The Creighton men’s and women’s basketball teams welcome the public to partake in a free event celebrating the official start of college hoops season. Jim Flanery’s women’s team has been practicing sporadically, but Greg McDermott’s men’s squad has its first official day of practice this Friday.
The third annual Bluejay Madness will allow McDermott and Flanery a chance to introduce their teams to CU fans at Sokol Arena. The evening’s festivities also include scrimmages by both teams, a three-point shootout, and a dunk contest.
We are co-hosting a beer garden and BBQ before the event with CU Dining and the athletic department. Stop by for a WBR koozie and a frosty brew!
