Creighton returns to the CenturyLink Center Thursday night after a making a statement at Tulsa earlier this week. The Bluejays look to beat their third Big Ten team of the season as the Northwestern Wildcats come to town.
Head coach Greg McDermott talked on the postgame show Monday night about the need for a large and loud contingent of fans to fill the CLC Thunderdome and make it a tough environment for the Wildcats.
With Christmas coming quickly we know you may not be able to make it to the 7:05 p.m. tip-off, though. So here is the Media Menu to give you your other options.
Television
The game will be broadcast by Omaha’s local CBS station KMTV, otherwise known as Action3 News. Travis Justice and Nick Bahe will have the call.
- If you still have the rabbit ears on your TV, it is available over the air in the metro and surrounding areas.
- For those with cable systems, it is available on Cox channel 5 or 1005 (but no HD) in the Omaha metro. In Lincoln and other surrounding Time Warner Cable outlets in Nebraska stretching as far west as York and as far south as Fairbury and Nebraska City, it is available on Time Warner Cable channel 3.
- On satellite with DirecTV and Dish Network, those with the Omaha DMA will have it on their local CBS channel which is KMTV. However, those with old style satellites will be out of luck since there are no satellite coordinates.
- Nationwide, the KMTV broadcast will be available on the ESPN Full Court PPV package.
