Baylor Scheierman made program history with a triple-double and Trey Alexander snapped out of a shooting slump as No. 17 Creighton rolled to a 94-72 win over visiting Georgetown on Tuesday in Omaha, Neb.

In stuffing the stat sheet with 15 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, Scheierman became the first Creighton player ever to register double figures in points, rebounds and assists in one game.

Meanwhile, Alexander drained his first six shots from beyond the arc on his way to scoring 26 points as Creighton (18-7, 9-5 Big East) beat Georgetown for the sixth straight time by a double-digit margin.

In his previous eight games, Alexander had made just 11 of 44 shots (25 percent) from 3-point range. The junior also dished five assists, topping the 300 mark for his career.

Ryan Kalkbrenner added 17 points on 7-of-8 shooting. The 7-footer also had five rebounds and four blocks for the Bluejays, who pulled away midway through the first half and controlled the Hoyas the rest of the way.

Supreme Cook scored 19 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for Georgetown (8-16, 1-12), which lost its ninth straight. Jayden Epps scored 17 points and Dontrez Styles contributed 13 points for the Hoyas.

During a timeout with 7:58 left in the second half, Scheierman received a standing ovation as his historic feat was announced.

Benoit Benjamin is the only other Creighton player who has registered a triple-double. The 1985 graduate had four in his career, each time notching double figures in points, rebounds and blocks.

Georgetown stayed close for the first eight minutes before Creighton went on a 13-0 run fueled by seven points from Alexander and 3-pointers by Francisco Farabello and Steven Ashworth.

The run put the Blue Jays up 28-14. Then in the final five minutes of the half, Alexander drilled three more 3-pointers to swell Creighton's lead to 46-27.

In the second half, Creighton's lead maxed out at 28 points, 86-58 when Ashworth hit his fourth 3-pointer of the game with 4:32 left.

Ashworth finished with 12 points as the Blue Jays hit 58.6 percent of their shots, including 17 of 36 (47.2 percent) from deep.
