No doubting Thomas as No. 20 Creighton visits Seton Hall
NEWARK, N.J. -- Since star point guard Mo Watson suffered a season-ending knee injury in mid-January, Khyri Thomas has done a nice job filling the void and running the show for No. 20 Creighton.
Watson, the nation's active assists leader, tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during Creighton's 72-67 victory at Xavier on Jan. 16. Thomas, a sophomore from Omaha, made the transition from shooting guard to point guard seamlessly in Watson's absence.
The Bluejays (21-4, 8-4 Big East) meet Seton Hall (15-9, 5-7) at the Prudential Center on Wednesday.
Thomas averaged 15.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.0 assists with a 4-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio in the past four games.
