Ryan Nembhard - Good bounce-back game Nembhard amassed 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds, six assists and two steals over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 99-59 victory over Georgetown.

Impact Nembhard co-led Creighton in assists, while supplying an efficient shooting night. Notably, Creighton was up 51-24 at the half, removing any need for normal starter workloads. After scoring just two points (1-6 FG) in an ugly loss to Villanova on Saturday, Nembhard appears back on track.

College basketball highlights: Indiana, Villanova pull off huge upsets

Another Saturday meant another action-packed men's and women's college hoops slate on FOX and FS1. Here are the top plays!

FEBRUARY 26, 2023

Trey Alexander - Slump continues Alexander finished with eight points (3-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Saturday's 79-67 loss to Villanova.

Impact In an acute extension of his slump, Alexander is averaging just 8.3 points per game on 29.0 percent shooting from the field and 26.7 percent shooting from beyond the arc over his last three games. The sophomore's workload remains consistent, and his season-long 44.4/40.5/79.4 percent shooting slash makes him a bounce-back candidate.

FEBRUARY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ryan Kalkbrenner - Plays well despite another loss Kalkbrenner racked up 18 points (7-9 FG, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and two blocks over 33 minutes during Saturday's 79-67 loss to Villanova.

Impact Only Kalkbrenner and Arthur Kaluma (19 points) exceeded 10 points for Creighton in a stagnant defeat. Kalkbrenner is amid an extremely efficient stretch, connecting on 69.7 percent of his shots en route to 14.3 points per game over his last four contests. He's also averaging 2.5 blocks per game over that span.

No. 19 Creighton visits Moore and Villanova

FEBRUARY 24, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Arthur Kaluma - Quiet in home loss Kaluma posted two points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 73-71 loss to Marquette.

Impact Kaluma's electrifying dunk opened the game's scoring, but the 6-7 sophomore forward wasn't heard from since and ended up logging a season-low 16 minutes in a pivotal home defeat. Kaluma has strong usage numbers on paper, but if the Creighton bench is going to start getting more involved at his expense, his fantasy value could be set to take a plunge down the stretch.

FEBRUARY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Baylor Scheierman - Comeback bid falls short Scheierman registered 18 points (7-16 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 73-71 loss to Marquette.

Impact Scheierman registered his second-best scoring total of the month and fourth double-digit effort in his last five games, but his brief stints of effectiveness were ultimately not enough to prevent a second-half meltdown. Still, the South Dakota State is a pivotal piece in a tight Creighton rotation, checking in at third in scoring (13.1 ppg) in a lineup in which all five starters average double figures.
