These first few games for the Creighton men’s basketball team are meant to help solidify some of the chemistry for the Bluejays before they dive into the meat of the schedule. That fine tuning appears to be putting things together pretty nicely as Creighton gets the 94-65 win against Holy Cross on Monday night.
Ryan Kalkbrenner had 22 points on perfect 10-of-10 shooting on the night, Ryan Nembhard had a career high 12 assists, and Ben Shtolzberg got some very productive minutes for most of the second half as he chipped in 13 points of his own.
WBR photographer MIke Spomer was on hand for the game and captures the fun in photos. Here are a few below, but you can see the full gallery here:
