all sites since the start of the 1998-99 campaign. Creighton has also won 72 of its last 75 regu-lar-season non-conference home games against unranked foes since falling to Drexel on Feb. 17, 2007.

Big Margin Can Lead To Big ThingsCreighton’s 93-70 win in 2015 vs. Texas Southern was the third straight year the team has scored 90 or more points in a season-opener, while last year’s team was “held” to 89 points. Of Creighton’s 20 all-time NCAA Tournament teams, nine have scored 90 or more points in their season-opener.

Foster Fills It UpMarcus Foster finished last season with 10 or more points in each of his final 18 games. The streak is the longest by any Bluejay since Doug McDermott closed his career with 28 straight double-figure games from Dec. 3, 2013 to March 23, 2014. Foster scored seven points or more in all 35 games last season, finishing in double-figures in 33 of them.

Fan-Tazz-Tic Shooting StreakKhyri Thomas enters the 2017-18 season having made a three-pointer in each of his last 14 games. He’s the first Bluejay to sink a trey in 14 games in a row since Cole Huff in 14 straight from Jan. 7-Feb. 25, 2017. Rick Kreklow is the last Bluejay to sink a trey in 15 consecutive contests, doing so from Jan. 3-March 3, 2015. The last Bluejay with a trifecta in 16 straight games or more is Doug McDermott, who had a streak of 16 straight from Jan. 20-March 21, 2014. No Bluejay has made a three-pointer in 17 straight games or longer since Ethan Wragge’s streak of 23 in a row from Nov. 8, 2013 - Feb. 9, 2014.

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.

Silas To Enter College Hoops Hall of FameCreighton alum Paul Silas will be enshrined into the College Basketball Hall of Fame in Kansas City on November 19th. In addition to Silas, the elite class includes Wake Forest’s Tim Duncan, Winston-Salem State’s Cleo Hill, Indiana’s Scott May, Purdue’s Rick Mount, Gonzaga’s John Stockton 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 rebound-ing totals in Creighton history, with a high of 38 vs. Centenary on Feb. 19, 1962. He grabbed 33 rebounds (“only” the sixth-most of his career) on Dec. 21, 1963 against then-No. 6 UCLA. 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. Caleb Swanigan led all of college hoops

McDermott’s Exhibition HistoryGreg McDermott is 26-0 in exhibition games as a Division I head coach, including a 10-0 mark at UNI, a 7-0 record at Iowa State, and a 9-0 mark at Creighton. All but one of his triumphs has been by double-digits. Below is a list of McDermott’s exhibition games at the Division I level.

Recent Exhibition HistoryCreighton is 44-6 since 1987 in fall exhibition games thanks to 18 straight victories. The only team since 1994 to beat Creighton in an exhibition setting has been Global Sports, which eventually merged and changed their name to EA Sports and had three victories. A complete listing of Creighton’s exhibition games since 1987 can be found on page four of this release.

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.

Newcomer ReportFive players made their exhibition debut in

a Creighton uniform last Thursday in the win against Nebraska-Omaha as Ty-Shon Alexander, Mitch Ballock, Jacob Epperson, Kaleb Joseph and Manny Suarez combined for 27 points, 16 rebounds, nine assists, three steals and five blocks in a combined 67 minutes of action in Creighton’s 96-67 triumph over Nebraska-Omaha. Against UNC Pembroke, Alexander, Ballock, Joseph and Suarez (Epperson did not play) com-bined for 29 points, 17 rebounds, five assists, two steals and one blocked shot in 70 minutes of play. Damien Jefferson, who is redshirting due to his transfer from New Mexico, must sit out this season and did not suit up for either contest. Below is a look at the last five years and how Creighton’s newcomers have produced in their exhibition debuts:

Mr. VersatilityRonnie Harrell Jr. spent the majority of his playing time as a point guard in CU’s final two games last year, but look for the versatile junior to play the forward position this season. Harrell snared 13 rebounds in 21 minutes against Nebraska-Omaha last Thursday, including 10 rebounds in the second half alone. Last season Toby Hegner’s nine rebounds in the second half at Nebraska were the most for any half by one individual. In fact, no Bluejay had col-lected 10 or more rebounds in any half since Doug McDermott had 10 by halftime vs. Louisiana in the 2014 NCAA Tournament.

