March 21, 2008 — Creighton travels to Gainesville to play defending national champions Florida in the second round of the NIT.
The Bluejays succumbed to a raucous Gators crowd and couldn’t defend Nick Calathes, who posted the last triple-double by a Creighton opponent — scoring 11 points, grabbing 13 rebounds, and dishing 11 assists — during an absolute drubbing of CU. The Jays trailed 39-19 at halftime and ended up losing 82-54.
