Creighton has won each of its last three BIG EAST road games, the first time it’s done that since Jan. 17 – Feb. 8, 2023 when it upended Butler, Georgetown and Seton Hall consecutively.
Creighton has not won four BIG EAST road games in a row since Jan. 27 – Feb. 9, 2021, when it defeated Seton Hall, DePaul, Marquette and Georgetown on the road during the COVID-19 season with minimal crowds.
Creighton last won four straight conference road games against crowds when it won its final two Missouri Valley Conference road games (Feb. 16 & 27, 2013) and its first two BIG EAST road games Jan. 4 & 7, 2014).Last Shot Wins?
Creighton and Villanova traded gut punches last season, as both visiting teams won on a shot in the final 30 seconds.
In the first meeting last December, Creighton led by as much as 14 but scored just six points in the final 10:45 of regulation. In overtime, Eric Dixon made a three-pointer with 28.3 seconds left to help Nova to a 68-66 win as Creighton missed on three chances in the final seconds to tie or take the lead.
The second meeting on March 9 to end the regular-season was just as unique. Creighton made eight three-pointers in the first eight minutes and raced to a 32-8 lead to stun the Wells Fargo Center crowd, but Villanova fought all the way back to tie the score on three free throws by Dixon with 23.6 seconds left. Creighton guard Trey Alexander then won it as he floated across the lane to hit a fadeaway jumper with 0.2 left for the win.
Villanova’s last three home games have been decided by a total of five points.Dixon Doing It All
Eric Dixon leads the nation with 24.6 points per game, a scary sight considering his history against Creighton.
Dixon has scored 183 points in nine all-time meetings against the Bluejays, good for 20.3 points per game. That’s his most points and highest scoring average against any other BIG EAST foe. Since 1996-97, the only player to score more points against Creighton was former Evansville star Colt Ryan’s 201.
Creighton is the only team that Dixon has ever scored 20 points against more than three straight meetings. He has made 25-of-50 three-pointers (.500) in his career against CU, 11 more makes than what he’s done against any other school.
Dixon has scored 20 points or more in each of his last six meetings against Creighton, the longest streak by any Bluejay opponent since at least 2009-10.
The only other BIG EAST player in the last 20 seasons to score 20 points or more in six straight meetings against the same league opponent was Marquette’s Markus Howard, who did it in seven straight meetings vs. Villanova and six in a row against Seton Hall.
Dixon enters Saturday having scored in double-figures in 36 games in a row, the nation’s third-longest active streak and one behind Marquette’s Kam Jones for the longest in the league.Endless Range In Philly in 2014

The only exception in that time came in 2014-15, when the Jays won nine times at home.Filling The Building
Saturday[s Pink Out was Creighton’s fourth home sellout of the season, and the loyal support of Bluejay faithful remains a key reason the Bluejays currently rank sixth nationally in average home attendance.
Excluding the 2020-21 season that had limited fans due to COVID, this would be Creighton MBB’s 13th straight season in the Top 10 in average home attendance.

The NABC and Coaches vs. Cancer host one of their biggest initiatives of the year from Jan. 27-Feb. 2 for Suits and Sneakers Week.
It’ll see the Creighton coaching staff wear suits with sneakers to bring awareness of the importance of cancer screening and health equity.
One-third of people in the United States will be diagnosed with cancer, but regular screening increases the chances of detecting certain cancers early before it has a chance to spread. More information about screening and saving lives can be found at Cancer.org.
In 2018 Coaches vs. Cancer presented Greg McDermott with the Champion Award, which recognizes a college coach who has shown extraordinary leadership and a commitment to the American Cancer Society’s mission of saving lives, celebrating lives and leading the fight for a world without cancer.Veteran Duo
Ryan Kalkbrenner (18.3) and Steven Ashworth (16.5) have played in a combined 306 collegiate games, and they’ve used that experience to make Creighton one of four Power 5 teams nationally with multiple players averaging 16.5 points per game or more.
Northwestern (Brooks Barnhizer & Nick Martinelli) Pittsburgh (Ishmael Legett, Jaland Lowe) and Rutgers (Ace Bailey & Dylan Harper) are the only other Power 5 teams that can say that.
Last year Kalkbrenner, Trey Alexander and Baylor Scheierman gave Creighton three players scoring 17.0 points per game or more, the first Power 5 team to do so since Duke in 2009-10 (Jon Scheyer, Kyle Singler, Nolan Smith).12 Blocks, No Fouls?
Ryan Kalkbrenner’s fifth year of college could see him winning a fourth BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year award, something only Patrick Ewing has done in league history.
Kalkbrenner had back-to-back games with six blocked shots and no fouls on Jan. 11 & 14, making him just the third player nationally since 2005-06 to do that in consecutive games, joining Southeastern Louisiana’s Jalyn Hinton (March 11 & 12, 2022) and Washington’s Robert Upshaw (Nov. 14 & 21, 2014).
Kalkbrenner (on Jan. 11 and Jan. 14) now owns two games in the last couple weeks with six blocks and no fouls. All other Creighton players since 1991-92 combined for one such game (Gregory Echenique vs. Drake on March 8, 2013).20 & 10 For Kalkbrenner
Ryan Kalkbrenner had 20 points and 10 rebounds vs. Providence on Jan. 14, the eighth time in his career he’s had at least 20 points and 10 rebounds in the same contest.
In the last 20 seasons, the only other two Creighton basketball players (men or women) with five or more 20/10 career games were both First Round NBA Draft picks.

Creighton beat No. 1 Kansas on December 4th, defeated defending NCAA champion UConn on Jan. 18th and defending NIT champion Seton Hall on Jan. 25th. For good measure, CU also topped defending runner-up Purdue in an exhibition game this season.
Even when you take out the Purdue win, Creighton is first team to defeat the defending NCAA champ, the defending NIT champ and the No. 1 team in the country in the same season since Michigan State in 2008-09. The Spartans beat NCAA champ Kansas (twice), NIT champ Ohio State (twice) and No. 1 Louisville.Winning Plays Lead To Miller Time
Mason Miller led the BIG EAST in three-point percentage last year, when he started every league game, but he continues to contribute to winning even though his shot has not fallen at the same rate.
Miller now comes off the bench and has averaged 1.6 points and 1.8 rebounds per game in his last eight outings. He was subbed in for defense on multiple occasions on Jan. 18 at UConn, something that rarely happened his first three years as a Bluejay, and took a crucial charge on Alex Karaban in the final two minutes.
Miller owns a +76 plus/minus in the past eight games in 128 minutes of action, with CU outscoring teams by five points in the 192 minutes he’s been on the bench in that same span.Traudt Uses The 4’s
Isaac Traudtt is 16-for-19 from the field and 11-of-14 from deep in the past four home games.
Traudt made 4-of-4 three pointers in a four-minute span on Jan. 14 vs. Providence, scoring 13 points when you add in a four-point play after his second bucket.
Traudt was Creighton’s first player to shoot 100 percent from deep with four or more attempts since Marcus Zegarowski shot 5-for-5 from distance vs. Seton Hall on March 7, 2020, a day that Creighton clinched a share of its lone BIG EAST title to date.
The hot streak has seen Traudt up his career three-point marksmanship at home to 50.6 percent (42-83), a CHI Health Center Omaha record among players with 25 or more made trifectas.
Since his arrival on The Hilltop, when Traudt plays Creighton is 23-4 when he scores and 15-10 when he’s scoreless.