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).

#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 2,075 three-pointers and is sixth in league history with 43.1 percent marksmanship from three-point range (through November 6th). He set a single-season NBA mark that still stands with his 53.6 percent shooting from three-point range in 2009-10, and is the only player in league history to lead the NBA in three-point percentage four times. Korver is aver-aging 10.9 points per game this year and shooting 47.3 percent from downtown. Tolliver is averaging 7.4 points and 2.9 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 7.0 points and 2.3 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. In addition, May graduates Cole Huff and Isaiah Zierden were each selected in the 2017 NBA G League Draft on Oct. 21st. Huff is now on the Greensboro Swarm roster, while Zierden was cut.

Who Are These Guys?Creighton returns two regular starters (Marcus Foster and Khyri Thomas) from last year’s team that finished 25-10. Creighton’s roster contains players who made 72 starts a year ago (35 by Foster, 35 by Thomas and 12 by Davion Mintz), and a combined 147 career starts as Bluejays. That doesn’t factor in the 57 starts for Marcus Foster at Kansas State, the 30 starts at Syracuse for Kaleb Joseph, one start at Fordham and 57 starts at Adelphi for Manny Suarez, or six starts at New Mexico for Damien Jefferson. Eleven of Creighton’s last 12 teams to return 101 or fewer starts from the previous season still went on to reach the postseason.

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.

Shooting StarsCreighton ranked second in the nation in field goal percentage last year, connecting at a 50.5 percent clip. Only UCLA (52.1 percent) was better. Creighton also shot the ball well in league play, draining BIG EAST best 49.4 percent of its attempts, the best mark in league play since Creighton shot 49.9 percent in 2013-14, and the best mark by a non-Creighton team in BIG EAST action since Georgetown (.505) in 2006-07.

Eight Out Of 19 Tourney TitlesCreighton owns eight league tournament titles in the last 19 years. On a national basis, the only schools that can claim this are Gonzaga (15), Duke (11), Winthrop (10), Kentucky (9), Creighton (8), Kansas (8) and New Mexico State (8).

Full HouseCreighton averaged 17,413 fans per home game last season, fifth-best nationally. That figure would rank 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.

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 opening its 15th season.

Release, Rotation, Splash, RepeatCreighton has made at least one three-pointer in 783 straight games since a 59-53 loss at Illinois State on Feb. 20, 1993. The streak was the nation’s 20th-longest active streak through the end of the 2016-17 season. Creighton’s last win without making a three-point basket came on March 3, 1991 when the Jays went 0-for-2 from three-point range in a 71-66 win over Southern Illinois in the championship game of the MVC Tournament. Below is a list of the nation’s longest active three-point streaks entering 2017-18.

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. Greg McDermott is 44-2 as a Division I head coach when his teams score 90 or more points, including a 38-2 mark on the Creighton sideline. In fact, McDermott’s team scored 90 or more points eight times (in 35 games) last season, com-pared to six total times in 280 games on the side-line in nine years at Northern Iowa and Iowa State. Creighton is 57-2 all-time when scoring 100 points or more, including 25 straight wins since a 1977 loss to North Texas State.

Multiple ChoicesCreighton 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.

Big Deficits, No Big DealCreighton owns 16 victories under Greg McDermott after trailing by double-figures at some point. Nine of those comebacks have come away from home.

1-yale-notes.indd 7 11/6/2017 9:15:46 PM

On the other hand, CU is 144-12 under McDermott when putting together double-digit leads, including wins 132 of the last 140 times.

Très BienSince 2011-12, Creighton is 62-51 (.549) when shooting 40.00 percent or worse from three-point range. While respectable, that pales in comparison to CU’s 80-14 (.851) mark the previous six years when shooting better than 40.00 percent from downtown. Lower the standards to 30%, and it’s still impres-sive. Creighton is 123-36 in the previous six years when shooting 30 percent or better from deep, compared to 19-30 when shooting 29.99 percent or less.

