Wednesday night against Xavier, Austin Swartz scored a career-high 27 points, making 7-of-13 from three-point range and 3-of-4 inside the arc. He also had seven rebounds, four assists and a steal in just 22 minutes. He became the first Bluejay to score 20 or more in a game this season, and in doing so, Swartz shattered the Creighton record for points in a Big East debut which had been shared by Doug McDermott and Ryan Hawkins (19).
Since sitting out the Oregon game, he’s scored 66 points in four games (11, 16, 12 and 27) after scoring eight total in the first six games.
