That is a nice euphemism: "Competitive Excellence Increase."

Imma use that line at work come yearly review time.

Looks like Creighton is playing Iowa in Des Moines at the Casey's Center on Nov 15

I had heard rumors about this last week, glad to see its true. I wish Creighton would get to play more of these games. (kinda hard to make it to an away Big East game with Milwaukee and Chicago being the closest places)

Hopefully Creighton can continue their dominance against IA (Jays have won 7 of last 10 and 4 of last 5)

COuld always play in KC with a team from the south

Jays picked up another HS recruit in Trevon Carter-Givens, a 4 star recruit, who signed with NC State, but was given a release because their coach transferred. He is 6’11” but only 190 pounds. He’ll need to add some muscle, but he is an elite shot blocker and great around the rim.

The Jays training program did good work with Kalk, I'm sure they can get this guy bulking up, too!

[skinzfan23]

Jays are playing defending champion Michigan in the players era tournament in Vegas.

[almighty_tuna]

Huss is going right into the fire. Oof.

[skinzfan23]

London Dada, a 4 star recruit from Omaha Westside committed to Creighton on Friday for the class of 2027.

[skinzfan23]

[skinzfan23]

Creighton signed 5'11" guard from Oakland that avg 17.7 pts and 6.7 assts last year. It would be his (Brody Robinson) final season of eligibility.

Also, heard a rumor that Fred King might be coming to CU for his final season.

That would be cool to see. He can help this team with quality depth minutes…

Ciao..LiO…Peace

OWH confirmed it today, that King is indeed coming back to Omaha.

Nice addition. Good to have him back …

Nice addition for Creighton, but I am a little surprised that he is willing to play his final season likely in a supporting role with limited minutes.

Jays released conference schedule today:

[skinzfan23]

Jays got a commitment from the highest ranked recruit they have ever had today.

5’10” pg Micah Gordon who was ranked #28 in the nation.

She will definitely be the starting point guard next year he kind of reminds me of Mo Watson.

Such a great “get” for the Jays..

Can’t wait to see him don the White and Blue…

Heard that UNO beat CU in the scrimmage but that clearly isn’t true. As always, CU rolled them.

Creighton announced some 6 game special ticket packages for the season. One includes the Nebraska game:

Nice article breaking down the NIL spending of NCAA basketball programs. Creighton is in Tier 4, somewhere between 31st-49th highest in D1 ($12.1m-15m) Iowa St and NE are in tier 5 and IA in tier 6.

Dollar Beer Night Remains, at least for this season

MECA reverses course, agrees to cover one last year of Creighton basketball's $1 beer night

Forty-eight hours after Creighton announced a change to its fan appreciation night, doubling pregame beverages from $1 to $2, the group that operates CHI Health Center reversed course on the decision.

Did they now change the cup from 12 Oz to 6 LOL

[almighty_tuna]

$2 beers, in this economy!?! I'd rather wait in line for a 7Brew. /s

[skinzfan23]

Dana looks like he is having a great time in Omaha:

[BIGO88]

He was also at UNO's practice yesterday with Coach Crutchfield who was his assistant at Oregon. I could see him sticking around and helping out with both programs.

[almighty_tuna]

Trevon Carter-Givens certainly made an introduction last night. That second half was wildly entertaining - 15 steals in the game!

[nebugeater]

So, any guessing if Altman remains living in Oregon, or if, now that he is retired, he moved back to Omaha / Nebraska?

I heard rumors he was moving back to Omaha, but nothing substantiated.

Agreed..

This team has a ways to go. But they look talented and very athletic…

I saw him eating lunch with UNO Basketball Chris Crutchfield earlier this summer at Jimi D's.

[skinzfan23]

Carter Givens looked great last night especially for his first game ever. He looked like the best big out there and it wasn’t even close. Oswin was brought in to give us a shot-blocking presence but did nothing last night. Meanwhile Trevon had 4 of them and a few thunderous dunks as well. Still would love to see a lot more out of McAndrew and Traudt, they both seem to be the exact same as they have in past years with no development.

[almighty_tuna]

I tuned in until about 10min into the game and it was something like 39-6. I believe Rob Anderson posted the halftime score of 54-17 tied the all time scoring disparity. They're good scrimmages, but I'm looking forward to seeing how they respond to some actual adversity.

[Louie]

Did they pull the starters entirely in the second half?

[skinzfan23]

No the starters "played" some in the second half. None of them really did anything and the bench did absolutely nothing, which is why they only scored 29 in the 2nd half. McAndrew had a career high 19 pts but they were all in the 1st half. He only took one shot in the 2nd. Traudt looks horrible this year. He only played 12 mins and had 4 fouls and for the second game in a row, he hasn't scored. At this point, not sure he should be getting any min.

[Louie]

Yeah, that 29-38 second half differential really threw me, so I was trying to figure out what happened.

[Omaha Cowboy]

Yeah it was 55-17 at one point in the game..

Coach Huss was not happy at all with the Jays 2nd half and finish…
