Creighton is six games into the season and to this point they have no offensive identity. The problem was created by an influx of capable athletes that the Jays added in the offseason. You now have about ten guys who have the talent or athleticism to be on the court, but not everyone knows their place.If you ask me, the optimal starting lineup this point would be as follows:5 - Kenny Lawson4 -

It's been awhile, but I wanted to comment on where Creighton is at so far this season. I've been able to see almost all of their games online and even attended their devastating loss against a solid Illinois State team.The Bluejays are having a Jekyll and Hyde-type season thus far. In some bouts they look like a legitimate top 30 team. The common denominators in these wins are good play by Lawson

The 2008 season for Creighton basketball was one of ups and downs. We saw glimpses into what the next season could be with promising talent like Cavel Witter, P'Allen Stinnet and Booker Woodfox. Unfortunately for the fans and players like Dane Watts, we had to witness the growing pains. Although Dane Watts didn't have the type of year that many of us hoped for, he will be missed in the Bluejay

After a wild finish in a defeat of Bradley on Saturday, the Bluejays men's basketball team is poised to make a run in the Arch Madness tournament is St. Louie. Creighton will kick-off the tournament with a rematch against Bradley on Friday. Bradley finished the season with a 17-14 overall record and 9-9 in the conference.

The ride that the Jays have taken us on this season is almost over. Creighton ends its regular season basketball schedule with Bradley at the Qwest on Saturday night. There's plenty of room for optimism. Dana Altman took an unexperienced team and fought hard in the Missouri Valley Conference. The next few years are looking pretty sweet. We'll have two options at point guard, big guys who keep

It only took one week for the Creighton Bluejays to implode. It started with a loss to Evansville, which should have never happened. The Jays had control of the game until the last few minutes when Evansville crept back on an unbelievable shooting night from the free throw line. That's no excuse. Creighton should have never lost that basketball game to a bottom-of-the-league team that was missing

Opportunities are arising for the Creighton Bluejays. An announcement Monday locked the Jays into a tv spot for their Bracket Buster game against Oral Roberts University. They will play on ESPN2 at 2 pm on February 23. More on Creighton's 2008 Bracket Buster game versus Oral Roberts.That's not the only recognition the Bluejays have received lately.

The archrivals of the Missouri Valley Conference meet up in Omaha this Sunday when the Bluejays host the the Salukis for third place in MVC rankings. There's no doubt that Creighton has an outside shot of making the field of 65 this year, but they'll have to win this game and that will need to snowball into a hot streak. This is a must-have win for the Jays if they don't want to depend on winning

It's hard to not have something taken out of you when you've lost three close, meaningful games in the Missouri Valley. This is especially true when you've lost two conference games at home and you've been swept by the team that you're chasing.Even after all of that adversity, the youthful Bluejays squad did not give up on Saturday when they shocked Wichita State, 65-63. Creighton was on the

After letting the lead slip and playing over 10 minutes of the second half without a field goal, the Bluejays lost in an upsetting fashion to Southern Illinois on Saturday in Carbondale.Now, after losing their last two, Creighton needs one back when they face the #17 ranked team in the nation, the Drake Bulldogs. The meeting will take place in Des Moines and tv coverage will only be available in

Ouch. I'm sure the Jays are still feeling the sting that Drake left behind after defeating them on their own court last Tuesday. The overtime loss brings the total to two in-conference defeats at the Qwest this season.Now Creighton must head to Carbondale to take on the Saluki's in an environment that is almost impossible to win at. I'm sure you've heard about Southern Illinois only losing one

A few of the younger Jays found their wings in conference play against Northern Iowa on Saturday. Booker Woodfox was on fire from behind the arc and backup point guard Cavel Witter looked the best he's been since the Drexel game. With the victory over Northern Iowa, Creighton is now 5-2 in Missouri Valley Conference play. They are in sole possession of 3rd place, behind undefeated Drake and a

Do you hear that clicking noise? It's Creighton finally coming together and giving themselves a chance to compete in the Mo Valley. I know it was Evansville, but there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic.First and foremost is the play by P'Allen. He's finally starting to play like a star (a star within the Creighton system that is). Just watching all of his assists last games gave me

The Jays survived against Missouri State on Saturday to come up with their first Valley win this season. It was a battle down to the last second when Missouri State threw up a shot for the win and missed. It doesn't appear that things are going to get much easier in the Missouri Valley Conference. Winning this game should give Creighton some confidence and hopefully spark a winning streak, but

I just have two things to say and then I'll sit back and see if Altman can transform this team, which he certainly has the capability to do.1. P'Allen Stinnet is not your savior. I've become annoyed with everyone blabbing about him. Why? Because he had two high scoring games? Because he's a guard that can dunk? The fact is he is talented. And, he is going to be special. But right now he is no

