OMAHA, Neb. -- Senior guard Baylor Scheierman has been named BIG EAST Player of the Week after helping Creighton to a pair of double-digit home wins last week.
Scheierman averaged 23.0 points, 13.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.5 steals per game as Creighton posted wins over Seton Hall (85-64) and No. 5 Marquette (89-75). Scheierman made 14-of-28 shots from the floor, including 12-of-22 three-pointers, and was also perfect in six free throw attempts.
Scheierman had 20 points, 11 rebounds, three assists and three steals in Wednesday's 85-64 win over Seton Hall. During the contest he became the 11th men's player in history to surpass 1,000 career points at multiple Division I schools, and also surpassed Kenneth Faried's mark for most career defensive rebounds by any player in the country since 1999-2000.
