SJU will face USA’s best senior, Doug McDermott (Creighton)

Saturday evening, Saint Joseph’s University will play at home against Creighton, with a certain Doug McDermott on their roster. Doug Mc Dermott  (born 1992, 2m03) is probably the best senior player in NCAA basketball.

During the season 2012-2013, he scored 77 three-pointers (49%!!). Last summer, he played in the starting line-up for Team USA on the World University Games. In the first two games for Creighton this season, McDermott averaged 27.5 points.
