P’Allen Stinnett (12.6 ppg.) swept MVC Newcomer and Freshman of the Year honors after leading Creighton in scoring, while senior Dane Watts (11.3 ppg.) led the team with 6.4 rebounds per game. Booker Woodfox (9.6 ppg.) was named MVC Sixth Man of the Year as the leader for a bench that outscored CU’s starters by 76 points for the season.

Shuttle Service To Qwest Center Omaha The State Farm Shuttle presented by the Creighton Birdcage and State Farm Insurance will provide complimentary transportation ser- vice from the CU campus to Qwest Center Omaha for all men’s basketball home games this season. The service is available to all fans, not just Creighton students. The shuttle will start 75 minutes before tip- off and shuttles will continue to operate the route during the game. The three designated stops for pick-up around the CU campus are: 24th & California (nearside/southbound); 20th & Cass (near- side/eastbound) and at Billy Blue’s Alumni Grill (outside the new Mike & Josie Harper Center in the turnaround which is on the east side of the building). The shuttle will then go eastbound on Capitol Avenue and then go north up 10th Street for drop-off at the Qwest Center Omaha arena entrance. The route is designed for each shuttle driver to make a roundtrip every 15 minutes.

Game-by-Game Plus/Minus Chart The plus/minus figure is a comparison of the Bluejays' points scored (plus) vs. their points allowed (minus) while a specific player is on the floor. For example, if Cavel Witter enters the game in the first half with Creighton trailing by three and he departs two minutes later with the Jays ahead by four, he earns a +7 for that stint. These results are tabulated for every player at the conclusion of each game, and also expressed cumulatively. Underlined totals indicate that player led team that night.
