In this week’s edition of Creighton Commentary, head coach Jim Flanery, current assistant coach and former star player Carli Tritz, as well as Sports Information Director Glen Sisk sit down with us to provide some insight and analysis of the women’s basketball program’s first NCAA Tournament win in 19 years.
On March 23, 2013, the Bluejays traveled to Knoxville, Tennessee to take on 7-seed and 22nd-ranked Syracuse in a Round of 64 matchup that took place at the historic home of the Lady Vols, Thompson-Boling Arena. Three days prior to the game — in a move that added some juice to the game itself — the Big East Conference announced that Creighton would be joining a new basketball-centric version of the league beginning the following season, while Syracuse, on the other hand, was ending its membership status after 34 years and heading to the Atlantic Coast Conference.
