Puck drop on Friday is 7 p.m. and the first 3,000 fans in attendance will receive a Jake Guentzel bobblehead.
Creighton women’s basketball will host its annual Pink Out against No. 1 UConn on Sunday at 1 p.m. at the CHI Health Center, and tickets are still available. The Bluejays will raise money to fight cancer for the American Cancer Society and Hope Lodge. Before Sunday’s matchup, though, Creighton heads to Marquette tonight at 7 p.m. with an opportunity to improve to 4-3 in Big East Conference play. Tonight’s game will be broadcast on TruTV.
Creighton men’s basketball split two Big East matchups the past week to improve to 10-6 on the season and 4-1 in conference play. On Sunday, Creighton surrendered a 16-point second-half lead to lose a heartbreaker to Seton Hall, who took the final 56-54 lead with 1.3 seconds left in the game.
Wednesday, the Bluejays rounded out the road trip at Villanova, who entered the game 12-2 overall and 3-0 in the conference. An unlikely culprit, the Creighton bench, scored 27 points collectively to help secure the 76-72 victory in Philadelphia.
Creighton returns home on Saturday at 1 p.m. to host St. John’s for a powder blue and white stripe out. Information on what color to wear by section can be found on Creighton men’s basketball social media.