CenturyLink Center Omaha SuccessCreighton has played 239 regular and postseason contests at CenturyLink Center Omaha all-time in the 15-year-old facility. The Bluejays own a 197-42 (.824) record all-time at the facility, and have never lost there on a

Thursday (7-0) or Friday (12-0). Creighton has outscored its opponents 18,341-15,477 in games at CenturyLink Center Omaha, an average margin of 11.98 points per game. Creighton has led wire-to-wire 67 different times, including 15 of its last 36 home games. Creighton is also 25-24 all-time in the 47 games at CLCO in which it’s fallen behind by double-figures at any point, 7-9 when down by 10+ points at halftime at The Link, and 31-22 when trailing at halftime at CenturyLink Center Omaha. Creighton is 100-24 (.806) at CenturyLink Center Omaha under Greg McDermott, including a 57-4 record vs. non-conference teams. Factor in a 17-0 home mark at the Omaha Civic Auditorium in 2002-03 and two wins at the Civic in the 2010 CIT, and the Bluejays are 217-42 (.838) at home since the start of the 2002-03 campaign.

Home RunSince Greg McDermott took over in 2010, Creighton is averaging 79.41 points per home game (9,847 points in 124 home games), a fig-ure that climbs to 83.52 points in non-conference home games (5,095 points in 61 home games). Creighton is 83-2 all-time at CenturyLink Center Omaha when scoring 80 or points and has won 81 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. The league has owned a top-five RPI in the NCAA RPI rankings in every season since 2000-01, as seen below:

Two of the best guards in the BIG EAST Conference, Marcus Foster and Khyri Thomas, figure to lead Creighton during the 2017-18 season. The pair are the only two returning starters for the Bluejays after a 25-10 season that saw the program spend eight weeks in the top-10 of the national rank-ings and finish with the program’s 20th trip to the NCAA Tournament. Foster led Creighton in scoring (18.2 ppg.), field goals (245), three-pointers (73) and free throws (75) in his first action with the Bluejays. The rising senior became Creighton’s second unanimous All-BIG EAST player in history, joining 2014 BIG EAST Player of the Year Doug McDermott. Last year Foster was one of five finalists for the Jerry West Shooting Guard of the Year Award, and one of 30 finalists for the Naismith Award given to the nation’s best player. Working alongside Foster on the wing is Thomas, who had a breakout season in 2016-17, averaged 12.3 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. He ranked among the top-10 in the league in both steals and assists per game and was voted BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year at season’s end. Thomas took on a leadership role in the second half of last season and stands to play an even bigger role on the offen-sive end in 2017-18. Adding depth on the wing behind Foster and Thomas will be sophomore Jordan Scurry and true freshmen Ty-Shon

Alexander and Mitch Ballock. Scurry played exclusively off the bench last sea-son, while both freshmen were top-100 recruits and have made a strong first impression in preseason workouts. Three men figure to challenge for significant playing time at point guard; senior Tyler Clement, junior Kaleb Joseph and sophomore Davion Mintz. Clement is a heady player who has shown progress in a reserve role during his first four years in the program. Joseph started 30 games as a true freshman at Syracuse in 2014-15, played sparingly with the Orange a year later, and sat out last season at Creighton as a transfer. He’s a former top-50 recruit who has developed into one of the more vocal leaders on the team. Mintz started a dozen games a year ago, including CU’s run to the BIG EAST Tournament final and its NCAA Tournament game. That experience should prove valuable during his second college campaign. Creighton’s front line will look to replace starters Cole Huff and Justin Patton, and a variety of men could fill each role. Fifth-year seniors Toby Hegner and Manny Suarez bring the most experience, with both men able to step out to the perimeter to shoot from long-distance. Hegner owns 40 career starts and 119 career three-pointers to his name, while Suarez is a graduate transfer that nearly averaged a double-double at Division II

Adelphi University last season. Also playing a factor will be junior Ronnie Harrell Jr. and sophomore Martin Krampelj. Harrell’s role grew late in the season when the versatile forward saw time at point guard. Krampelj can play inside or out to cause mismatch problems for opposing defenses. True freshman Jacob Epperson has also shown preseason potential. Though still slight in frame, he can finish with both hands and gives CU a shot blocking threat inside. Games away from home against Gonzaga, Northwestern, UCLA and either Baylor or Wisconsin will test the Bluejays in the non-conference slate. The BIG EAST won’t get any easier, with 12-of-18 games coming against teams that played in the 2017 NCAA Tournament.
