No comment by CU officials after arrest

Moore was arrested by Bellevue police early Sunday on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. Creighton didn't practice Monday, taking its required one day off per week. Coach Jim Flanery said he could not comment on Moore's status. "It's out of my hands,'' he said.

Stats don't tell story for Moore
Premium ContentClick on Premium Content on the Featured navigation bar for information.The appreciation of coaches and teammates for Creighton's DaNae Moore far exceeds her modest statistics. The 5-foot-10 senior from Apple Valley, Minn., has never been a big scorer — she has 273 points in 121 career games. There's also nothing eye-popping about her totals in rebounds, assists and steals over the last four seasons. Yet, ask any Creighton player what Moore means to the team and be prepared for a gush of admiration.

Selfless play helps Jays edge Redbirds
Creighton's second-half rally that produced Friday night's 68-59 win over Illinois State was powered by the high-octane message coach Jim Flanery delivered at halftime. Upset with his team's offensive execution in the first half, Flanery passed out few words of praise at the break. “He didn't sugar-coat things,” Creighton guard Carli Tritz said. “We're not a selfish team, but it's selfish when you don't set good screens, when you don't read screens being set for you."

Coach's fix ends Nelson's scoring dip
Premium ContentClick on Premium Content on the Featured navigation bar for information.Creighton coach Jim Flanery partly blames himself for the dip in production recently experienced by sophomore forward Sarah Nelson. Nelson has been one of the Bluejays' top scorers but went through a four-game stretch where she didn't hit her average one time, including scoring four points in one game and eight in another. "Sarah's a tough matchup for almost every '5' in our league because she's so versatile," Flanery said.
