There are many that have opinions about the involvement of the Missouri Valley Conference in the ESPN Bracketbusters event. However, in this case it might be a great opportunity for the Bluejays to get a nice win. After their recent three game losing streak created some doubt, they get an opportunity now in this event to keep their name out there.
The Creighton men’s basketball team hits the floor at the CenturyLink Center on Saturday night against Long Beach State just hours after the Nebraska State Wrestling tournament concludes. Thanks to the wrestling tournament, Bluejay fans get a little extra time to prepare for the game.
