The Creighton-Southern Illinois games might not have the same impact this season as in years past, but it is still important to Bluejays and Salukis fans everywhere when these two schools get together. Creighton beat SIU in Omaha a few weeks ago; tonight, the Salukis look to avoid the same season sweep they suffered last year.
At White & Blue Review, we want to make sure you are always aware of the different media at your disposal for keeping track of every Bluejays game, home and away. Here are the different viewing and tracking options for Tuesday’s 7 p.m. game against Southern Illinois.
