OMAHA, Nebraska: Denzel Mahoney and Damien Jefferson announced they are withdrawing from the NBA draft and returning to Creighton for their senior seasons.

''Both Damien and Denzel went through the draft process, evaluated the info they received, and felt like it was in their best interest to return,'' Creighton coach Greg McDermott said on Saturday (Sunday in Manila). ''It goes without saying that we're thrilled to have them back. Experience is key in college basketball and we return some guys that played significant roles a season ago. I'm sure they're hungry to get back on the playing floor.''
