Men's Basketball

Media Menu: @ MVC Tournament

Creighton fans will be heading down to St. Louis this week to fill the Scottrade Center to cheer on the men’s basketball team in Arch Madness. Creighton sold almost twice as many all-session tickets to the MVC Tournament as any other team in the league. Needless to say, Bluejay fans can’t wait to descend on St. Louis for the Bluejay Invitational.

Although many fans are making the trip, there are those that will still be in Omaha or cheering on the Bluejays from across the nation and around the world. If you are one of those people, here are the ways you can follow Creighton in the MVC Tournament.
