OMAHA, Neb. -- NCAA.com correspondent Andy Katz has named Creighton guard Marcus Zegarowski as his National Player of the Week.

The junior averaged 17.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists last week as Creighton picked up double-digit wins vs. Georgetown and No. 5 Villanova.

Zegarowski opened his week with nine points, six rebounds, and four assists as Creighton defeated Georgetown on the road, 63-48. He also had two of Creighton's school-record 19 steals in the triumph.

Zegarowski finished his week with a season-high 25 points in Creighton's 86-70 victory vs. No. 5 Villanova and added five assists and three rebounds. He made 10-of-18 field goal attempts in the victory, and his 17 points in the first half matched the most by a Bluejay all season before intermission.

Winners of six out of seven games, Creighton is now 16-5 on the season and 12-4 in BIG EAST play. The Bluejays are idle this week before returning to the court on Feb. 24th for an 8 p.m. home game vs. DePaul.
