The Creighton Bluejays have hit a rough stretch, losing four of their last five games. The four defeats came against a nationally ranked team, a potentially ranked team, the head coach’s previous employer, and CU’s in-state rival. The Bluejays are in desperate need of a win.
St. Joseph’s comes to town on Saturday to close out this stretch of solid competition for the Bluejays. Adding to the atmosphere will be Creighton’s first basketball alumni weekend since 2003. And during halftime Saturday night, CU will retire Bluejay legend Bob Harstad’s jersey.
