Creighton Plans On Being A Contender Again

Related Topics: Justin Patton

For the Creighton Bluejays, one-and-done is not a whole lot of fun.

Last season the Bluejays were the envy of the BIG EAST as they had the good fortune of rolling out 7-0 freshman center Justin Patton each night as he played his way into conference Freshman of the Year honors by helping lead Creighton to a 25-10 record and a berth in the NCAA Tournament.

Then, just like that, the NBA came calling and Patton was gone. Now a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Patton leaves a seven-foot gap in Creighton’s 2017-18 plans.

Will the Bluejays miss Patton?
