Also in double-figures for CU were Johnathan Lawson (12 points), Trey Alexander (11), Baylor Scheierman (11) and Mason Miller (10).
Creighton made 16-of-37 three-pointers and never trailed in the victory, outscoring Raw Talent Elite 48-0 from behind the arc.
Creighton led 29-15 after the first quarter, 52-31 at the half and 82-42 after three quarters.
All 16 players on the team collected at least five minutes of action, with 13 of those men scoring. Creighton won the rebound battle 66-31, forced 14 turnovers and held Raw Talent Elite to 0-for-14 shooting from downtown.
Lawson made a difference early on, coming off the bench to bury three trifectas in a span of 74 seconds to help Creighton build a double-figure margin. Kalkbrenner also scored nine points in the first quarter.
Seven different Bluejays cracked the scoring column in the second quarter, led by six points from senior Baylor Scheierman.
King scored 10 points and Trey Alexander added eight points in CU's third quarter, which featured four dunks.
