Creighton is the 32nd most valuable hoops program in America based on enterprise value, according to today's Wall Street Journal.

30 years ago this would be preposterous! I know I say it too much, but it's because I'm so proud of how my school has grown.

Ok, these are great. They’re not true “throwbacks” since they’re not recreations of an old design; they’re arguably something better. A modern take on retro design elements. My designer heart is in love with these!

If Creighton does in fact unveil 70s throwbacks tomorrow, here’s what that might look like. Dug out a couple of rare color pics of them from that “interlocking CU” era from my Bluejay library.

Posted on the Creighton Twitter account a little while ago (sharing for those of you who’ve left that site).

That’s the Apke-era logo from the 70s. Has to be a teaser for new throwback unis, doesn’t it? Excited to find out tomorrow 👀

Before the Jays and Blue Demons tip off tonight, check out the Primer presented by @OmahaDouglasFCU! DePaul has some nice offensive weapons, especially from three-point range. But their record is what it is partially because their defense has been…rough.

I missed this news earlier this week, but this is a great change. "Secret" scrimmages -- and the hunt to learn what you could, then figuring out (as a CBB writer) how to hint at what happened for your readers without actually saying it -- are a thing of the past.

IMHO the key tonight for Creighton against Georgetown: the Jays have to be better on the glass and in taking care of the ball than they were at Alabama. Giving up that many "extra possession" points again will make it tough to get the win. More in the Primer:

Tonight’s game between the Jays and Tide could be a battle to see which team can better exploit the other in transition. More in the Primer:

ICYMI, I wrote about Jamiya Neal's 19 point, nine rebound, nine assist performance on Saturday in WBR's Morning After -- including these *tremendously* confident soundbites from the postgame radio show:

“I hope we shoot our way out of it. That's what this team was built on." That's Greg McDermott after the Jays' shooting woes continued yesterday. More on that in my recap on WBR:

On the importance of getting Ryan Kalkbrenner involved, even when defenses scheme to prevent it. The Pregame Primer looks at that, previews San Diego State, and more:

Defending without fouling will be a big key to Creighton winning tonight against Nebraska. I wrote about that and a whole lot more in WBR's Pregame Primer previewing the game:

Our four-year old was so excited for Creighton's first game this week that he drew this picture, which is simply fantastic. As he described it, it's a picture of "Steven" throwing the ball to the "Tall Guy" for a slam dunk while mom, dad and him yell "Go Bluejays." Gotta love it.
