Got my answer about the points, it tied the 89 points they score in 1964. So far this tournament it is also the most scored tied with Gonzaga.

Rooting for the Big East..

But obviously, fraudulent 7 seed Marquette losses to New Mexico..

This team has been average for the past 6 weeks..

Completely overhyped and overrated..

Go Jays!…

Yes they were. UConn almost managed to lose tonight but pulled out the victory. Xavier fell short against Illinois. Big East is 4-2 so far in the tourney.

Pretty incredible he feels this way about Creighton and Omaha after only one year:

Incredible quote from Jamiya:

“I never really thought I would be a Creighton guy. When people ask me where I went to school at, I probably won’t even say the other school anymore. It’s just gonna be Creighton. This is where I grew, where I learned to be a man and a basketball player.

“This is where I became Jamiya Neal.”

Jays up 2 at half to overall #1 seed. Shooting lights out from 3 but need to rebound better and stop turning the ball over.

Jays not playing as well in the 2nd so far, but they are still in it

Looking like a wrap, they just don't have the depth to keep up.

skinzfan23 · Post by **skinzfan23** » Sat Mar 22, 2025 8:16 pm

They haven’t given up and made a nice run but prob too little too late

skinzfan23 · Post by **skinzfan23** » Sat Mar 22, 2025 8:26 pm

Tough one for the Jays. They just didn’t have enough.

Post by **Omaha Cowboy** » Sun Mar 23, 2025 12:35 pm

Proud of the team- The Jays fought and competed..

No shame in losing a hard fought game to the #1 overall seed in the tournament…

Ciao..LiO…Peace

I really like the game yesterday, although it wasn’t the outcome we wanted, it was so nice to see the sportsmanship of each team and helping players get up several times. So much better than watching a game against most of the big East schools.

Heard Owen Freeman the center from Iowa is visiting Creighton this week. Needs to get in better shape but he avg almost 17 pts and 7 rebs/game along with nearly 2 blocks/game.

I am curious anybody know what Creighton‘s NIL budget was this past season? I heard yesterday on ESPN that Arkansas’s Men’s BB team’s NIL was between $5-6 million this past season., which put them at the top of DivI I

skinzfan23 · Post by **skinzfan23** » Tue Mar 25, 2025 3:08 pm

I don't know for sure but I heard around $2-3 million

skinzfan23 · Post by **skinzfan23** » Tue Mar 25, 2025 9:27 pm

Wow gunna have another Pitino in the Big East. Richard pitino has been hired as the new coach of Xavier.

skinzfan23 · Post by **skinzfan23** » Wed Mar 26, 2025 10:57 am

According to this article, the Big East will be fine with NIL. There has been a lot of talk about the football schools having a lot more revenue sharing, but basically most of that is going to be eaten up by football.

This article states that most power programs will have $2-4 million to use for basketball while Big East schools might have $6 million or more (and I think Creighton will be one of the higher ones)

First Jays are in the portal: Pop Isaacs and Mason Miller. Sad to see pop go but miller is prob better in mid-major anyway.

almighty_tuna · Post by **almighty_tuna** » Wed Mar 26, 2025 2:28 pm

Not surprised to see Mason Miller in the portal. Unfortunate that Pop is out, but there are certainly two sides to the portal and I'm sure Mac has some eyes on some incoming talent, too.

Yes, and now there would be space for Josh Dix, if the rumors are true that the Jays are looking to add him.

It is official, Owen Freeman committed to
Creighton today. Good pickup but needs to get in better shape to play the way the Jays will want him to.

Saw this YouTube channel mentioned.

Wonder how much he got....I have heard over $1 Mil but that seems really high, but who knows. Not sure that there is any way to track that NIL money.

I bet Pop Isaac’s came because of playing with Kalk and Ashworth and for a chance to play possibly in the Elite 16 or higher in tournament and he doesn’t seen that possibility for next season.

skinzfan23 · Post by **skinzfan23** » Thu Mar 27, 2025 10:33 am

I agree, that is prob happened with Pop. There still is a possibility he could stay at CU, but I doubt that will happen.

skinzfan23 · Post by **skinzfan23** » Fri Mar 28, 2025 4:55 pm

Fred King entered the transfer portal.

skinzfan23 · Post by **skinzfan23** » Sat Mar 29, 2025 12:08 am

Kalk held his own against Broome from Auburn. Held to only 8 pts last week, but finished with 22pts and 16 rebs tonight against Michigan.

Post by **Omaha Cowboy** » Sat Mar 29, 2025 4:14 pm

Auburn defeated Michigan pretty much the same way they beat the Jays last week..With about 10 minutes left in the 2nd half, the Tigers got hot and couldn’t miss..the Wolverines couldn’t throw it in the ocean..Just like the Jays..

Both CU and UofM gave Auburn good games, but I see this team in the final 4..

PS- Not surprised King went the portal route. I was mildly surprised he didn’t do it 1 year ago. He did NOT impress in either the Big East Tournament or the Big Dance this year…

Ciao..LiO…Peace

skinzfan23 · Post by **skinzfan23** » Wed Apr 02, 2025 10:43 am

The Jays got a commitment today from transfer Nik Graves from Charlotte.

He played on a terrible team but avg were: 17.5pts, 4.3 rebs, 2.7assts.

Should be a great addition.

skinzfan23 · Post by **skinzfan23** » Wed Apr 02, 2025 2:55 pm

Fred King is following Mason and Ryan Miller and committed to Murray St. Glad for him, maybe he will get some big min there, if he can stay out of foul trouble.

I believe Jahenns is there now as well.

Good call, I didn't realize that he left too.

Rumors that Aiden Mahaney, who had two great seasons at Saint Mary’s and then transferred to UConn last season is coming to Creighton. That would be a huge pick up for Creighton because he averaged 14 points per game in each of his two seasons at St. Mary’s.

skinzfan23 · Post by **skinzfan23** » Wed Apr 02, 2025 9:07 pm

Wow the field for the players era festival is carzy for next season. Prob most of the top teams from the past decade in college basketball. Going to be tough to get a win:

skinzfan23 · Post by **skinzfan23** » Thu Apr 03, 2025 4:31 pm

Steven Ashworth is on ESPN @ 6pm tonight in the 3pt shooting contest.

skinzfan23 · Post by **skinzfan23** » Fri Apr 04, 2025 11:55 am

Josh Dix from Iowa, committed to Creighton this morning. He is considered one of the top guards in the transfer portal. Averaged 14.5 pts/game in the Big 10 and shot over 42% from 3 each of the last 2 years.

skinzfan23 · Post by **skinzfan23** » Fri Apr 04, 2025 1:35 pm

Trey Alexander was named G league player of the year today. He averaged 26.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.6 steals in 22 G League games this season.

Hopefully, he gets some run in the NBA at some point.

Post by **Omaha Cowboy** » Sat Apr 05, 2025 9:24 am

Josh Dix was a huge portal get for the Jays..Coach Mac will turn him into an even better player. I just wish he had more than 1 year of eligibility left..

This team for 2025/2026, has potential to be yet another 20+ win team and Big East contender…

Ciao..LiO…Peace

Kinda funny reading the Iowa basketball board. They are all bent out of shape that Creighton and Nebraska got their players in the portal. At least Nebraska schools care about their basketball teams and are top 10 in attendance. Iowa averaged maybe 5,000 actually in attendance and are very sore losers. Now they are claiming that none of the 3 that transferred out are any good, but yet somehow they are going to win multiple ncaa tournament games with 1/2 of last year’s Drake roster on a big ten team. Keep dreaming.

Kalk won the Kareem award for best center in America. Well deserved!
