Creighton won its opening round of the College Basketball Invitational last Tuesday night over San Jose State with a little more than 3,000 vocal Bluejay fans cheering on a team that looked as comfortable as they have all season. They continue their quest in the tournament against Davidson on Monday night.
Davidson is remembered by many as a team that advanced to the Elite 8 in the NCAA Tournament a couple of seasons ago with Stephen Curry and his amazing shooting. Curry has gone on to big things in the NBA and the Wildcats, like many mid-major schools, have fallen back into the rest of the heap hoping to build up to make another run in the future.
This game should be a good one and it is expected that more fans will be in the arena on Monday night. However, if you can’t be there, here are the options available to you to follow the Bluejays with the 7:05 p.m. tip.
