Creighton’s clutch, high-IQ guard who could flip a game late
In the 2004-05 season, Kellen Miliner gave Creighton a steady guard presence off the bench, averaging 9.4 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists while finishing with 320 points on the year. His calling card was poise under pressure: he was remembered for a buzzer-beating win over Nebraska and for hitting key free throws in crunch time, the kind of detail that makes coaches trust him late. He wasn’t a flashy volume scorer, but he brought toughness, composure and shot-making—useful traits for a team that wants a calm, battle-tested backcourt piece.
