The Creighton men’s basketball team hits the road for a game with more storylines than you would believe. The Bluejays finally return a Bracketbuster game from 2010 against Loyola Chicago on Saturday.
This game has been delayed for years for various reasons and was from the last Bracketbusters event that had a Dana Altman led Creighton Bluejays squad. In the meantime, Creighton left the MVC for the Big East Conference, Loyola hired a former Bluejay for its head coach, and the Ramblers became the replacement for the Bluejays in the Valley. Ironically, this is also the first game for Creighton against a member of their former conference since leaving for the Big East a few years ago.
This road game won’t be an easy one, but there may be more Creighton fans there than expected as well with the short trip to Chicago. However, if you are not making the trip to the Windy City for the Saturday afternoon 1PM tip, then here is how you can catch the game no matter where you are.
