A week after handing Villanova its first conference loss on the season, St. John’s choked at Hinkle Fieldhouse in overtime. They’re not the first team riding an impressive win streak to fall to the same fate – Creighton also suffered a head-scratching loss in Indianapolis. Also similar to St. John’s, the Jays downed Villanova at […] More
Villanova is no longer unblemished on the conference season after St. John’s continues to pile up gritty, impressive wins. The Red Storm held the ‘Cats’ normally potent offense to just 59 points en route to an 11-point home win, further strengthening their convincing NCAA-tournament resume in the process. Don’t look now, but St. John’s has […] More
This past week in the Big East saw Villanova and Creighton further separate themselves from the rest of the conference. Villanova did so convincingly. Creighton? Not so much, but two conference road wins are nothing to scoff at. Elsewhere, St. John’s continues to quietly creep up our rankings and owns the conference’s second-longest win streak. […] More
Villanova and Seton Hall returned to action this past week after an incredibly long – and a much shorter – break, respectively. Fittingly, they faced off in an exciting contest that went down to the wire. Xavier and Georgetown are the conference’s other two idle teams, but both are scheduled to return to action later […] More
This week was the Big East’s most COVID-riddled since conference play started as Villanova, Seton Hall, Xavier, and Georgetown sat idle. On the other side of the coin, St. John’s played three games in a seven-day span, winning their most recent in come-from-behind fashion at UConn. Previously the hottest team in the league, Creighton saw […] More
The Big East is off to a wildly entertaining, albeit unexpected, start. Blowouts, buzzer-beaters, memorable moments, and program shutdowns have made this season unlike any other. The conference’s flag-bearer – Jay Wright’s Villanova Wildcats – have not played since two days before Christmas. They still sit atop the Big East standings with a 3-0 conference […] More
A fair amount has happened in the world of Creighton basketball recently. Some of it is great, while the rest? Not so much. Let’s break it all down.

The closer we got to the August 3rd NBA Draft withdrawal date, the more nervous I got that Damien Jefferson & Denzel Mahoney had played their last games in a Creighton uniform. Neither player had much of a chance of being drafted, but I was worried that due to the uncertainty surrounding college athletics this […] More
After a wild couple weeks in mid-April surrounding Creighton basketball, a few more notable events transpired. The official NBA draft early entry list is out. Creighton notes… Ty-Shon Alexander: DECLARED (going pro) Denzel Mahoney: DECLARED (signed with NCAA-certified agent; can still return to school) Damien Jefferson: DECLARED Marcus Zegarowski: DID NOT DECLARE — Jon Nyatawa […] More
The disappointment of no NCAA tournament has worn off and lots of teams are rightly celebrating great regular seasons. After arguably Creighton’s best in school history, Jays fans were hopeful that next year will be phenomenal & this year’s team would get to run it back with the same core group of guys while adding […] More