Creighton leads the nation with 12 games this season of 10 fouls or less, and is the only team nationally with more than three league games with 10 fouls or less this winter. Creighton has done it 7-of-10 BIG EAST games, while all other BIG EAST teams have done it a combined total of six times.
Since the start of the 2021-22 season, Creighton owns 41 games with 10 fouls or less, with Appalachian State second with just 23 such contests.
Since the start of last season, Creighton owns a nation-leading 11 conference games with nine fouls or less. No other team has done it more than five times.Guarding The Paint
The presence of three-time BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year Ryan Kalkbrenner is key to Creighton’s success in defending the paint.
While Creighton opponents shoot a respectable 60.11 percent at the rim, that number falls off from there. Bluejay foes are shooting 36.6 percent from the paint outside the charge circle, and just 38.6 percent from two-point range outside the paint.

Ryan Kalkbrenner owns the career record for field goal percentage in BIG EAST play (min. 5 FG/game) among multi-year players at 63.9 percent.
Kalkbrenner owns 225 career blocks in BIG EAST play, fourth-most in league history.
Kalkbrenner also became the 49th player in league history to score 1,000 career points in BIG EAST play on Dec. 18 and now owns 1,185 to rank 19th all-time.
Kalkbrenner also owns 573 career rebounds in BIG EAST play, which is 11th-most in league history.
Kalkbrenner is the 11th man with 1,000+ points and 500+ rebounds in BIG EAST action over a career, but the only man in history with 1,000 points, 500 rebounds and 200 blocked shots in BIG EAST play during a career.

Ryan Kalkbrenner’s numbers defy logic. Take a look:
In his career, Kalkbrenner has been fouled 519 times, owns 363 blocked shots, 290 dunks and just 247 career personal fouls in 154 games played.
This year only, he’s been fouled 90 times and has 57 blocks, 54 dunks and committed 22 fouls.
The only major conference men’s players in history besides Kalkbrenner (+113) to block 325 shots and own at least 100 more blocks than fouls are Jarvis Varnado (+220), Tim Duncan (+178), Emeka Okafor (+170), Calvin Booth (+165), Hasheem Thabeet (+159), Benoit Benjamin (+147), Jamarion Sharp (+141), Shaquille O’Neal (+125) and Dikembe Mutombo (+120).Starting Strong
Including this winter, Creighton has started 8-2 or better after 10 league games in four of Greg McDermott‘s first 15 seasons on The Hilltop, and 7-3 or better nine times.
On Saturday, the Jays will look to match their best 11-game BIG EAST start ever, having also started 9-2 in 2013-14..

Jamiya Neal played 93 games in the previous three seasons at Arizona State and had just one outing with five assists in a game.
He’s transformed his game in Omaha, where he’s now 10th in the BIG EAST with his 4.1 assists per game average, and he’s the only player in the BIG EAST that’s top 11 in the league in both rebounds and assists per game.
Neal owns six assists or more in seven games this season, with Creighton going 6-1 in those contests.
Neal’s 87 assists are already the most for any season of his career.
Neal opened his senior season with 17 straight games of three assists or more before it was snapped in the win at UConn, when he scored a career-high 24 points.More Kalkbrenner Unicornisms
Ryan Kalkbrenner owns 2,137 points and 363 blocks in his career.
Per Basketball-Reference.com, he is the seventh player in Division I men’s basketball history with at least 2,100 points and 350 blocked shots in a career.
Each of the first five men to do it were picked No. 1 in the NBA Draft. The other, Auburn star Johni Broome, is currently active.

Ryan Kalkbrenner had quite the stat line on Jan. 11 at Butler, finishing with 26 points, nine rebounds, six blocked shots, three steals and no fouls while also making three three-pointers.
Before Kalkbrenner that game at Butler, the nation’s last player with 26 points, nine rebounds and six blocked shots in a game…was also Kalkbrenner, who had a 28/9/7 line in a triple-overtime win at Seton Hall on Jan. 20, 2024.
Digging deeper, Kalkbrenner became the nation’s first Division I men’s player with at least 26 points, nine rebounds and six blocked shots while not committing a foul in a conference game since Kentucky’s Anthony Davis had 27/14/7 vs. Arkansas on Jan. 17, 2012.
Kalkbrenner was the first high major player with at least 26 points, nine rebounds and six blocked shots in a game that he made three or more three-pointers since Oregon’s Chris Boucher had a 26/10/7/4 line at Arizona State on Jan. 31, 2016.
And if you combine his whole line of 26 points, nine rebounds, six blocks, three steals and three three-pointers and you’ll learn Kalkbrenner is the nation’s only high-major player since 2005-06 with such a box score line like that.Rare Air
Ryan Kalkbrenner and National Player of the Year frontrunner Johni Broome (Auburn) are in rare company as the nation’s only high major players to average at least 17.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.6 blocked shots per game this season.
In the last 25 seasons, only eight high-major players have finished a season hitting each of those benchmarks, with five of those men hailing from the BIG EAST.

He’s one of just five Bluejay men to have multiple points/assists double-doubles in a season since 1992-93.
Ashworth, who is now averaging 16.5 points and 6.8 assists per game, is also on pace to be the seventh different BIG EAST player in the last 40 years to average at least 16.5 points and 6.5 assists per game. Of that grouping, he’d be the first to do it while making at least 2.90 three-pointers per game.

Before McAndrew, no CU freshman had made a triple in at least nine straight league games since Ethan Wragge’s streak of 16 in a row from Jan. 3 – Feb. 27, 2010 when the Bluejays were part of the Missouri Valley Conference.
McAndrew is the only freshman in the BIG EAST to make a three-pointer in nine straight league games this season, and is the league’s first man to do it in nine straight conference games since Villanova’s Cam Whitmore’s 11 game streak in 2022-23.

Jackson McAndrew scored 13 points in each of his first two BIG EAST games and has now scored in double-figures nine times this winter.
McAndrew was Creighton’s first true freshman with 13 or more points in each of Creighton’s first two conference games since Chad Gallagher in 1988-89 when CU was a member of the Missouri Valley Conference. Gallagher is now Creighton’s fifth-leading scorer in program history with 1,983 career points.
CU’s only other freshman in the last 35 years to score 13+ in his first four league games was redshirt freshman Justin Patton, who did it in his first four BIG EAST games in 2016-17. Patton would go on to earn BIG EAST Freshman of the Year honors and went on to become the No. 16 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft.
McAndrew’s nine games this season with 10 or more points ranks tied for 10th-most among Creighton true freshmen in the last 25 seasons. Of the 13 most recent players to do it (before McAndrew), 11 went on to be named to the conference’s All-Freshman Team other than two men who eventually played in the NBA.
This season, the only other BIG EAST players with more than five double-digit performances this season have been UConn’s Liam McNeeley (11) and Georgetown’s Thomas Sorber (14).

Ryan Kalkbrenner was named to the John R. Wooden Award Midseason Top 25 Watch List by the Los Angeles Athletic Club on January 7th.
Selected by a preseason poll of national college basketball experts, the list comprises 25 student-athletes who are frontrunners for the most prestigious honors in college basketball: the Wooden Award All-American Team and the Wooden Award® Most Outstanding Player.
The players on the list are considered strong candidates for the 2025 John R. Wooden Award® Men’s Player of the Year. Players not selected for the midseason list remain eligible for inclusion on the Wooden Award® late-season list, and the National Ballot. The National Ballot will feature 15 top players who have demonstrated to their universities that they meet or exceed the Wooden Award® qualifications.
Nearly 1,000 voters will be invited to rank 10 of the 15 players on the ballot in order of preference when voting opens during the NCAA Tournament. Voters will also consider performances in the tournament’s early rounds, players’ contributions to their teams and their character. The Wooden Award All-American Team will be announced during the week of the NCAA Tournament’s “Elite Eight.”
The winners and the All Americans of the 2025 John R. Wooden Award®, presented by Principal, will be honored at the Los Angeles Athletic Club on April 11.Big Deficits, No Big Deal
Creighton owns 28 victories since the start of the 2010-11 season after trailing by double-figures at some point, including a New Year’s Eve comeback win after trailing 18-7 early vs. St. John’s.
Thirteen of those 28 comebacks have come away from home.
If you’re curious, CU’s largest comeback win since 2000 came on Jan. 28, 2006, when the Jays trailed 25-6 early before rallying to beat Wichita State on a buzzer-beater by Anthony Tolliver.

Creighton is 303-63 all-time inside CHI Health Center Omaha.
Creighton needed 118 games to reach 100 victories, with that coming on Nov. 17, 2010, a 63-58 win over Louisiana. Creighton’s Nov. 25, 2017 win over SIU Edwardsville was the program’s 200th at the facility and came in its 242nd home game.
Creighton won its 300th game vs. St. John’s on Dec. 31, 2024 in its 363rd game.Thomas Earns Scholarship Under Xmas Tree
Redshirt freshman guard Shane Thomas was surprised on Christmas morning, as one of the gifts he received was an envelope from the Creighton Basketball program.
Thomas opened the letter and read it to himself with a puzzled look. After his family asked him what the letter said, Thomas recited aloud “full grant in aid, spring of 2025…I think it’s a scholarship.”
Thomas’ guess was accurate, as the former walk-on will now be on scholarship for the spring semester.Among The Best
Creighton owns more BIG EAST wins (75) than any other school in the last six seasons, eight more than Marquette’s 67.
Since the league’s 2013 realignment, Villanova has 156 league wins to lead the BIG EAST by a wide margin, but Creighton’s 130 league victories are second-most.

Steven Ashworth set a Creighton single-game record on Nov. 6 vs. UTRGV when he was a perfect 17-for-17 at the free throw line. It’s the most attempts without a miss in a game in CU history.
The last previous power conference player to make 17+ free throws without a miss was Tennessee’s Grant Williams vs. Vanderbilt on Jan. 23, 2019, who was 23-for-23.
The 17 makes at the line were an arena record (two others had made 15), and tied for second-most in a game in CU history behind only Bob Portman’s 19 vs. UW-Milwaukee on Dec. 16, 1967.
Ashworth’s 17 attempts are 10th-most in CU history, and the most by a Bluejay since Nate Funk shot 18 in a double-overtime win vs. Dayton on Nov. 26, 2005.
Ashworth’s streak of 41 consecutive made free throws was snapped on Nov. 27th vs. Texas A&M, four shy of the record set by Doug McDermott in 2013-14. Ashworth shook off that rare miss and then made 38 free trows in a row, CU’s third-longest streak ever.
Ashworth is the lone player in program history with multiple streaks of 30 free throws made or more.

The longest streak in CU history, Baylor Scheierman’s 48 in a row (which doesn’t include his final 10 games at South Dakota State).

Kalkbrenner is just the third player in league history to win the recognition three times or more, joining Georgetown greats Patrick Ewing (4x) and Alonzo Mourning (3x).
Between Kalkbrenner and 2017 & 2018 winner Khyri Thomas, Creighton has now had a BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year in five of the previous eight seasons.

Greg McDermott enters Saturday tied for sixth in BIG EAST history with 131 regular-season league wins, putting him even with John Thompson III, and Rick Pitino.
McDermott, along with Ed Cooley and Rick Pitino, are the only three active coaches with 100 regular-season BIG EAST wins. The list contains six different coaches who have won at least one national title.
McDermott has been at his current job (15 seasons) longer than any active BIG EAST coach, but since his first three years were as a member of the Missouri Valley Conference, Cooley’s 14 years in the BIG EAST lead all active league coaches.

Junior guard Pop Isaacs will miss the remainder of the 2024-25 season as the Las Vegas native underwent hip surgery on Dec. 11th.
Isaacs ranked second on the team with 16.3 points per game in eight appearances, including a season-high 27 points in CU’s victory over No. 1 Kansas on Dec. 4 in his final game, which helped him earn BIG EAST Player of the Week honors.Combo #7
The season is just 21 games old, but Creighton has already used seven different starting line-up combinations thanks to a variety of injuries and other circumstances.
That’s quite different than how Greg McDermott has typically run his program, when he finds a starting line-up and sticks with it.
In McDermott’s 15 years patrolling the Bluejay sideline, this year’s seven different line-ups are the second-most he’s used over the course of an entire campaign.

5 CreightonPreseason BIG EAST Poll
The Creighton men’s basketball team has been picked to finish second in the BIG EAST Conference in the annual survey of league coaches, which was unveiled as part of BIG EAST Media Day.
It marks the second straight year CU has been picked second, and fourth time in the past five seasons the Bluejays have been tabbed for a top-two finish. CU’s 2020-21 squad and 2023-24 teams were also both picked second, and eventually finished in second place, while the 2022-23 squad that eventually reached the Elite Eight was picked first and finished in third place.
Connecticut, the defending BIG EAST regular season and tournament champion and the reigning national champion, was chosen to finish first in the poll. The Huskies received all possible 10 first-place votes and 100 points from the league’s head coaches who were not permitted to vote for their own teams.
Creighton will be led by Ryan Kalkbrenner, who is a Preseason First Team All-BIG EAST selection for the third time and also earned his first Preseason BIG EAST Player of the Year accolade. Kalkbrenner remains the only player in program history to earn Preseason First Team All-BIG EAST honors multiple times. The only other Bluejays to be named Preseason BIG EAST Player of the Year have been Doug McDermott (2013-14) and Marcus Zegarowski (2020-21).
Joining Kalkbrenner with Preseason First Team All-BIG EAST acclaim was Connecticut’s Alex Karaban, Marquette’s Kam Jones, Providence’s Bryce Hopkins, St. John’s Kadary Richmond and Villanova’s Eric Dixon.
Creighton has matched or exceeded its preseason projection in all but one season since joining the BIG EAST in 2013-14, the best showing in the league in that time. The Bluejays are seeking a ninth straight finish in the top four of the league standings. CU’s team three years ago was predicted to finish eighth in the BIG EAST, then ended up in fourth. Five years ago, a team picked seventh in the BIG EAST’s preseason poll went 13-5 in league play to share its first league title with Villanova and Seton Hall. That Bluejay team ended the year ranked seventh in the entire nation.

