The Creighton men’s basketball team had one of their best scoring outputs of the season as they jumped out early against Illinois State and did not look back. The Bluejays are now 21-2 after a 102-74 win over the Redbirds.
Creighton jumped out to an early 17-2 lead in the first few minutes of the game. Illinois State did not have an answer for Creighton’s swarming defense that caused a few early turnovers as well.
Doug McDermott led a balanced scoring attack with 25 points shooting 9-of-11 from the field and 3-of-3 from behind the arc. Six players finished in double figures–Grant Gibbs had 12, Jahenns Manigat and Will Artino had 11, and Josh Jones and Gregory Echenique each had 10.
