A Creighton-Nebraska match-up is always a big deal, no matter the sport. The men’s basketball teams at both schools are coming off close games, with far different outcomes. Creighton went on the road and snuck out of San Diego with an 85-83 win against the SDSU Aztecs. The Huskers lost 55-53 to Wake Forest in Lincoln. But regardless of records or recent results, the CenturyLink Center will be full of people cheering on their in-state favorite on Sunday.
The 4:05 p.m. Sunday tip-off will likely occur in front of a sell-out crowd. If you can’t get tickets, we’ve got you covered with all of the information you need to follow the game.
