KENNESAW, Ga. – For the third straight season, Kennesaw State and Creighton will face off in men's basketball, as the two teams will meet Thursday night at 8:30 pm in the CHI Health Center Omaha. Thursday's game will be televised nationally by FS1, with Vince Welch and Nick Bahe on the call.
A FEW NOTES
- The Bluejays won the past two meetings by 26 and 35 points, but this is a different Creighton squad that lost several key players from last year's team. In its season-opening win, the Bluejays had to rally from a halftime deficit to post a 90-77 victory over Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
- KSU meanwhile dropped its season-opener Tuesday at Iowa State 84-73, though it was a competitive ballgame the entire night. The Owls in fact were within six under the four-minute mark, but the Cyclones made several long-distance shots to hold on for the win.
- Four Owls posted in double-figures in the opener, led by junior guard Terrell Burden, who posted a game-high 21 points while also sinking a career-high 13 from the free-throw line.
- Two Owls made their debut for KSU Tuesday, as senior guard Jamir Moultrie came off the bench to score 12 points including going 3-for-3 from behind the arc. Junior forward Demond Robinson meanwhile was the starting post player for the Owls and anchored KSU's defensive effort in the paint.
- Kennesaw State is looking for a turnaround year this season, after bringing back over 90% over its scoring production and total minutes from last season. The Owls rank 16th in the nation in both categories, bringing back 93.7% of its total points and 91.8% of its total minutes.
