I'll be darned! I thought Cooley has been there longer than 2011. Kinda crazy.

The first transfer news for the Jays: Modestas Kancleris is entering the transfer portal. (kind of expected/maybe even hoped for by some Jay's fans) He has been a great teammate but hasn't really seen much action. I remember watching his recruiting highlight film and all it included was shooting FT...

Somewhat bummed they couldn't avoid the 8/9 matchup. San Diego State is going to be a tough matchup. Agreed. The committee didn’t do the Jays any favors with a 9 seeding.. But Marquette, a team CU defeated 3 times this season, also gets in at a 9? That’s a head scratcher :what:… Ciao..LiO…Peace Sai...

Re: Creighton Basketball 2021-2022

Rough shooting night, but in the past when Creighton had a rough shooting night in these kinds of games they'd be boatraced by 30. So while the outcome was not what I would have liked, I appreciate the defense and the fortitude the team showed. Onwards to the tournament and onwards to a bright future.

Not that we didn't already know, but Creighton did confirm that Nembhard is out for the season and is having surgery on his wrist. The one potential semi-bright spot (for lack of a better term here), is that I think the current roster (providing Arthur and Alex get 100% here soon) is more capable o...

Re: Creighton Basketball 2021-2022

Hawkins has been otherworldly for the Jays, I think we'd be lost this season without him at critical junctures.

We need Trey and Rati to step up big time in Nembhard's absence. Trey I think is already doing that, but hopefully Rati can take it to the next level.
