The Creighton men’s basketball team is surprising some people with their play so far in Big East play. As of now the Bluejays are sitting at the middle of the pack, exceeding expectations of finishing in the bottom of the conference. Missing from Creighton’s resume so far is a win against a high quality opponent. They get that opportunity on Saturday night.
Butler comes to the CenturyLink Center with a #18 ranking, but lost earlier in the week to a ranked Providence team. Despite the Bulldogs loss, this is still an opportunity for the Bluejays to get a win against a ranked team, something they have struggled at for the past couple of seasons.
The CLink should be rocking on Saturday night with a full crowd. If you aren’t lucky enough to get in the door, here are the ways you can follow the 6:37 p.m. central time tip.
