Owen Freeman

ANALYSIS
Freeman made his fourth consecutive start for the Bluejays, but he still appears to be finding his rhythm after offseason knee surgery kept him off the court for an extended period of time. He also struggled to box out in this one, and coach Greg McDermott was forced to pull him from the game and chew him out a bit on the sidelines. For most of the remainder of the contest, Jasen Green ended up taking over at center in a small-ball lineup. Considering what was presumably a large NIL deal that Freeman received to transfer to Creighton, the team won't be giving up on him just yet, but he'll need to show better hustle and efficiency if he's going to continue to play a big role. Creighton gets a quick turnaround, drawing Iowa State in the Players Era Festival on Tuesday afternoon.
