The Creighton men’s basketball team is chugging right along, owners of an eight-game winning streak since losing their conference opener against Missouri State. They are finding ways to win even as opponents try to focus their energy on stopping Doug McDermott.
Creighton goes back on the road Wednesday night, albeit on a short two-hour trek down I-80, to take on the Drake Bulldogs. Although this game would be a lot more fun on a weekend, there will be plenty of fans making the trip to the Knapp Center.
If you aren’t one of the lucky ones making the trip, there are several ways to follow the 7:00 p.m. tip-off. We present to you the Media Menu to keep you connected.
