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.

In midst of hot run Nembhard accumulated 15 points (6-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and four assists across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 75-62 win over Seton Hall.

Impact Nembhard continues to be a do-it-all point guard for the Blue Jays, as in addition to leading the team with 5.2 apg, he's also reached double-digit scoring in six consecutive games -- a streak that includes two double-doubles and a 5.2 rpg average. He also plays the most minutes on the team, and is third in three-pointers made. In only his sophomore season, he has a great chance to lead the Blue Jays on a deep tournament run.

Impact Nembhard's season-high volume is encouraging, but the sophomore was inefficient, especially from inside the arc. Creighton's bench combined to score just three points, indicating how heavy the usage is for all Blue Jays' starters.

Leads charge in tough matchup Nembhard had 25 points (6-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 10-12 FT), six rebounds and five assists over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 90-87 win over Arkansas.

Impact Nembhard's season got off to a bit of a slow start from a scoring perspective, but he collected 16 against a stout Texas Tech defense Monday before pouring in 25 against an equally-tough opponent in Arkansas. The effort also happened to be a career high. Now, Nembhard and the Blue Jays will look to stay perfect when they take on Arizona in the Maui Invitational Championship on Wednesday.
