Scouting Creighton (6-1)
The first quarter of each of the Bluejays' first seven contests has been pivotal. In Creighton's six victories, the Bluejays have held at least a five point edge, while in the lone loss the Bluejays trailed 22-9.
The Bluejays are led by the trio of Lauren Jensen (18.1 ppg), Emma Ronsiek (16.4 ppg) and Morgan Maly (16.3). The trio are also each averaging 30 minutes per game.
In the last game the Bluejays were unstoppable on offense with 115 points in a 115-62 win over Northern Iowa.
The surprising statistic for the Bluejays thus far has been their defense. Creighton held their first six opponents to at least six points below their respective season average, limiting Northern Iowa to one point below the Panthers average.
Keys To the Game on December 10 (Wyoming)
Scoring Explosion Sets D.J. Sokol Arena Record
Creighton's 115-62 win over Northern Iowa on December 3 set the D.J. Sokol Arena record for points scored by a single team. It was the first time any squad had topped the triple digit mark. The game also saw the Bluejays equal the program record for points in a regulation contest, matching the 115 point effort in an 115-63 win over Oral Roberts on December 6, 1989. The only time in Bluejay history that saw more points scored was Creighton's 117-108 win over Loyola-Chicago in quadruple
overtime on January 12, 1986.
The win over the Panthers was the 20th time in school history the Bluejays reached triple digits and just the third time under head coach Jim Flanery.
Importance of a Good Start
The first seven games of the 2023-24 season have been dictated by the opening quarter.
Game 1: Led North Dakota State 16-4, won 75-52
Game 2: Led South Dakota 29-14, won 81-55
Game 3: Trailed Green Bay 22-9, lost 65-53
Game 4: Led Nebraska 28-23, won 79-74
Game 5: Led Georgia Tech 19-8, won 57-46
Game 6: Led Michigan State 24-18, won 83-69
Game 7: Led Northern Iowa 35-15, won 115-62
Bluejays See 30 in a Quarter For 18th Time
Since women's basketball moved to quarters prior to the 2015-16 season, Creighton has seen themselves or the opposition reach 30 points in one frame 18 times.
The Bluejays have done so 11 times, while their opponents have posted 30 or more seven times. Ironically the last three games have seen Creighton post 30+ in both the first and third quarters.

Bluejay WBB and MBB Post Road Wins Over Nebraska in Same Season For First Time in Program History
Earlier in the 2023-24 season Bluejay WBB collected their fourth road victory over local rival Nebraska, 79-74 on November 19. With the Creighton MBB also posting a win in Lincoln, 89-69 on December 3, it is the first time both Bluejay squads posted road wins over the Huskers in the same season. It was also just the fifth time that both MBB and WBB played in Lincoln in the same season and first since the 1987-88 season.
Four Bluejays Programs Reach Sweet 16 Since 2021-22
Since the start of 2021-22, Creighton is one of just two Division I schools to have teams reach the Sweet 16 in Women's Basketball, Men's Soccer, Men's Basketball and Volleyball. UCLA is the other.
The Women's Basketball Team kicked things off by reaching the Elite Eight during March of 2022. Men's Soccer followed by reaching the College Cup in December of 2022. Men's Basketball continued the thrill ride by getting to the Elite Eight in March of 2023, while the Women's Volleyball squad just saw its season end in the Sweet 16 on Thursday.

Keys To the Game on December 10 (Wyoming)
- Adjusting to the Altitude: The Bluejays will be traveling out to Wyoming one day early, on Friday, in an effort to adjust to playing at the higher altitude.
- Limiting Second Chance Points: Wyoming's leading scorer Allyson Fertig is a 6'4'' center that averages 13.3 points and 8.7 rebounds per game. The Bluejays must keep her and the rest of the Cowgirls from easy second chance opportunities.
- Stretch the Floor with Maly and Ronsiek: The Bluejay posts are unique in their ability to connect from outside. Creighton must force Fertig to guard the three-point line to open up the inside.
