Breaks drought in win over Pirates McAndrew amassed 17 points (5-8 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 79-61 victory over Seton Hall.

Impact McAndrew hadn't logged a double-digit scoring game since Jan. 11 heading into the matchup against Seton Hall, but he put it together in the win and logged 17 points. The freshman forward has been mostly supplementary help to higher-tier scorers in Creighton's offense especially in the latter half of the season. He has shown, however, that he can get the baskets going when needed, and this will most definitely be needed in the Bluejays' imminent tournament appearance.

Scoring drought continues McAndrew ended Wednesday's 86-77 win over Xavier with two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds and three assists in 19 minutes.

Impact McAndrew did tie his second-best rebounding effort of the year with seven, but he wasn't able to get going on the offensive side of the ball yet again. The 6-foot-10 freshman has now scored more than five points in just one of his last five games, and his three-point percentage has gotten progressively worse as the year has gone on. He shouldn't have a problem returning back to his more efficient performances earlier this season, but he still has abilities to contribute in other ways if that doesn't happen.

13 points against Nova McAndrew finished Saturday's 86-79 win over Villanova with 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one block across 24 minutes.

Impact McAndrew has been on a consistent streak as of late, registering double-digit points in the Creighton's last three outings. The freshman forward has also started in eight straight games for the Blue Jays, averaging 9.8 points and 4.3 rebounds in that stretch.

DECEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Double-double in first start McAndrew chipped in 12 points (4-11 FG, 4-11 3Pt), 14 rebounds and one block over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 71-53 loss to San Diego State.

Impact McAndrew filled into the starting lineup with guard Steven Ashworth out. The freshman forward registered a solid performance against the Aztecs, especially as he amassed a season-high 14 rebounds. McAndrew is now averaging 8.3 points and 6.0 rebounds on 17.8 minutes per game across six games.

NOVEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Tuesday McAndrew is listed amongst Creighton's starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against SDSU.

Impact McAndrew will make his first collegiate start as the Blue Jays face off against the Aztecs. The 6-foot-10 freshman has averaged 7.6 points and 4.4 rebounds on 14.8 minutes per game this season (five outings).

NOVEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

13 points off bench in blowout McAndrew logged 13 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT) and two rebounds across 15 minutes during Sunday's 96-70 win over FDU.

Impact McAndrew ended the matchup with the most minutes behind the starting five for Creighton, and he also put together a solid 13 points in the team's blowout win. The freshman forward's true output this year will likely be showcased against tougher matchups for the Bluejays, but he did display an efficient scoring ability early in the season versus FDU.

NOVEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Quality minutes in exhibition McAndrew had eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt) and five rebounds in Saturday's exhibition win over Purdue.

Impact McAndrew is one of the highest rated recruits in school history and has already shown why he deserves more playing time. The 6-10 freshman is a knockdown shooter from the perimeter and also competed on the glass in just 14 minutes of action. Jasen Green and Mason Miller are likely to battle for the starting power forward spot out of the gate, but McAndrew has by far the most upside and would be a seamless fit to give Ryan Kalbrenner more space on the inside offensively.
