LEXINGTON, KY– Until the final whistle, the Creighton men’s basketball team wasn’t intimidated. It wasn’t about the opponent—it was about Creighton basketball. It was about their identity, their resilience and how they would come together when it mattered most. Up against Auburn, No. 1 team in the nation, in the Round of 32, the Bluejays played with passion and determination, making the Tigers work for every basket.
But despite a gutsy effort, their March Madness run came to an end with an 82-70 loss to the nation’s best, falling just short of an unforgettable season and an appearance in their fourth consecutive Sweet 16 game.
