In what has appeared to be a growing rivalry over the years and the programs seemingly on the opposite side of the coin this season compared to last, the first matchup between Valley members Creighton and Wichita St. should be an interesting one down in Koch Arena. The Bluejays are on a two game conference winning streak and hit the first of a five game stretch with Wichita State twice, Southern Illinois, Illinois State and Missouri State over the next two weeks who are all currently at the top of the conference.
At White & Blue Review, we want to make sure you are always aware of the different media at your disposal for keeping track of every Bluejays game, home and away. Here are the different viewing and tracking options for Saturday’s game against the Shockers in the 1PM game.

The game will be televised on ESPNU with Dan McLaughlin and Mac McCausland who are Missouri Valley regulars and should have a good call of the game. Here is how you can catch the game if you are in the Omaha metro:
