Saturday also marked just the fourth game this season with three-plus made triples for Alexander.

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.
