The Creighton men’s basketball team has hit a bit of wall over the past three games. After the buzzer beater loss to Northern Iowa, the Bluejays have dropped games against Evansville and Wichita State — the latter in resounding fashion.
They will try to get back on track, but it will be on the road against traditional rival Southern Illinois on Tuesday night. The Salukis have struggled over the past few seasons, but the games in Carbondale are always fierce.
