When former Creighton star Ty-Shon Alexander opted out of his senior season and took his 17 points a game to the NBA, the prevailing theory, as far as the Bluejays’ offense was concerned, was that BIG EAST Preseason Player of the Year Marcus Zagarowski would step in and take over Creighton’s run-and-gun show and make a spirited run at the conference’s regular-season top player honors.
But as Zegarowski continues to work himself back into form following a knee injury he suffered just before last season’s abbreviated BIG EAST Tournament, the Bluejays, 7-2 and ranked No. 11 in the current AP Top 25 poll, have proven once again to be more than a one-man show.
