The Creighton men’s basketball team beat Drake Wednesday night. Doug McDermott scored 30 points, Jahenns Manigat added 15, and freshmen Will Artino and Austin Chatman once again saw their playing time increase.
The Bluejays return to the friendly confines of the CenturyLink Center on Saturday night for a game against the Bradley Braves. So why is a game against the league’s worst team nearly a sellout a few days before? Saturday’s game is Creighton’s Coaches vs. Cancer event. The players will sport pink uniforms, and everyone in attendance is encouraged to wear pink too, to promote cancer awareness.
