Creighton scored a late-summer recruiting win on Thursday, signing three-point sharpshooter Fedor Žugić from Podgorica, Montenegro. It's been a badly kept secret for awhile; when he opted out of his contract in the BBL (Bundesliga Basketball League, the top professional league in Germany) in late July, it was

Creighton's 2024-25 schedule, on paper, is a beast. Entering their opening game, 13 of their 31 games (and five of their 11 non-conference games) are classified as Q1.

Creighton has played three games against outside competition (a closed door scrimmage with Iowa State, an exhibition with Purdue, and Wednesday's opener against UTRGV).

Creighton has had two coaches over the last 31 years. Dana Altman won 327 games in 16 seasons, bringing the program back from the dead and building the foundation of Bluejay hoops as we know it. Greg McDermott has now matched his 327 wins, taking the Jays to new heights in the Big East and March Madness.

[ Box Score ] The warmup segment of Creighton's 2024-25 non-conference slate is complete, and the Bluejays won all four games by an average of 24.25 points.

After four buy games that Creighton won by an average of 24.25 points, the non-conference schedule shifts into another gear Friday night when Nebraska visits. Though they were picked in the bottom-third of the preseason Big Ten poll — tied for 12th out of 18 teams — in-state rivalry games are always hotly contested, and Nebraska's a talented team that could be NCAA Tournament-quality by March.
