Creighton has had eight players score 40 or more points in a game, and it’s a list that includes many of the biggest names in program history. Bob Portman. Eddie Cole. Tim Powers. Benoit Benjamin. Rodney Buford. Chad Gallagher. Doug McDermott. Cavel Witter.
Cavel Witter?
The other seven are all members of Creighton’s 39-member 1,000 point club; Witter scored 809 in a wildly inconsistent three-year career that saw him score in double figures 37 times and score two or fewer points 19 times. Case in point: exactly two weeks prior to this game, Witter was held scoreless in the first meeting against Bradley.
