OMAHA, Nebraska (Ticker) -- Kyle Korver was close to perfect - just like his team this season.

Korver scored 23 points on 7-of-8 shooting as 15th-ranked Creighton rolled to an 84-63 victory over Drake in a Missouri Valley Conference matchup.

After posting a career-high 32 points in the Bluejays' conference opener Tuesday, Korver turned in another stellar performance. He made 3-of-4 3-pointers and 6-of-6 free throws as Creighton improved upon its best start in 60 years.

The Bluejays never trailed after Larry House and Tyler McKinney made consecutive jumpers to open the game. They had a 15-2 lead as the Bulldogs managed just one basket in the first 6 1/2 minutes.

After a three-point play by Drake's Quantel Murphy, Korver made a jumper and two free throws to spark a 13-3 run. Nathan Funk had a layup and a 3-pointer during the spurt, which gave Creighton (11-1, 2-0 MVC) a 28-8 cushion with 9:57 to go.

The Bluejays shot 62 percent (16-of-26) in the first half while holding the Bulldogs to just 39 percent (10-of-26) and had a 48-30 halftime lead.
