OMAHA, Neb. – Creighton Basketball guard Alex O'Connell is immediately eligible following a vote by the NCAA Division I Council.
O'Connell, a senior guard from Roswell, Ga., has not played in Creighton's first six games this season while sitting out after an off-season transfer from Duke University. He had been awaiting a ruling on a waiver that Creighton had filed on his behalf with the NCAA.
While at Duke, O'Connell appeared in 101 games, including 14 starts. He contributed 431 points and 182 rebounds for the Blue Devils with single-game highs of 20 points, seven rebounds and four steals.
