Ryan Kalkbrenner begins his 5th season at Creighton by scoring a career-high 49 points

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 men’s college basketball poll is back every week throughout the season! “Having a good first game is awesome,” Kalkbrenner said, “but we have thirty-something games left, and hopefully games that mean a lot more.” As he walked off the court and through the tunnel after the buzzer, fans nearby chanted “MVP! “He’s one of the best players to ever play here, and there have been some really good players that have played here,” coach Greg McDermott said. “If you don’t have him in this conversation, you’re not paying attention.” Kalkbrenner, who averages 14 points per game for his career, considered leaving Creighton after last season to enter the NBA draft. Tonight’s a good first step in that direction.” ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.
