Creighton remains on the road Wednesday. The Bluejays play Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls tonight, a few days after a heartbreaking loss to Missouri State in Springfield.
The road team has won three of the last four meetings in the series, and the Jays have actually won five of their last six trips to Cedar Falls, so that may be a good sign of what could happen on Wednesday night. It is a key battle in the conference race and could decide who may have an outside chance of winning the regular season title. Greg McDermott makes his first return to his alma mater since taking the Creighton job; his son Doug plays what was to be his school for the first time since he asked for and received release from his commitment to UNI.
The game begins at 8 p.m. central, because ESPNU has the broadcast. Whether you make the trip to Cedar Falls or sit in the comfort of your own home, there are plenty of ways to follow Creighton and Northern Iowa.
