On Thursday afternoon, the Creighton Bluejays revealed their full nonconference schedule for the upcoming 2016-17 season. The reveal, occurring on their program’s Twitter account, took up a big chunk of the late morning and early afternoon hours and by its conclusion, it’s easy to suggest that Greg McDermott & Co. have a pretty tough road lying ahead of them.
The headline matchup in this slate will no doubt be their Gavitt Games matchup against the Wisconsin Badgers. The Badgers are returning a great deal of talent from a team that went to the Sweet 16 last season and was as good as anyone in the Big Ten down the stretch.
