preview is up. Remember-- 5:30 game. Originally I was thinking 6 but it's 5:30

Lets move on.

Big game. Echoing Tim, I hope the crowd gives the team a boost and can help get them a W on Wed.

Butler preview is up.

As we have mentioned, Ravi and I will be at Hinkle for this game. We will be doing our regular edition of Bluejay Banter from the ESPN studios in Indy on Friday and Overtime, the Creighton basketball postgame show, will be live from Indianapolis as well. Stay tuned to Bluejaybanter.com and follow us on twitter @bluejaybanter for full coverage. We will have pictures and videos from Indy including an inside tour of Hinkle Fieldhouse, reports from the team hotel and pictures and video from the NCAA Headquarters.

Providence preview is up.

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas. Beyond grateful to have all of you as members. While we always don't agree ( that would be boring) love having all the interaction with everyone.

As I was watching DRock notch another win tonight I thought back to how over the moon we all were when we joined the Big East. And while we have had some huge wins and now almost yawn when we see Ohio State on our schedule, I watched the joy of that Drake team winning that game tonight and it made me realize that it was a far simpler time/league. I think we all miss St Louis and probably miss being the big fish in the small pond.

Now look- so I'm clear- I love being in the Big East and love playing ranked teams on a regular basis. Awesome that we get to play at the World's most famous arena every year and that every game is on national TV. I don't know if we all truly understood that every year to be successful it would be such a grind and that even as we upgrade talent every year it means little as every other team upgrades too.

So I guess as this long story comes to an end and the prospect of a Big East season that might not be as as good as I thought I'm going to try and remember that even when things get bad that the alternative is to be thrilled beating Indiana State and to be excited winning the Vegas Classic. That when and if times get tough this year we still are in a great place and if we keep upgrading talent eventually that year will happen when it all comes together. And maybe being a little more positive might help too.

Merry Christmas

Sooners have been one of the surprises of the year so far.

Beat Timmy week

We have a top 15 VB team in the country so it deserves a thread. Today the Jays open up the season against #5 Kentucky. Live video via gocreighton.com

Preview is up on the front page. Need everyone in their seats by 6 pm. On Thursday. And need everyone loud.

Creighton is the first to offer Papillion-La Vista Forward Ed Chang. He is Drock's recruit. He's been to many Jays games but if the Jays are going to get him they will have to beat out Nebraska. Drock's told me in the past that he's been a lifelong Husker fan.

Front page preview is up

Jays a 20 point favorite.

Besides a win what are you looking for in this game?

This is priceless. I think everybody gets it. Timmy might get his first win against Mac this year. If he doesn’t, it is cheating. Like the other 7 or 12 or whatever.


“The verdict meant schools associated with those men, primarily Adidas schools Louisville, Kansas and North Carolina State, were the victims of fraud. The prosecution concluded that “if the universities had known about the defendants’ secret payments, they would have never issued scholarships.” Other schools named in court included Creighton, Duke, North Carolina, Iowa State, Texas, Kentucky, Michigan State, LSU, Maryland, Xavier, Wichita State, Clemson, Notre Dame and Virginia, among others.”

God, we are are listed before Duke and North Carolina (but very carefully by the Omaha World Herald after Louisville, Kansas and North Carolina State based on the actual Dawkins, etc. verdict).

Gotta love these guys. Nebraska should stick to spin making the fanatics think that Scott Frost will make Nebraska football great again and leave the basketball they abdicated by disinterest 20 years ago to Creighton.

Tough shit that holy Nebraska football sucks and Creighton basketball is relevant.

Maybe there should be another Lawrence Phillips to kill somebody to make Tom Osborne seem compassionate.

Tim and I put together a preview article for the exhibition game on Saturday.

We will have exclusive coverage of media days from New York tomorrow as we are the only media from Omaha that is here. I will try and grab as many coaches as possible, have an interview with Mac and talk to a lot of national media as well

I will be on Sharp and Benning tomorrow as well. Probably after 10am.

We will post all the interviews on here tomorrow night.

Jays 3rd.

Four-star shooting guard Zach Harvey has reclassified to 2020 and has totally rebooted his recruitment. Visits to Arizona State and Creighton have been canceled.

https://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/zach-harvey-transfers-reclassifies-to-2020

Anyone have info on when the conference schedule is to be announced? Usually around Labor Day if I remember.

a friendly reminder to not publicize this...bc Bossi is saying Harvey is keeping things under wraps. With that being said Zach Harvey is scheduled to officially visit Creighton Sept. 21st.

Here's what we have so far.

Home-- Gonzaga, Montana, Winona St (D-ll), Ohio State

Road-- Oklahoma, Nebraska

Neutral-- Cayman Classic featuring Clemson, Boise St, Georgia, St Bonaventure, Georgia St, Illinois St, Akron,

That's a really strong start to the non con. I Heard we signed another home and home with Oklahoma. Assuming we start on the road. So if we get the right draw in the Cayman Islands we could potentially play six teams in the top 40. That's a great non con.

More to come

Any word if summer league is going on this year? And any details?
