Creighton Is Good As Hell Again
It’s been two years since the college basketball world has had a legitimate reason to turn their eyes toward Creighton, but with a 16-1 record and a couple top-15 wins in the bag, the Bluejays are officially done waiting for everyone else to wake up and realize this team is just as dangerous as the ...
The Plays That Power The Creighton Offense, The Best In A Decade
Since the beginning of the KenPom era in 2002-03—college basketball's own little Copernican Revolution, during which the laws of the universe finally began to piece themselves together—there hasn't been an offense as efficient or as skilled as the 2014 Creighton Bluejays. But exactly how it operate...
Omaha Cable System Cuts Away From Creighton Game To Show Pac-12 Action
Creighton and Xavier are locked up in a Big East semifinal thriller. Bluejays fans back home in Omaha can't watch, though, because we're told Cox Cable switched Fox Sports 1 feeds to the Pac-12 Stanford-UCLA game, which is what follows the one from Madison Square Garden. Fox Sports 1 tweeted quickly...
Doug McDermott's Record-Setting First Half Against DePaul, In One GIF

Creighton's Devin Brooks Gets The Assist Of The Year

Doug McDermott Hits Game-Winner From 25 Feet Out
Doug McDermott, Creighton's do-it-all forward, dropped 39 points on 15-26 shooting against St. John's last night, and none were sweeter than his last three. ...
How Creighton Created The Craziest, Deadliest Offense In The Country
The box score from last night's Creighton-Villanova game—a game that ended with Creighton upsetting the No. 4 team in the country behind 21 made three-pointers—looks like a fluke. No team is supposed to heave 35 three-pointers in 40 minutes, let alone connect on 60 percent of them, right? Wrong. The...
Creighton's Gregory Echenique Laid A Massive Blast On UNC's Tyler Zeller The Refs Somehow Missed
North Carolina got the best of Creighton today, earning a big 87-73 win that advanced the #1 seed to the Sweet Sixteen. They didn't get there without taking a few lumps, however, as Tyler Zeller learned at the forearm of Bluejay Gregory Echenique....
Watch Creighton's Grant Gibbs Inbound The Ball Off An Alabama Guy's Back And Score
These are always great. Grant Gibbs goes off Nick Jacobs's lumbar for the easy layup, giving us the rare and wonderful highlight/lowlight combo. (Creighton won the game by a point.) Clark Kellogg calls it a "smart schoolyard play," which raises the question: What kind of schoolyard game features i...

Creighton's Doug McDermott Learned Being The Coach's Son Sometimes Means Being Humiliated On TV
Creighton fell to Wichita State 89-68 last night—the 15th-ranked Bluejays' third loss in a row—and the slow meltdown of the perennial MVC powerhouse was made clearly evident in this incident late in the first half. Creighton star Doug McDermott's erratic play earned him a nasty tongue-lashing from...
Creighton-Northern Iowa Ended With A Bang-Bang Buzzer-Beater
Top 15-ranked Creighton fell to Northern Iowa in painful fashion today, after a tying three-pointer was overruled by a buzzer-beating three at the other end....
Invisible Line Helps Oregon Win A Sub-NIT Championship
The Oregon Ducks won the College Basketball Invitational tournament (presented by Zebra Pen) last night. The CBI's "history page" goes all the way back to 2008 and notes how VCU won it last year....
Fun With Ambidexterity: It's Pat!
A while back we told you about Creighton's Pat Venditte, whose main claim to fame — besides being a college junior who looks like he's 12 — is that he can pitch with both hands. OK, perhaps not that impressive when you put him next to the Amazing Rubber Boy, but we have trouble picking up a fork lef...
I Can Go With Both Hands, Myself
I'm sorry, Nate Funk, but you are no longer my favorite Creighton athlete. That honor now belongs to Pat Venditte, a pitcher on the Creighton baseball team that can pitch with either hand. From the New York Times:...
