2016-17 Season Recap
2016-17 Season Recap The Creighton men’s basketball team spent eight weeks in the top-10, defeated four ranked teams, returned to the BIG EAST Tournament championship game and played in the NCAA Tournament during the 2016-17 season. Creighton entered the season ranked 22nd nationally in the Associated Press poll, but a red-hot start quickly catapulted the team back among the nation’s elite. Put to the test on a national stage for the first time, Creighton beat No. 9 Wisconsin in the second game of the season, then went to the U.S. Virgin Islands and won the Paradise Jam with victories over Washington State, North Carolina State and Ole Miss. The Bluejays returned home to topple Loyola (Md.), Buffalo and Akron to improve to 8-0, then picked up a sixth consecutive double-digit victory over Nebraska with a 77-62 win in Lincoln. CU moved to 11-0 with wins over Longwood and Oral Roberts, and closed out pre-conference play on December 20 with a 96-85 win at Arizona State.
BIG EAST play began with an 89-75 win over defending league tournament champion Seton Hall as CU moved to 13-0. An electric crowd at CenturyLink Center Omaha on New Year’s Eve saw defending national champion and top-ranked Villanova come to town in the second matchup in league history among unbeaten teams. The teams played a close contest before the Wildcats pulled away down the stretch to post an 80-70 victory. Creighton regrouped with an unbeaten road trip in wins at St. John’s and Providence, then came home to trounce No. 12 Butler. After a win over Division II Truman State, Creighton found itself ranked seventh nationally in both the AP and coaches polls, the best mark in program history. Creighton won at No. 22 Xavier to improve to 18-1 on January 16th, but the victory didn’t come without a heavy cost. Midway through the first half, star point guard Maurice Watson Jr. suffered an anterior cruciate ligament tear, ending the season for the nation’s leader in assists and assists per game at the time.

2016-17 Season Recap
Creighton’s 2016-17 seniors included manager Connor Schultz, Cole Huff, Zach Hanson and Isaiah Zierden.
With Watson out of the line-up, the Bluejays split playing time between Isaiah Zierden, Davion Mintz and Tyler Clement the rest of the season. Creighton lost to Marquette and at Georgetown while attempting to find its way. The Jays snapped that skid with an 83-66 win in the Creighton vs. Cancer Pink Out game, then won its 20th game of the campaign with a 76-67 victory at No. 16 Butler. The win at Butler started a stretch where CU alternated wins and losses over a six-game stretch.
CU closed out the regular-season with an 82-68 wire-to-wire victory over St. John’s on Senior Day before falling at Marquette to drop into a four-way tie for third place in the BIG EAST. Creighton was the sixth seed in the BIG EAST Tournament while facing third-seeded Providence, even though both teams had identical 10-8 league records. The Bluejays overcame a halftime deficit to beat the Friars in the quarterfinals, then did the same thing one night later to beat Xavier in the semifinals. The victory over the Musketeers was among the season’s most dramatic, as Marcus
Foster drilled a game-winning three-pointer with 6.6 seconds left to defeat a team that eventually reached the Elite Eight. The victory advanced CU to a title game match-up against Villanova, a contest that was won by the Wildcats 74-60. Creighton would be awarded a sixth seed to the 2017 NCAA Tournament, the program’s first trip since 2014 and 20th overall in program history. The Bluejays were shipped to Sacramento, only to fall to Rhode Island in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Foster was a unanimous First Team All-BIG EAST selection in his first year on the court for the Bluejays. He scored 18.2 points per game, and his 638 points set a school-record for a Bluejay newcomer. Another newcomer, redshirt freshman Justin Patton, made an immediate impact en route to BIG EAST Freshman of the Year honors. Patton averaged 12.9 points and 6.2 rebounds per game and ranked second nationally with 67.6 percent shooting from the field. Patton also had 72 of the team’s 144 dunks. His rapid rise quickly garnered the interest of professional scouts, and after the season he was the 16th pick in the NBA Draft. Fellow Omaha native Khyri Thomas also picked up some BIG EAST hardware, sharing BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year accolades. Thomas averaged 12.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game while developing into one of the league’s top allaround players. Senior Zach Hanson earned the team’s Most Inspirational Award at the year-end Athletics Hall of Fame banquet.
Creighton started 13-0 last season, including a win over No. 9 Wisconsin in the Gavitt Tipoff Games. 67

2016-17 Game-By-Game Plus/Minus Chart
Game-by-Game Plus/Minus Chart The plus/minus figure is a comparison of the Bluejays’ points scored (plus) vs. their points allowed (minus) while a specific player is on the floor. For example, if Zach Hanson entered the game in the first half with Creighton trailing by five and he departs two minutes later with the Jays ahead by three, he earns a +8 for that stint. These results are tabulated for every player at the conclusion of each game, and also expressed cumulatively. Underlined totals indicate that player led team that night.