Wow. I was way off. I expected the Jays to pull this one off in a close match, but Illinois State dominated Creighton for the entire affair. In fact, the Bluejays are lucky the score was even that close.For those of you who didn't get to see the game, it was embarrassing. Illinois State breezed through the Bluejay press all night. In the first half, #32 for the Redbirds could not miss from the

Creighton opens conference play today by hosting the 8-3 Illinois State Redbirds. The Jays come into the game tonight posting a 9-1 record. Creighton looks just as good, if not better, than anyValley team up to this point.Illinois State has started their season off strong. All three of their losses were away games, including a 13-point loss to then no. 8 Indiana. Their other two losses were Kent

Last night against North Carolina Central, Dana Altman played a myriad of lineups. Creighton was only up 10 points at half, but spreading out the minutes gave the Jays the rest they will need when they face Arkansas Little Rock tomorrow. This game will mark Creighton's third game this week.The Trojans of Little Rock recently defeated Pepperdine to improve their record to 9-1 and tie the '95-'96

The Omaha World Herald is reporting that JUCO star Tom Whitehead has committed to Creighton. He is a 6-foot-6 forward that will enroll next month in order to practice with the Jays for the rest of the season.Whitehead averaged 22 points and 8 boards per contest last season and was named freshman of the year in his JUCO league.

Earlier this week, Creighton blasted Houston Baptist at the Qwest Center, 110-73. Tonight, the Jays host North Carolina Central, who bring a 1-10 record to Omaha. Hopefully this game is another blowout, but Creighton needs to stay very focused in their next two games.A loss in either of the next two games (or even a close game) would more than likely destroy the Bluejays chances of making the

This post is long overdue, but here goes. Anthony Tolliver has been aquired by Iowa Energy, a team in the NBA's Developmental League, or D-League. Teams are allowed to select players from a player pool.Iowa Energy play in Des Moines, only a few hours away from Omaha. It might be fun to go watch a game some time.

Creigthon bounced back this weekend from a loss against Xavier and a deficit against St. Joe's late in the second half. Dane Watts came up huge with two late free throw with the pressure on to send the battle into overtime. Dane Watts has to be in the game. I will be shocked if he does not play over 30 minutes per game for the rest of the season (given that he is not in foul trouble). Say what

I didn't have an opportunity to watch the game on Wednesday due to the tragic event that took place at the Westroads on Wednesday. Creighton seemed to be in the game for most of the first half until Lavender went nuts and led the Musketeers on a 14-2 run. He ended up with 28 points and 10 assists.Josh Dotzler had a terrific game, at least stat-wise. He led the team in rebounds, scored 8 and added

OK, so Drexel turned out to be an easy test on the road. They are struggling bad, though they have had success in the past few years. Tomorrow, however, we will see what the Bluejays are really made of when they take the court with No. 21 Xavier in Cincy.A win here has to propel Creighton into the top 25, but I'm getting ahead of myself.

Creighton will host the Savannah State Tigers from Georgia tonight at 7:05. This should hopefully be a cupcake matchup for the Bluejays that will bring them to 4 - 0 on the season and help further create an identity for this youthful team before they take the court with some more talented clubs.What to watch -It will be interesting to watch the minutes between Dotzler and Witter from here on out.

The Bluejays were able to fend off the Huskers second half comeback to sustain a 74 - 62 victory. The first half was all Creighton. Creighton forced 17 first-half turnovers with their suffocating press defense. Josh Dotzler ended the game with five steals. At the end of the half, the Bluejays were up 47 - 20 on the Huskers.The second half was mostly dominated by the Huskers. With a few minutes

It should be a fun one at the Qwest Center on Saturday. Creighton will be taking on state rivals Nebraska. Both teams are undefeated and looking for a boost to send them into conference play with a tough victory.The Husker's Alex Maric is their biggest threat. Somehow this oaf is predicted to be a All-American. He is good, but if anything, he was just blessed with a big body. I think he is

Senior Dane Watts tooled Mississippi Valley State on Saturday for 26 points and 9 rebounds in 25 minutes. The Delta Devils tried to sneak back in the game early in the second half, but the Jays were able to hold them off and eventually provide themselves with a comfortable lead.Through two games, Watts has consistently been a leader on the floor.

It's safe to say that we're in the same boat we were in before the game started. The Bluejays look like they have a lot of promise, but some elements of their game were a little bit shaky in game one of the season.I wouldn't read too much into the fact that the Jays couldn't buy a bucket in the first 10 minutes of the game. We have a completely revamped roster and many of the players were

Are you kidding me? What happened at the Qwest Center Friday night?I'll tell you what happened. P'Allen Stinnet went off in the second half for 23 points and even ended the game with 3 steals. He was absolutely untouchable.Too bad the entire game wasn't that pretty. The Jays were pitiful in the first 10 points of the game. Although Creighton got a big first win, the futurte of this team for 2008

