Ryan Kalkbrenner - Quality contributions Kalkbrenner finished Saturday's 66-61 victory over Villanova with 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 37 minutes.
Impact Kalkbrenner and Trey Alexander (27 points) were the only Blue Jays to exceed 10 points, but Villanova's slow pace -- bottom-30 in the country -- was certainly evident as a factor. Kalkbrenner has been a shot-blocking menace in Big East play, averaging 3.1 swats per game.

Trey Alexander - Catalyzes victory Alexander totaled 27 points (8-15 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Saturday's 66-61 win over Villanova.
Impact Alexander was responsible for nearly half of Creighton's points, fueled by hot shooting from beyond the arc. Saturday marked Alexander's first boom since a 32-point effort against DePaul on Christmas, but the sophomore has scored double-digit points in 10 straight games. Saturday also marked just the fourth game this season with three-plus made triples for Alexander.

Georgetown hosts Creighton after Spears' 25-point game
Georgetown hosts the Creighton Bluejays after Amir "Primo" Spears scored 25 points in Georgetown's 75-73 loss to the St. John's (NY) Red StormFEBRUARY 1, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Trey Alexander - Consistent scoring threat Alexander ended Saturday's 84-67 win over Xavier with 13 points (4-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and two assists across 31 minutes.
Impact Alexander has cooled down a bit since going off for 32 points Christmas Day against DePaul, but he's still compiled an impressive streak of eight consecutive games in double figures, over which he's averaged 16.3 ppg for the BlueJays. The ancillary stats may not always be as consistent as his scoring, which tends to make backcourt running mate Ryan Nembhard the superior fantasy option, but both are in line for a favorable matchup this week when Creighton heads to Georgetown.
