The Creighton men’s basketball team made some strides this week as they won their opening road game of the season against UAB on Wednesday night. Sunday, Creighton hits the road again, this time for a neutral court game against Iowa in Des Moines at the Wells Fargo Arena.
While many fans from both teams will make the short drive to see it live, the game against the Hawkeyes will also mark Creighton’s first appearance on TV this season. Before each game, home and away, we present a Media Menu. Here are the options for tracking Creighton’s Sunday afternoon game.