Creighton opens its season at home Friday against DePaul. The Blue Demons pose some matchup problems for the Bluejays with three centers over 6'10,'' including a 7'2'' Freshman. DePaul finished last season 20-14 in a powerful Big East conference.The Bluejays defeated EA Sports in an exhibition match last week, scoring 88 points. The team is youthful and inexperienced, but has potential to

The NCAA basketball season is getting closer as the Bluejays will be hosting DePaul on Friday, Nov. 9. The Jays will also hit the hardwood eight days before that in an exhibition game against the EA All-Stars.It should be interesting to see what kind of start this youthful club gets off too. They were flawless in Canada against mediocre talent, so it's hard to know what to expect. If the team

It's too early to have an idea what Creighton Men's basketball is all about this season. However, everyone still wants to see the preseason predictions. A recent Creighton basketball preview for the 2007-2008 season has the Jays ranked #60 in the nation - a fair assessment. The article was from collegehoopsnet.com.We certainly have an upside with the talent on our team. The "x-factors" are team

Over Labor Day, Creighton made their way up to Canada to play five exhibition games in three days. The Jays went 5-0 defeating Calgary in the final game, who had upset Weber State on Sunday. Weber State was the only other team from the United States in the tournament.It's hard to pinpoint the talent level of these Canadian teams because I didn't actually get to watch them play. I've only read

Former Creighton scoring phenom, Nate Funk, came up short on his strides to make an NBA roster, but he'll still be on the hardwood. Funk will be playing in Germany for Bremerhaven. I believe the name of the league is Bundesliga, but I'm not sure. The website is a bit confusing, much like basic math is confusing to a Saluki fan. Only kidding.Anyway, hope he finds his way back to the states. I'll

At a recent banquet, put on by the Kyle Korver Foundation, Kyle Korver and Nick Bahe get the best of head coach Dana Altman. Bahe mimicked Altman's voice as he cited numerous "Altmanisms." Korver closed the festivities by having the entire team stand up and chant the infamous Arkansas chant. You can see both clips below:Nick Bahe's Altman ImpressionPig Sooie!

Hi all. In the next few weeks I will try to implement some links to good places around Omaha and online to buy Creighton Bluejays apparel. I'm not sure how I will format this, but I will more than likely just create a category called Jays Shop, or something to that effect and add posts to it that highlight stores and websites that sell Bluejay jerseys, shirts, etc.If you know of any good shops,

I finally saw Booker Woodfox play last Sunday at Bellevue University in the Council Bluffs Summer League tournament. I can't believe how quick he is, it's obscene. He can get to the bucket against anyone. From what I saw, he's very offensive-minded. He hit a few deep threes, but he also seemed to settle for jump shots quite a bit. I think that's just because it's a summer league.Anyway, long

Beginning Sept. 3, The Jays will take part in a three day tournament in Alberta. The games will be played at the University of Calgary. Weber State will also partake in the event, however they will not match up against the Bluejays.The tournament will be exempt, meaning it will not count on Creighton's record for the 2008 season. Teams are allowed to play in an exempt tournament every four

It appears Anthony Tolliver has finally got some playing time in the NBA summer league. For a look at his stats for each game, go to this site and click on the box score for the game you'd like to see. I found this in a post on The Bluejay Cafe. For some reason Tolliver is not on the players list on the NBA's summer league page.I'm not sure if you can watch archives of the game, but some

Isaac Miles is long gone from the Creighton program, so I don't want to spend a lot of time on this subject. However, I must ask: Why the hell did Isaac Miles transfer? I've tried to find the answer through numerous outlets such as local sports radio, GoCreighton.com and Omaha World Hearld, but I can't find the answer anywhere. If you have any ideas please, please leave a comment and let me

Here is an article I wrote about the summer league that the Jays are playing in this year. It's kinda long, but there's some interesting stuff in there...I think.The “off-season” has become a bit more competitive for the Creighton Bluejays of the Missouri Valley Conference in the past two years. Instead of getting their on-court fix in unorganized pick-up games around the city, they now have a

Nate Funk has been playing for the Golden State Warriors summer league team in Las Vegas this July. In his first game, he only played a few minutes and didn't attempt a shot. In his next two appearances, it appears he struggled a bit, just by looking at his stats. The good news is that he tore it up in his fourth game. He had 14 points on 5 for 9 shooting, including 3 of four 3-pointers. He

Josh Dotzler has made some changes in the offseason. He's been working extra hard to get back to where he was two season ago as one of the top freshman in the Missouri Valley. From what I've seen, he's well past that. Dotzler has been dedicated to working out and working on his game. He hit the gym hard after the season and has become much bulkier. In addition his offense seems to be much

Freshman guard P’Allen Stinnet went under the knife on Monday. He underwent arthroscopic surgery on Monday to repair torn cartilage in his knee reports Omaha.com, according to two people knowledgeable of the situation. He is expected to be out of commission for 6 – 8 weeks. He injured his leg by falling during a pick up game on the Creighton University campus. He had also been playing well in
