To open the season, the Creighton Bluejays will play host to the UT-Rio Grande Valley Vaqueros (0-1). The Vaqueros went 6-25 last season, going 2-18 in the Western Athletic Conference with no postseason play. UTRGV has played one game already on Nov. 4 against the Nebraska Cornhuskers, in which the Vaqueros lost, 87-67. Creighton’s season will start with the Vaqueros, who were picked to finish eighth in their new conference, the Southland Conference, out of 12 teams in the league. First year head coach Kahil Fennell will be attempting to recover from their first loss when the Vaqueros come into Omaha to play Creighton.
