Creighton has had a busy few days. After filling the CenturyLink Center with pink on Saturday night and winning against Bradley, the Bluejays found out their opponent for the BracketBusters game (February 18, 9 p.m. CT, ESPN2), Long Beach State.
Creighton closes out a two-game homestand against Illinois State Wednesday night. The student section will be ‘Gaga for Gregory,’ and the Birdcage will give CU students goggles in honor of Gregory Echenique’s use of goggles on the court.
