Ryan Kalkbrenner scored 24 points, grabbed six rebounds and had three blocks to lead No. 15 Creighton to a 96-70 win over Fairleigh Dickinson on Sunday night in Omaha, Neb.

The senior center made 9 of 10 shots from the field and has converted 29 of 32 field goal attempts through two games.

Steven Ashworth had 15 points, nine assists and five rebounds. The point guard connected on 5 of 8 3-point attempts. Jamiya Neal had 13 points and five rebounds and Pop Isaacs had 12 points. Jackson McAndrew came off the bench to score 13 points for the Bluejays (2-0).

Creighton coach Greg McDermott tied former coach Dana Altman’s school record of 327 wins.

Terrence Brown had 19 points and eight rebounds for FDU (1-2) and Bismark Nsiah and Dylan Jones added 12 points for the Knights.

Despite being outsized and outmatched by Creighton, FDU started the game on a 10-2 run with sharp shooting and lateral ball movement on offense. A Nsiah 3-pointer at 5:44 capped the opening run.

Creighton tied the game at 10-10 on Ashworth’s trey at 15:05 of the first half. Kalkbrenner – who set a new school record for field goals made with 20 on Wednesday – stepped and slid out of the way to nail a top-of-the-key 3-pointer to give the Bluejays a 22-17 lead. The 7-foot-1 center is now 3-for-3 from 3-point land this season.

As part of a 13-0 run, Ashworth hit a triple on a dribble handoff. On the next possession, Neal scored on a nifty layup in transition as Creighton took a 33-26 lead and forced FDU to call the second timeout.

The rally didn’t stop, however, as Creighton sailed to a 50-34 halftime lead. Kalkbrenner finished the first half with 15 points, with two dunks and a tip-in.

Kalkbrenner and Neal highlighted back-to-back possessions with dunks for a 56-37 Creighton lead. Ashworth followed with a 3-pointer and Kalkbrenner had another dunk and was fouled as the Bluejays pulled away on a 12-0 run that gave them a 62-37 lead.