Jamiya Neal nearly had Creighton’s second points/rebounds/assists triple-double in program history on Dec. 7th vs. UNLV when he turned in 19 points, nine rebounds and nine assists (along with a career-high four blocked shots).
Neal’s nine assists were a career-high and led directly to 22 points.
Steven Ashworth came even closer on Jan. 11 at Butler, finishing with 22 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists.
Creighton’s only points/rebounds/assists triple-double in program history came on Feb. 13, 2024 when Baylor Scheierman had a 15/11/11 line in a win over Georgetown.Reserves Get It Done
Creighton’s bench combined for a season-high 33 points in its Dec. 7th win vs. UNLV, making 13-of-20 shots overall and 7-of-9 three-pointers.
The 33 bench points were CU’s most since scoring 47 on Dec. 9, 2023 vs. Central Michigan.
Creighton scored 29 bench points vs. Providence on Jan. 14th, its most in a league game since also scoring 29 vs. St. John’s on Jan. 25, 2023.
Creighton has won 45 straight games when scoring 17 bench points or more.Did You Know?
Ryan Kalkbrenner had 17 points and 10 rebounds vs. No. 1 Kansas on Dec. 4th, making him Creighton’s first player ever with a double-double against a top-ranked team.
Kalkbrenner’s 10 rebounds also tied the most ever by a Bluejay against a No.1 squad, as George Morrow also had 10 boards vs. DePaul on Jan. 28, 1980.
Pop Isaacs’ 27 points tied a program-record for the most by any Bluejay against a top-ranked team, something Ty-Shon Alexander also did vs. Gonzaga on Dec. 1, 2018. Isaacs is also the first player since Marquette’s Dwyane Wade (vs. Kentucky in 2003) with at least 27 points, seven rebounds and four assists in a win over the No. 1 ranked team.Something Special
Per OptaStats, Creighton became the first team to beat two different AP No. 1 teams by double digits in the same calendar year since Oklahoma did it in back-to-back games in February 1990 (beat Missouri & Kansas). In addition to the 76-63 win over Kansas on Dec. 4, CU also topped UConn 85-66 on Feb. 20th.
Per ESPN, the Dec. 4 loss to Creighton was the third-largest margin in 105 all-time losses by a top-ranked Kansas team to an unranked foe, and the most since losing by 16 in 2011 to Kansas State.
At the time, the only other unranked team in the last five seasons (2020-21 to 2024-25) to beat the No. 1 team by 13+ points was Nebraska vs. Purdue on Jan. 9, 2024.
Elias Sports Bureau has confirmed that Creighton is the nation’s third team in the last 20 seasons to beat a top-ranked program with a +13 advantage in both scoring and rebounding, joining No. 5 Kentucky vs. #1 Tennessee on Feb. 16, 2019 as well as No. 3 Baylor over No. 1 Gonzaga in the 2021 national title game.
Creighton became just the fourth unranked BIG EAST school to beat the AP’s No. 1 team by double-digits, joining Louisville over Syracuse (78-68 on March 10, 2006), UConn over Texas (88-74 on Jan. 23, 2010) and Villanova over Syracuse (93-74 on Jan. 6, 1990), which means CU is the second to do so in a regular-season non-conference game.Down Goes #1
Creighton is one of just eight teams in the last 15 seasons to defeat a No. 1 team in the country in back-to-back seasons. Here’s a list at the others to have done it:
Creighton 2023-24 (UConn) and 2024-25 (Kansas)
Northwestern 2022-23 (Purdue) and 2023-24 (Purdue)
Rutgers 2021-22 (Purdue) and 2022-23 (Purdue)

West Virginia 2015-16 (Kansas) and 2016-17 (Baylor)
Indiana 2011-12 (Kentucky) and 2012-13 (Michigan)Unsung Heroes
Creighton has the luxury of bringing three veterans off the bench who can play a variety of positions and shoot it from deep in Mason Miller, Isaac Traudt and Jasen Green.
The trio has scored 197 points in Creighton’s 15 wins, but have a total of 19 points in CU’s six losses to date.Denied!
Ryan Kalkbrenner had at least one blocked shot in 27 straight games played, the second-longest streak by a Bluejay since 1984-85, before being held without a swat at Marquette on Jan. 3rd.
It was Kalkbrenner’s third career streak of 25 or more games with a swat, making him the nation’s only player since 2005-06 with three such streaks.
Kalkbrenner’s six blocked shots on Jan. 11 at Butler and Jan. 14 vs. Providence were a season-high, and the 21st game of his career with five or more rejections. All other Bluejay players since 2005-06 have combined for 16 such games (7 by Gregory Echenique, 4 by Anthony Tolliver, 2 by Kenny Lawson Jr. and 1 each by Fredrick King, Jacob Epperson and Justin Patton).

Jackson McAndrew had 12 points and 14 rebounds on Nov. 26 vs. San Diego State, then followed that up with a season-high 16 points vs. No. 20 Texas A&M a day later.
McAndrew was the first Bluejay freshman with a double-double since Fredrick King had 16 points and 10 rebounds at Marquette on Dec. 16, 2022.
McAndrew is the first Bluejay with a double-double in his first start at Creighton since South Dakota State transfer Baylor Scheierman had 11 points and 10 rebounds on Nov. 7, 2022 vs. Florida A&M.
McAndrew was the first Bluejay freshman with a double-double in his first career start since Ryan Nembhard (15 points, 10 assists). No Bluejay freshman since at least 1987-88 had owned a points/rebounds double-double in his first career start.
McAndrew is one of three freshmen in the BIG EAST this season to have a double-double in his first career start, joining UConn’s Liam McNeeley (18 & 10 vs. Sacred Heart) and Georgetown’s Thomas Sorber (20 & 13 vs. Lehigh).
McAndrew’s 14 rebounds were the third-most by any freshman in Greg McDermott‘s 15 years as Creighton head coach (491 games). Doug McDermott had 17 at Bradley on Feb. 1, 2011 and 16 at Akron on Feb. 19, 2011.
McAndrew was also the first Bluejay freshman since Fredrick King in December of 2022 to score 12+ points in consecutive games.McDermott Passes Altman On CU Wins List
Greg McDermott has 340 victories at Creighton, passing his predecessor Dana Altman (327) for the most in program history in CU’s Nov. 13 win vs. Houston Christian.
McDermott broke a different record on Jan. 21 at DePaul when he coached his 504th game on the Bluejay sideline, breaking the mark of 503 held by Altman.
McDermott’s .672 winning percentage is Creighton’s best since Arthur A. Schabinger’s .714 win rate from 90 years ago.

One reason for Creighton’s extended run of success has been the continuity within its coaching staff. The Bluejays have had just two head coaches in the last 31 years, Dana Altman (1994-2010) and Greg McDermott (2010-Present).
Here’s a list of major conference schools to have a coach with 300 wins at that school, and their predecessor also had 300 wins at the school:

Creighton Dana Altman Greg McDermott
Kansas Roy Williams Bill Self
Michigan State Jud Heathcote Tom Izzo
Purdue Gene Keady Matt PainterThe Launch Pad
Basketball-Reference.com did the math, and Creighton owns 9,508 three-pointers in 1,246 games since the rule went national in 1986-87.
That ranks second-most in the country in that span, trailing only Duke (9,890 through Jan. 30).
Additionally, Creighton’s 7.63 three-pointers per game in that time lead the nation among programs who are currently in a major conference.7-Foot-1 Of Awesome
A few notes about Ryan Kalkbrenner.
There’s only two BIG EAST players to score 73+ points in 60 minutes or less in any two game span since 2005-06. Ryan Kalkbrenner (73 points in 58 minutes) in the opening week this season and UConn’s Kemba Walker (73 points in 60 minutes) in 2010.
Ryan Kalkbrenner is one of three major conference players since 2005-06 to score 73 points and block six shots in any two game span, joining Indiana’s Trayce Jackson-Davis and Kansas State’s Michael Beasley.
There’s been only four BIG EAST players to score 73+ points to score any two-game span since 2012: Marquette’s Markus Howard (7x), DePaul’s Max Strus, Creighton’s Doug McDermott and Creighton’s Ryan Kalkbrenner.
Kalkbrenner is the nation’s second player since 2005-06 to score 24+ points and shoot 90 percent (min. 10 FGA) in consecutive games, joining Belmont’s Evan Bradds from November of 2015.
Evan Bradds (7x) and Ryan Kalkbrenner (7x) are the only men in the country with five or more career games of 90 percent shooting (min. 10 FGA) since 2005-06.Kalkbrenner Block Machine

Creighton center Ryan Kalkbrenner was named the first BIG EAST Player of the Week of the 2024-25 season, the conference announced on Nov. 11. He also picked up National Player of the Week acclaim from ESPN’s Dick Vitale, NCAA.com’s Andy Katz, the USBWA, Associated Press as well as the Lute Olson Award.
The 7-foot-1 center averaged 36.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.0 blocked shots per game as No. 15 Creighton posted a pair of double-digit victories to open the season. The three-time BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year shot 90.6 percent from the field (29-32), including 100 percent from three-point range (3-3), and also made 92.3 percent (12-13) of his free throw attempts.
It was the first weekly honor from the BIG EAST of Kalkbrenner’s career, though he’s certainly no stranger to hardware. Kalkbrenner is one of three men to earn at least three BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year honors. He was named First Team All-BIG EAST in 2022-23, Second Team All-BIG EAST in 2023-24 and Honorable Mention All-BIG EAST in 2021-22. Prior to this season, Kalkbrenner was named the league’s Preseason Player of the Year. He is also a four-time member of the BIG EAST’s All-Academic Team.Kalkbrenner Scoring Tidbits
Ryan Kalkbrenner’s 49 points vs. UTRGV on Nov. 6 bring up all sorts of notes.
– In the last 25 years, the only player nationally with more points in a season-opener than Kalkbrenner’s 49 was Arkansas’ Rotnei Clarke, who had 51 in 2009 against Alcorn State.
– Kalkbrenner’s 49 points are the fourth-most ever in a season-opener by a player on a Top 25 team, trailing only LSU’s Bob Pettit (60 in 1953), UCLA’s Lew Alcindor (56 in 1966) and Jacksonville’s Artis Gilmore (50 in 1970). Those other three men are in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
– Kalkbrenner is the first Bluejay with 40+ points and 10+ rebounds in the same game since Chad Gallagher had 40 points and 11 rebounds vs. Wichita State on Feb. 17, 1990.
– Kalkbrenner’s 49 points were the fifth-most points in a game in BIG EAST history. Marquette’s Markus Howard had games of 53, 52 and 51, while Providence’s MarShon Brooks had a 52 point game as well.
– Kalkbrenner’s 49 points were the most in a double-double performance in BIG EAST history.
– Before Kalkbrenner’s 49 points and 11 rebounds, no other high major player has posted as many points and rebounds in any game over the past 30 years.
– Kalkbrenner is also the nation’s only player with 49+ points and 3+ blocks in the same game since at least 2005-06.
– Kalkbrenner scored Creighton’s first eight points and got better as the game went on. He had nine points in the first 10 minutes, then scored 11 in the final 10 minutes before half for the highest-scoring first half of his career.
Kalkbrenner then scored 14 points in the first 10 minutes of the second half before closing his masterpiece with 15 points in the final 10 minutes.
– Kalkbrenner’s 49 points broke Doug McDermott’s record of 45 points by a Creighton player at CHI Health Center Omaha. The overall record is 53 by Marquette’s Markus Howard on Jan. 9, 2019.Having A Field Day
Ryan Kalkbrenner’s 20 field goals made on Nov. 6 were a Creighton single-game record, eclipsing the previous mark of 19 done twice by Bob Portman in 1968.
Kalkbrenner’s 20 field goals are the most in a season-opener by any player nationally in the last 15 seasons.
Kalkbrenner is the only player in the BIG EAST in at least 30 years with 49+ points and 20+ field goals in a game.
Kalkbrenner’s 20 field goals tied the single-game BIG EAST record held by Providence’s MarShon Brooks vs. Notre Dame in 2011.
Kalkbrenner’s 20 field goals made were a CHI Health Center Omaha record, breaking the old mark of 17 done twice by Doug McDermott and once by Evansville’s Colt Ryan.
Kalkbrenner’s 20 field goals made were the most by any player in a game against a Division I foe since Iowa State’s Melvin Ejim made 20 hoops vs. TCU on Feb. 8, 2014.
Kalkbrenner’s 90.9 percent shooting from the field was the highest field goal percentage in a 45-point game by any Division I player in the past 25 seasons, and the highest by a player to attempt 20 or more shots in a game in the past 25 years.
– Kalkbrenner was the first player with 20 field goals on 90 percent shooting in a Division I game since UCLA’s Bill Walton made 21-of-22 shots vs. Memphis in the 1973 NCAA final.
– Kalkbrenner missed just three shots (2 FG, 1 FT). He’s the first Division I or NBA player to score 45+ points while missing no more than three shots (FG or FT) since Dirk Nowitzki did in the 2011 NBA playoffs.
– Kalkbrenner made his final three field goal attempts in the first half, then made 11-of-11 shots in the second half, giving him 14 buckets in a row. That’s two shy of the NCAA single-game record of 16 made field goals in a row set by Kent State’s Doug Grayson vs. North Carolina on Dec. 6, 1967.
Dynamic Duo
Ryan Kalkbrenner (49) and Steven Ashworth (25) combined for 74 points on Nov. 6th. It was the most points by any BIG EAST duo since at least 1996-97.
It’s the second-most points by any Creighton pair in the same game, one point shy of the mark set on Jan. 19, 1985 when Benoit Benjamin (45) and Vernon Moore (30) combined for 75.
It’s the most points by any Creighton duo in 15 seasons under Greg McDermott. The previous high was 62, done on March 9, 2019 by Mitch Ballock (39) and Martin Krampelj (23) vs. DePaul. Ballock is now a graduate manager on the Bluejay staff.
In addition to Ballock and Krampelj, Creighton’s only other duo to combine for 62+ points in a game since 1996-97 was Nate Funk (38) and Johnny Mathies (24), who did it in double-overtime on Nov. 26, 2005 vs. Dayton.
The last Division I duo to combine for 74+ points in a non-overtime game was Austin Peay’s Terry Taylor and Jordyn Adams (both with 37) vs. Tennessee State on Jan. 23, 2020.Jays Don’t Foul…Do You Follow?
Creighton led the nation with just 11.5 fouls per game last year, well ahead of runner-up Lipscomb’s 12.9 per contest, and are averaging an 10.43 fouls per game this season to lead the country. That puts CU on pace to shatter the NCAA single-season record for fewest fouls per game, a mark currently held by the 1961-62 Air Force team that averaged 11.0 fouls per game.
Creighton’s streak of 60 straight games without a foul out was snapped on Nov. 30 vs. Notre Dame. Per Elias, that streak had been the nation’s longest since at least 2005-06.
Since the start of last year, Creighton has committed three fouls or less in 26 different halves.
In 56 games since the start of last season, Creighton has allowed just 59 made free throws in a 1-and-1 situation, and just 18 made free throws in the double bonus (and 6 of those came in an overtime session). Only four of those free throws in a 1-and-1 situation came in the first half (2 each vs. Alabama and San Diego State).
Here’s a look at how many fouls Creighton was called for this season by half:

Total 82 137Nifty Fifty Leads To Postseason?
Not counting 2019-20, when there was no postseason, Creighton has made the postseason each of the previous 11 times in which it has made at least 50 percent of its field goal attempts to open the year. That’s a good sign since CU shot 60 percent on Nov. 6, its best mark since at least 1993-94 in a lid-lifter.
Nine of those postseason trips were NCAA Tournament berths. The last time that didn’t hold true was 1991-92, when CU shot 51.0 percent in the opener but finished just 9-19.
Creighton has shot 50 percent or better in nine of its last 13 season-openers.

