Creighton started Missouri Valley Conference play last week with two wins against Illinois State and Drake. Antoine Young and Gregory Echenique led the way against the Redbirds, while Doug McDermott and Kenny Lawson posted double-doubles during a blowout against the Bulldogs. Meanwhile the rest of the team appears to possess a lot of chemistry, with the rest of the roster fulfilling their various roles.
Next up for the Bluejays? A tough Missouri State team that comes to Omaha riding a wave of momentum and carrying a lot of confidence into the Qwest Center. The Bears, also 2-0 on Valley play, were picked by some publications to win the league this season. With the biggest game of the season so far happening on Tuesday night with the Bears, it should be a rockin’ environment at the Qwest Center.
