Creighton Basketball Coach Sets Wins Record

Creighton University achieved a significant milestone as head coach Greg McDermott became the winningest coach in the men's basketball program's history, securing his 328th victory with a decisive 78-43 win over Houston Christian. The Bluejays dominated the game, improving their record to 4-0, while Houston Christian fell to 1-2, struggling significantly with a shooting accuracy of just 25%. Ryan Kalkbrenner led Creighton with 16 points, while Steven Ashworth added 13, showcasing Creighton's efficient offense and strong defense that limited the Huskies to a mere 12 points in the first half—the lowest total of any Division I team this season. The game marked a defensive highlight for Creighton as they held Houston Christian to only 5 field goals in the first half during an impressive run that saw the Huskies score just 2 points over a span of 13 minutes. The Huskies, recorded to be 0-16 all-time against ranked opponents, will look to bounce back when they face Division III Rockford on Saturday, while Creighton hosts Kansas City on the same day.
