Greg McDermott notes that Steven Ashworth was challenged to make five threes in a row from different spots on the floor without missing two during practice this week.
"He made 33 in a row," McDermott said with a grin.
Ed Cooley gives high praise to Creighton in his presser.
"[Creighton] could have beat the Celtics today."
"I think [Scheierman] is an NBA player."
He closes out his press conference telling everybody to appreciate Greg McDermott and the great job he has done.
Coach McDermott is making it clear that the refs were not the reason Creighton lost. "You win with class, and you lose with class."
Creighton is doing just that.

R2, Kalkbrenner, and Art on Trey Alexander with no Big East honors "Us knowing Trey, he is going to prove a lot of people wrong. You saw what we saw at the end of last year. But none of us are worried about individual honors in our program"
Creighton freshman Arthur Kaluma won his first Big East Freshman of the Week honors for his 16 point, 7 rebound, 2 block night against Butler.
That makes 8 of the 13 weekly awards given to Creighton Freshman.

What a performance from the Bluejays.
The best game of the year and this isn't the first time we've said this.
I can barely contain my excitement for tomorrow night!!

Steven Ashworth on his hot shooting in the second half- "It's always gonna take time coming to a new situation, but my teammates have had the upmost confidence in me."
Creighton picks up their 4th Quad 1 win in 59-55 victory at UConn. Without Ryan Kalkbrenner for the majority of the second half, Creighton's team defense and free throw shooting led them to victory. Game Recap here: .
Four different Bluejays play 48+ minutes, with Scheierman playing 55 as Creighton defeats Seton Hall 97-94 in triple overtime. Kalkbrenner finishes with 28, 9, 7 blocks.