Senior center Ryan Kalkbrenner has been named one of 20 candidates on the NABC Division I Player of the Year Preseason Watch List, one of 50 players up for the John R. Wooden Award, and one of 50 candidates for the Naismith Trophy Men’s Player of the Year Watch List.
Kalkbrenner is four players named to the Naismith’s Preseason list each of the last three years (joining Hunter Dickinson, RJ Davis and Caleb Love). He’s also one of four players to make the NABC Preseason list each of the past two seasons, joining Dickinson, Oumar Ballo and Wade Taylor IV.Who’s Back?
With Creighton returning six of the 11 men who appeared in a game last season, it’s no surprise that a similar ratio of the production from 2023-24 is also gone. Below is a breakdown of what is back:
Stat Returners Departures
Blocks 119 (83.2%) 24 (16.8%)

The Creighton men’s basketball team was ranked 15th in the Associated Press Preseason Top 25 poll, the third straight season the Bluejays have been ranked among the nation’s best in the preseason.
This year’s announcement marks the seventh time in program history the writers have voted CU to the top-25 in the preseason, joining 2006-07 (No. 19), 2012-13 (No. 16) and 2016-17 (No. 22), 2020-21 (No. 11), 2022-23 (No. 9) and 2023-24 (No. 8). All six of those teams would end up in the NCAA Tournament, with the last three most recent squads making the Sweet 16.
Creighton’s best ranking in program history is seventh, done five times (Jan. 16, 2017, March 10, 2020, March 18, 2020, Jan. 7, 2021 and Nov. 28, 2022).
Creighton has been ranked 146 times in program history, with 118 of those under the direction of McDermott. Creighton is 180-76 all-time as a ranked team, including a 146-64 mark under McDermott. Creighton has now been ranked at least one week in 11 of McDermott’s 15 seasons on The Hilltop after doing it just five different seasons in program history before his 2010 arrival.
Creighton is one of 13 schools ranked in the Top 25 of the Preseason AP poll each of the last three years, joining Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Baylor, Creighton, Duke, Gonzaga, Houston, Kansas, Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. Narrow that list to just the Preseason Top 15 the past three seasons and only seven schools can claim that, with Creighton joining Duke, Gonzaga, Houston, Kansas, North Carolina and Tennessee.
Creighton was one of three BIG EAST Conference schools in the preseason poll, joining No. 3 Connecticut and No. 18 Marquette. Two of Creighton’s December opponents, No. 1 Kansas (Dec. 4) and No. 2 Alabama (Dec. 14), are atop the poll. CU met preseason No. 13 Texas A&M on Nov. 27 in Las Vegas.
Creighton was also 14th in the preseason USA Today Coaches poll.
CU dropped out of both polls on Monday, Dec. 9.Among The Nation’s Best

Creighton has played 366 regular and postseason contests at CHI Health Center Omaha all-time in the now 22-year-old facility.
The Bluejays own a 303-63 (.828) record all-time at the facility.
Creighton’s Nov. 25, 2017 win over SIU Edwardsville was the program’s 200th at the facility, coming in its 242nd home game. CU’s 100th win came on Nov. 17, 2010, a 63-58 win over Louisiana.
Creighton has outscored its opponents 28,768-24,017 in games at CHI Health Center Omaha, an average margin of 12.98 points per game. Creighton has not trailed 93 different times, including twice this year (Kansas City, #1 Kansas).
Incredibly, Creighton hasn’t trailed in its home opener in 10 of the past 24 seasons (2000-01, 2002-03, 2003-04, 2004-05, 2005-06, 2009-10, 2011-12, 2014-15, 2016-17 and 2019-20).

Creighton is playing home games on a new basketball court designed to tell the story of Creighton University and the program’s proud history.
The court was designed by GLGR out of Beaverton, Ore., and produced by Ledford Sports Floors out of Jenks, Okla.
The court includes multiple intricate features that merit up-close inspection to gain a full appreciation for the attention to detail in the new Creighton-centric design.
• Six numbers will appear on the west sideline, three in front of each bench, to recognize the retired jersey numbers for No. 3 (Doug McDermott), No. 25 (Kyle Korver), No. 30 (Bob Harstad), No. 33 (Bob Portman), No. 35 (Paul Silas) and No. 45 (Bob Gibson).
• Within the eye of the Bluejay logo at midcourt will be the number 1916, a nod to Creighton’s first recognized year of intercollegiate basketball.
• Just inside the three-point line on the South end will be text of seven core Jesuit values, such as “Women and Men For and With Others”. It is believed that Creighton is the nation’s first Division I team with its school motto included inside its basketball court.
• Also inside the three-point line on the North side of the court are Heritage logos to honor Creighton’s history.
• The new color scheme also features an updated courtside gradient, in addition to a feather pattern inside the three-point line, a nod to Creighton’s Bluejay nickname.McDermott’s Coaching Tree
Greg McDermott‘s coaching tree owns 10 men who are currently a head coach at the Division I level. Seven of the 10 won 20+ games last season. Here’s a list:

