Creighton has had some struggles lately in Missouri Valley Conference road games. Luckily, the same can’t be said for games at home. The Bluejays have won the last three at Qwest Center Omaha and feel comfortable at their home venue.
The Jays will need to be ready on Sunday evening when their rival Southern Illinois comes to town. The Salukis are still riding high after their upset at Wichita State.
So, show up Sunday night to cheer on a rivalry game that seems to have lost a bit of its luster the past few seasons. But if you can’t make it to the Qwest Center for the 7 p.m. tip, check out some of these various options for following the action.
