The Creighton Men’s basketball team returns to the court in Omaha on Saturday night after taking home the championship belt at the Men Who Speak Up Main Event earlier in the week. They will be facing a pesky Western Illinois team on the CenturyLink Center court.
A few years ago, Creighton won a tournament out in Vegas and came back to fall to a surprising Boise State team at home. The Bluejays, in similar fashion, will face a Western Illinois team that has already knocked off Wisconsin and sits undefeated on the season.
The fans should be coming out of their Thanksgiving food coma for this one. If you are not able to make it to the CLink for the 7:00 p.m. tip, here are the ways you can follow the game.