BIG EAST play began with an 89-75 win over defending league tournament champion Seton Hall as CU moved to 13-0. An electric crowd at CenturyLink Center Omaha on New Year’s Eve saw defending national champion and top-ranked Villanova come to town in the second matchup in league history among unbeaten teams. The teams played a close contest before the Wildcats pulled away down the stretch to post an 80-70 victory. Creighton regrouped with an unbeaten road trip in wins at St. John’s and Providence, then came home to trounce No. 12 Butler. After a win over Division II Truman State, Creighton found itself ranked seventh nationally in both the AP and coaches polls, the best mark in program history. Creighton won at No. 22 Xavier to improve to 18-1 on January 16th, but the victory didn’t come without a heavy cost. Midway through the first half, star point guard Maurice Watson Jr. suffered an anterior cruciate ligament tear, ending the season for the nation’s leader in assists and assists per game at the time.

2016-17 Season Recap
Creighton’s 2016-17 seniors included manager Connor Schultz, Cole Huff, Zach Hanson and Isaiah Zierden.
With Watson out of the line-up, the Bluejays split playing time between Isaiah Zierden, Davion Mintz and Tyler Clement the rest of the season. Creighton lost to Marquette and at Georgetown while attempting to find its way. The Jays snapped that skid with an 83-66 win in the Creighton vs. Cancer Pink Out game, then won its 20th game of the campaign with a 76-67 victory at No. 16 Butler. The win at Butler started a stretch where CU alternated wins and losses over a six-game stretch.
CU closed out the regular-season with an 82-68 wire-to-wire victory over St. John’s on Senior Day before falling at Marquette to drop into a four-way tie for third place in the BIG EAST. Creighton was the sixth seed in the BIG EAST Tournament while facing third-seeded Providence, even though both teams had identical 10-8 league records. The Bluejays overcame a halftime deficit to beat the Friars in the quarterfinals, then did the same thing one night later to beat Xavier in the semifinals. The victory over the Musketeers was among the season’s most dramatic, as Marcus
Foster drilled a game-winning three-pointer with 6.6 seconds left to defeat a team that eventually reached the Elite Eight. The victory advanced CU to a title game match-up against Villanova, a contest that was won by the Wildcats 74-60. Creighton would be awarded a sixth seed to the 2017 NCAA Tournament, the program’s first trip since 2014 and 20th overall in program history. The Bluejays were shipped to Sacramento, only to fall to Rhode Island in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Foster was a unanimous First Team All-BIG EAST selection in his first year on the court for the Bluejays. He scored 18.2 points per game, and his 638 points set a school-record for a Bluejay newcomer. Another newcomer, redshirt freshman Justin Patton, made an immediate impact en route to BIG EAST Freshman of the Year honors. Patton averaged 12.9 points and 6.2 rebounds per game and ranked second nationally with 67.6 percent shooting from the field. Patton also had 72 of the team’s 144 dunks. His rapid rise quickly garnered the interest of professional scouts, and after the season he was the 16th pick in the NBA Draft. Fellow Omaha native Khyri Thomas also picked up some BIG EAST hardware, sharing BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year accolades. Thomas averaged 12.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game while developing into one of the league’s top allaround players. Senior Zach Hanson earned the team’s Most Inspirational Award at the year-end Athletics Hall of Fame banquet.
Creighton started 13-0 last season, including a win over No. 9 Wisconsin in the Gavitt Tipoff Games. 67

2016-17 Game-By-Game Plus/Minus Chart
Game-by-Game Plus/Minus Chart The plus/minus figure is a comparison of the Bluejays’ points scored (plus) vs. their points allowed (minus) while a specific player is on the floor. For example, if Zach Hanson entered the game in the first half with Creighton trailing by five and he departs two minutes later with the Jays ahead by three, he earns a +8 for that stint. These results are tabulated for every player at the conclusion of each game, and also expressed cumulatively. Underlined totals indicate that player led team that night.
