Early significant stretch... Early significant stretch... Back in the pre-season many looked at the Jays February stretch of games - 11th thru 21st (@DePaul, Villanova, @UConn, @StJ-MSG) as the defining challenging stretch of the conference slate- as both UConn and StJ were highly ranked entering the season. However, the non-conference has shown that Butler, Nova, and Seton Hall are better than previously predicted.

Jays been playin UNI Ball...Time to let it Fly! Creighton Photo: vs Nebraska Jays/Dec 8, 2025 Hmmm. Gtmo here. I was very optimistic going into the Players Era Tounrament (PET) in Las Vegas on Thanksgiving Week. The slate was pretty promising – 2 good teams to match up with and a potential big game to end the slate. Jays did not perform well, did not meet the expectations, and lost to both Baylor and Iowa State.

Podcast answers some pressing Questions
Been retro-viewing a few podcasts, including the Roll Jays Podcast folks. The episode below (from 10 days ago) addresses several questions that will have to be answered: Roster rotations? Who's the 5? Starters? Giving adequate PT to a potent roster? Who steps up into player leadership roles? Developing the depth charts? This Jays roster is potentially a ceiling-breaker and Mac/staff's handling of this group will determine the floor/ceiling of this dynamic team assemblage.

17,675 in attendance for a Volleyball Game! Omaha - 16 September 2025 Sure, it's Not basketball. However, this is extremely noteworthy. My #18 Creighton Bluejays were hosting a non-conference Volleyball game vs #1 Nebraska. The game was set the the CHICO (CHI Health Ctr Omaha) Arena. It's always a big deal when the volleyball Jays v Huskers meet. Huskers in 5 sets. Creighton has the greatest fanbase in the USA...bar none! Roll Damn Jays!