Adjusted Offensive Efficiency: 109.4 (125th)
Adjusted Defensive Efficiency: 101.7 (87th)
Strength of Schedule: 39th
Minnesota Key Players:
G- Lu’Cye Patterson, Jr. 6’2, 202: 10.8 ppg, 3.6 rpg, 3.6 apg, 35.8% FG, 27.1% 3pt, 73.3% FT
The Minnesota native has played at both Missouri State and Charlotte but was more of a secondary ball handler averaging 14.6 points per game last year. Now in the B1G he’s being asked to play point guard and has been very good at limiting turnovers but is having a terrible shooting season. Although his outside shot has picked up as of late making 37% of his 3-point shots in B1G play.
G- Mike Mitchell, Sr. 6’2, 185: 11.2 ppg, 2.6 rpg, 3.0 apg, 37.0% FG, 36.5% 3pt, 73.7% FT
This is Mitchell’s 2nd season with Minnesota after he started his career playing under Lorenzo Romar at Pepperdine. He is known primarily as a long-range sniper and has shot 40% from deep for his career. This year he has cut way down on the turnovers but his shooting percentages are worse than last year across the board.
G- Isaac Asuma, Fr. 6’3, 196: 5.7 ppg, 2.8 rpg, 2.1 apg, 43.6% FG, 39.6% 3pt, 55.0% FT
It has been a great start for freshman Isaac Asuma who was a sub-100 recruit but is playing a ton of minutes as the 6th man for Minnesota. He is shooting 43.5% from deep in B1G play. Although it’s usually a bad sign if Minnesota relies too heavily on him because they’re 1-5 in games in which Asuma scores more than 6 points.
F- Femi Odukale, Sr. 6’6, 215: 6.2 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 3.4 apg, 42.3% FG, 21.4% 3pt, 46.7% FT
It has been a long and winding road for Odukale who transferred from Pittsburgh to Seton Hall to New Mexico State to Minnesota. He has never been a great shooter but is shooting a career worst from both 3-point range and the free throw line. He leads Minnesota in assist rate playing a bit of a point forward role but also leads the team in turnovers by a wide margin so it’s not a bad thing for UW for him to have the ball. He’s their best wing defender and is 3rd on the team in blocks and 1st in steals.
C- Dawson Garcia, Sr. 6’11, 234: 19.8 ppg, 7.3 rpg, 1.1 bpg, 50.2% FG, 37.2% 3pt, 76.2% FT
Garcia is the star for Minnesota and a clear all-conference selection. He had a great freshman year at Marquette then fizzled at North Carolina before transferring home and playing 3 seasons for Minnesota averaging at least 15 points and 6.5 rebounds in each. He’s a true stretch 5 and can do it all. He’s one of just 4 players in the country averaging at least 19 points, 7 rebounds, 1 block, and 1 made 3 per game along with Rutgers’ Ace Bailey, Stanford’s Maxime Raynaud, and Duke’s Cooper Flagg. Garcia plays enough on the perimeter that he’s a terrible offensive rebounder for a 6’11 center but is a plus everywhere else.
The Outlook
Our long national (okay, extremely regional) nightmare is over. Washington finally gets to play a team that isn’t at the top of the conference standings. After 7 straight games against teams that rank in the top-32 at KenPom, Washington finally gets to play the team that is ranked the next worst in the league at 94th.
That doesn’t mean this one is going to be easy. Minnesota has a record that is close to Washington’s overall but they also have won 3 of their last 4 games. That includes home wins over Michigan and Oregon plus a road victory over Iowa. True, Minnesota got spanked at Michigan State in their most recent game but so did the Huskies in that same spot.
There are a lot of similarities in the roster makeup of these two teams. Both are extremely reliant on their star post player who leads the team in both points and rebounds per game. Both have starting lead guards from Minnesota who have struggled mightily to make outside shots this season (Tyree Ihenacho and Lu’Cye Patterson). Both have been terrible from the free throw line so far with UW at 305th and Minnesota 352nd nationally.
If there’s a positive for Minnesota’s offense other than the play of Garcia, it’s that they are generally a good passing team. The Golden Gophers rank 10th in the country in assist rate so they very rarely rely on isolation basketball. That will be a good test for the Huskies, who despite some shortcomings on the defensive end are 12th in opponent assist rate. Minnesota also ranks well-above average in turnover rate so their extra passes don’t result in a bunch of giveaways.
Teams don’t get a lot of fastbreak opportunities against Minnesota in part because of their ability to protect the ball and in part because of their tempo. They rank nearly last in the country in pace of play so Minnesota will concede some offensive rebounds to get back in transition and will also keep making the extra pass to chew up shot clock. You can’t rely on getting bailed out by Minnesota taking a quick 3 the first time it’s semi-available. They’re content to wait for the best open shot.
In the recent past it would be tempting to say that Dawson Garcia will carve up the Huskies inside. We’ll see if the return of Franck Kepnang means that Garcia will end up spending a lot more time on the perimeter where he is comfortable shooting from outside. If that’s the case, expect the Huskies to switch and play Osobor on Garcia with Kepnang guarding either Odukale or backup bigs Parker Fox and Frank Mitchell, none of whom are threats outside the paint.
When the Huskies have the ball they will need to be careful at the rim. Minnesota is top-30 nationally in block rate and all 4 of the players I just mentioned in the previous paragraph have a block rate over 3.5%. Only Kepnang and reserve KC Ibekwe are over that mark for the Huskies.
It’s tempting to pick Washington in this spot. Minnesota is by far the worst team they’ve played since a blowout win over NJIT in late December. If the Huskies play as well as they did against Maryland, Illinois, or UCLA then it should be enough to come away with a win. All of those games were at home though. We’ve only seen 2 road games outside the Pacific time zone for UW and they were 33 and 16-point losses. To teams much better than Minnesota but a 9 am body clock tipoff time worries me even with a week off between games.
Minnesota has shown they haven’t forgotten how to win a close game. They’re 7th nationally in D-1 experience. Their top-7 players in usage rate are all seniors and only one underclassman is a part of the rotation. It’s a veteran team even if there are only a few returning contributors. Washington’s only prior game against Minnesota was a heart-breaking loss on a contested 3-pointer following a travel with 2.1 seconds left back in 2018. I’ll say it won’t be quite that painful but similarly close until UW proves it can get over the hump.
Prediction
Washington Huskies– 61, Minnesota Golden Gophers- 63
The Washington Men’s Basketball team is hitting the road to take on the Minnesota Golden Gophers in a crucial matchup. Both teams are looking to improve their standing in the conference and secure a spot in the postseason tournament. Here is a game preview and how to watch the action:Washington comes into this game with a record of 12-8 overall and 6-3 in conference play. The Huskies are led by star guard Quade Green, who is averaging 15.6 points per game. They have been playing well as of late, winning four of their last five games.
On the other side, the Minnesota Golden Gophers are 11-10 overall and 4-6 in conference play. They are led by guard Marcus Carr, who is averaging 19.1 points per game. The Golden Gophers have struggled recently, losing four of their last five games.
This game is crucial for both teams as they look to improve their standing in the conference and make a push for the postseason tournament. It will be a hard-fought battle between two talented teams.

Sri Lanka v Australia: first men’s cricket Test, day four – live | Australia cricket team
Key events
WICKET! Sri Lanka 165 all out (Vandersay c Starc b Kuhnemann 4)
Five wickets for Matt Kuhnemann! Vandersay hacks him high into the cover, where Starc takes a simple catch. Kuhnemann smiles a little sheepishly and his teammates charge across in celebration; they could barely be happier for him. He leads Australia off, raising the ball to the crowd after finishing with excellent figures of 18.2-3-63-5. He’ll be bowling again very soon.
52nd over: Sri Lanka 161-9 (Vandersay 0, Fernando 0) Now Lyon has seven men plus the keeper around the bat for Asitha Fernando, woh edges his first ball along the ground to second slip.
WICKET! Sri Lanka 161-9 (Peiris c Inglis b Lyon 5)
Nathan Lyon makes short work of the left-handed Nishan Peiris, who slashes a boundary before bat-padding a defensive stroke to short leg. Josh Inglis moves smartly to his right to take the catch.
Australia’s spinners have skittled Sri Lanka’s feeble lower order on day four of the first Test.
Photograph: Buddhika Weerasinghe/Getty Images51st over: Sri Lanka 157-8 (Vandersay 0, Peiris 1) There are six fielders round the bat for the new batter Peiris: short leg, gully, slip, leg slip, leg gully and short leg. An inside-edge lands just short of leg gully.
WICKET! Sri Lanka 156-8 (Jayasuriya st Carey b Kuhnemann 0)
Another one. Jayasuriya runs past a lovely delivery that pitches on middle and growls past the edge; Alex Carey does the rest. Sri Lanka have lost three for none in 13 balls and Matthew Kuhnemann is one wicket away from his second Test five-for.
Prabath Jayasuriya is about to see himself stumped by Alex Carey as Sri Lanka crumble on day four. Photograph: Robert Cianflone/Getty Images 50th over: Sri Lanka 156-7 (Jayasuriya 0, Vandersay 0) There’s surely no doubt Australia will enforce the follow-on when the time comes. It’s not like they need to give the seamers a break, or that there’s any risk of them losing the game with a lead of almost 500.
WICKET! Sri Lanka 156-7 (Chandimal LBW b Lyon 72)
The change of angle works for Nathan Lyon, who has dismissed Chandimal for only the second time in Tests. Chandimal missed a reverse sweep and was hit on the back thigh by a lovely delivery that curved onto off and middle and turned sharply.
Chandimal reviewed, mainly because he’s the last remaining batter, but it was hitting leg stump and he’s on his way for a punchy 72.
Australia appeal successfully for the wicket of Dinesh Chandimal on day four of the First Test. Photograph: Robert Cianflone/Getty Images 49th over: Sri Lanka 156-6 (Chandimal 72, Jayasuriya 0) There’s isn’t much Sri Lankan batting left – Prabath Jayasuriya, the No8, has a Test average of 8.41 – so one wicket could bring five. Jayasuriya is beaten by his first two deliveries, both of which rip off the stumps to beat the edge.
WICKET! Sri Lanka 156-6 (Kusal Mendis c Murphy b Kuhnemann 21)
Kusal Mendis falls into the trap. Australia were happy for him to slog-sweep against the spin, knowing he could easily top-edge it. That’s exactly what happened and Todd Murphy took a excellent running catch at deepish midwicket.

Photograph: Eranga Jayawardena/AP 48th over: Sri Lanka 156-5 (Chandimal 72, Kusal Mendis 22) A great stat from the host broadcaster. Chandimal has a head-to-head average of 221 against Nathan Lyon in Test cricket. Make that 223 after a couple of singles in this over. Lyon has moved around the wicket to Chandimal but not Mendis.
47th over: Sri Lanka 152-5 (Chandimal 70, Kusal Mendis 19) Mendis fetches Kuhnemann from well outside off stump, slog-sweeping through midwicket for four. Australia won’t mind that with the ball turning away from the bat.
46th over: Sri Lanka 145-5 (Chandimal 68, Kusal Mendis 14) Mendis lunges at a beautiful delivery from Lyon that zips past the edge. Carey has the bails off in a flash but Mendis’s back foot stayed grounded. It feels like a wicket is imminent.
45th over: Sri Lanka 144-5 (Chandimal 67, Kusal Mendis 14) Kuhnemann is getting bounce as well as turn and has started very well. Chandimal, surprised by a ball that spits from middle stump, does well to soften his hands and drop it short of the fielder who has just been moved to silly point.

