Carbondale, IL - The Creighton Bluejays returned to juggernaut form on Sunday night.  They blitzed Southern Illinois to the tune of 81-51.  The 30-point blowout stopped the Jays losing skid at two games. 

Doug McDermott led the way for Creighton with 21 points.  The Jays also received a big contribution from Gregory Echenique who scored 12 points while grabbing eleven rebounds.  Creighton shot over sixty percent from the field, and they knocked down twelve three-pointers.  The win moves them to 7-2 in Valley play this season.

Creighton will return to action this Wednesday against Missouri State.
