CREIGHTON TURNAROUND
After a bad week in late-November and another one in early January, Creighton has turned it on lately.
The Bluejays have reeled off seven straight games and are just one game behind Missouri Valley leader Northern Iowa.
``Offensively we've been hitting shots and we've been switching things up defensively," Altman said. "I think it's kept people off-balance."
Altman has gone with a point guard duo of solid veteran Josh Dotzler and athletic freshman Antoine Young.
Dotzler has a 4-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio over the past three games and Young has also done a nice job of taking care of the ball.
``We had two bad weeks," Altman said. ``But we're playing better. I'm still not satisfied, but we've gotten a lot better."
Creighton has five sophomores and one freshman among its top 10 players. Even guys like Booker Woodfox and Cavel Witter are second-year kids out of the junior college ranks, so it's not as if they have tons of experience in the program.
``The only guy that had been with us longer than a year coming into the season was Dotzler," Altman said.
Woodfox ia s guy who hasn't received much attention nationally, but he's the only player in the country to rank in the Top 10 in 3-point and free throw percentage.
``If you put him in a shooting contest with Kyle (Korver), he could hang with him," Altman said. "That's a bold statement."