Photograph: Robert Cianflone/Getty Images England Women have had a better morning at the MCG, taking the last five Australian wickets for nine runs. They are miles behind, though, and there’s every chance Australia will complete a whitewash today.
44th over: Sri Lanka 143-5 (Chandimal 66, Kusal Mendis 14) Nathan Lyon’s first ball induces a top-edged sweep from Chandimal that lands safely. Mendis then crashes a pull into the left knee of Head at short leg. Oof, that looked painful.
Lyon has a slightly different field: slip, short leg and leg gully.
43rd over: Sri Lanka 138-5 (Chandimal 64, Kusal Mendis 11) Kuhnemann starts around the wicket, with two slips and a short leg for both batsmen. There’s some turn straight away, albeit relatively slow, and Chandimal and Mendis take a single apiece. A low-key start.
Nathan Lyon talks to our own Adam Collins
We can’t do anything about the weather. But we’ve rocked up here today and there’s some sunlight and some heat coming out of the ground. It’s gonna be a challenging morning and an exciting one.
We hope the pitch will deteriorate, you expect that on the subcontinent. Hopefully we’ll get a full day in today.
I’ve played against Dinesh [Chandimal] for a long time now – he’s a class player, isn’t he? Hopefully we can create some more problems for him to solve.
[On Matt Kuhnemann and Todd Murphy] Our preparation has been pretty spot on. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Dubai. Their young, they’re learning, they’re asking questions. It’s a pretty amazing group to be working with.
I’ve got nothing but love for the ground here at Galle. The Sri Lankan culture and people… it’s an amazing place to tour.
Nathan Lyon will be trying to spin Australia to victory over Sri Lanka on day four of the first Test. Photograph: Eranga Jayawardena/AP Less than ten minutes until play resumes. It looks a beautiful sunny day in Galle. There’s a small chance of rain this afternoon but apart from that the radar looks clear.
Weather permitting, there should be plenty of time for Australia to force victory in this game, almost 200 overs. That’s roughly a wicket every 13 overs on a pitch that is already offering a fair bit for the spinners.
The Women’s Ashes Test is about to resume at the MCG. Jonathan Howcroft is on duty for that one.
Preamble
Rob Smyth
Morning folks. Shall we try that one again? Only 27 overs were possible on the third day in Galle but the forecast is much better today and Australia should be able to push towards victory. All things being equal, there should be a sighting of an endangered tactic: the follow-on.
Sri Lanka will resume on 136 for 5, still a mildly terrifying 518 runs behind, with Dinesh Chandimal on 63 and Kusal Mendis on 10. Expect an early blast from Mitchell Starc and then spin, lots of spin.

Woodson: ‘Not right’ what Indiana men’s basketball fans are doing to struggling Galloway
As Trey Galloway missed another shot — his fourth in the first six minutes of Indiana men’s basketball’s 94-69 loss to Illinois on Jan. 14 — Hoosier fans booed the fifth-year senior and one-time crowd favorite.
When Galloway left the floor two seconds later, fans cheered. And when Galloway’s face appeared on the Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall big screen during a timeout, fans booed once more.
As an Indiana captain, Galloway is perhaps more exposed to blame and external scrutiny. Indiana head coach Mike Woodson is notoriously difficult on his captains — but he thinks fans have gone too far.
“It’s just not right that fans are doing what they’re doing to him,” Woodson said on his radio show Monday. “Because I think he’s working his butt off. He plays hard. He tries to do the right things. He doesn’t always get it right — I get that — but I love him to death. His teammates love him.”
Galloway used to receive the loudest ovations from fans during pregame introductions of the Hoosiers’ starting five. He’s started 12 games this season but has transitioned back to a bench role for Indiana’s past three games amid a rough patch magnified in the Hoosiers’ loss to Illinois.
The Culver, Indiana, native has played in each of Indiana’s 21 games, but he’s averaging 7.4 fewer minutes per game this season than last. His production has dropped from 10.6 points and 4.6 assists per game in 2023-24 to just 7.1 points and 4.1 assists per contest this year.
Galloway has shot at a better clip from distance, hitting 35% of his triples after making only 26% last season, but his overall performance from the field has fallen from 46.6% to 41%.
Part of the reason for Galloway’s struggles stems from the knee injury he suffered at the end of the 2023-24 season. He underwent offseason knee surgery and didn’t participate in summer workouts, which he noted after Indiana’s 82-69 win over USC on Jan. 8 led to what he implied was a lack of chemistry early in the season.
Woodson said Jan. 21 that Galloway’s surgery will likely take over one year to fully recover from. The injury itself occurred late in the Hoosiers’ regular season, as Galloway played only seven minutes before exiting in pain during a 65-64 victory over Michigan State on March 10. Galloway didn’t play in the Big Ten Tournament the week after Indiana topped the Spartans.
Galloway faced questions in the lead-up to the season about his health. He didn’t start practicing until late September and didn’t reach full levels of participation until the second week of October.
Due to his focus on recovery during the offseason and subsequent lack of time on task with his teammates, Galloway’s been behind the 8 ball throughout the campaign. Still, Woodson holds his veteran leader in high regards.
“Listen, I love everything about Trey Galloway. I’ve always loved Trey Galloway,” Woodson said on his radio show. “Since I’ve had him, he’s been probably one of the hardest working young men that I’ve coached.”
The 6-foot-5, 205-pound Galloway has battled highs and lows on the court this season. He’s scored in double figures eight times, headlined by an 18-point outburst Nov. 29 against Providence College, but he’s been held scoreless three times and recorded one or fewer field goals in five games.
Indiana has experienced a similarly rocky season. As losers of four of their last five games, the Hoosiers are 14-7 overall and 5-5 in the Big Ten entering their 8 p.m. tipoff Friday against Purdue at Mackey Arena in West Lafayette, Indiana.
For Galloway, Friday’s tipoff marks the last time he’ll play Indiana’s biggest rival on the road. If his first 21 games are any indication, Galloway will blend moments of brilliance with intermittent frustration.
Hoosier fans may lose hope. Woodson never will.
“I know when I put him out there, he’s going to work his butt off and play hard for us,” Woodson said. “He makes mistakes just like all players make mistakes, but some of those mistakes, you have to live with them. I’ll go to war with Trey all day long every day.”
Indiana men’s basketball coach Mike Woodson spoke out against the treatment of struggling player Jordan Galloway by fans, calling it “not right.” Galloway, who has been struggling on the court in recent games, has faced criticism and negativity from fans, which Woodson believes is unjustified.In a post-game press conference, Woodson expressed his disappointment in the fans’ behavior towards Galloway, stating that the young player is working hard and doing his best to contribute to the team. Woodson emphasized the importance of supporting players through their struggles and not adding unnecessary pressure or negativity.
Woodson also called on fans to remember that these are student-athletes who are still developing and learning, and that criticism should be constructive and respectful. He urged fans to show empathy and understanding towards Galloway and all players, acknowledging that everyone has ups and downs in their performances.
As the head coach of the Indiana men’s basketball team, Woodson’s words carry weight and serve as a reminder to fans to support their team in a positive and respectful manner. Let’s rally behind Galloway and the rest of the team as they work through challenges and strive for success on the court. #GoHoosiers
