I set out here to see what the loss of Martin Krampelj would mean to Creighton and thus to Xavier when the two teams faced off tomorrow. Krampelj is a 6’9”, 220-pound sophomore big man who was shooting 75% from inside the arc and was unquestionably the Bluejays’ best rebounder. Now he’s out for the year with a torn ACL.
In looking at the box score from the first time these two teams played, it doesn’t look like Krampelj had too much of an impact on the game. He went for 4 and 4 and only shot twice from the floor in 22 minutes.
