NOVEMBER 13, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Arthur Kaluma - Mediocre in win Kaluma accumulated 12 points (4-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT) and six rebounds in 23 minutes during Thursday's 96-61 victory over North Dakota.
Impact Kaluma has combined to shoot 11-for-28 across Creighton's two victories thus far, pairing his scoring production with 14 rebounds. Interestingly, he's yet to log an assist, steal or block after averaging 1.3, 0.6 and 0.6 -- respectively -- last season.

Ryan Kalkbrenner - Erupts in win Kalkbrenner closed with 24 points (10-11 FG, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and two assists over 23 minutes during Thursday's 96-61 win over North Dakota.
Impact Kalkbrenner was uber-efficient while leading all scorers. Kalkbrenner averaged 13.1 points, 7.7 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game last season, but he posted only four 20-point contests. It appears the junior could be in store for more booms in 2022-23.

John Christofilis - Will redshirt Christofilis will redshirt Creighton's 2022-23 season.
Impact Christofilis is expected to continue being a sophomore during the Bluejays' 2023-24 season. Currently, they prefer using Ryan Nembhard and Trey Alexander more than anyone else rostered. Both are sophomores who averaged 33-to-35 minutes as freshman starters.
