Media Menu: Creighton Men’s Basketball @ MVC Tournament

The Creighton Bluejays accomplished one of their season goals last weekend: winning the Missouri Valley Conference regular season title. Now they turn their attention to Arch Madness, where the Jays will be the No. 1 seed in the MVC Tournament in St. Louis this weekend.

Creighton fans gobbled up nearly 5,000 all-session tickets for the event, a record-breaking number. Factor in the flocks of fans who wait until they get to the Lou to get tickets, and you can bet the White and the Blue will be all over downtown St. Louis and inside the Scottrade Center.

But thousands of CU fans can’t make the trek to Arch Madness. Here is the Media Menu for following the tournament in every way imaginable.
