OMAHA, Neb. -- The Creighton men's basketball team hosted Minnesota in a closed scrimmage to open the 2018-19 season. Minnesota won the first half 46-41 before the teams reset the score and played a second half, won by Creighton 40-37. The teams once again reset the score and played a third session of just eight minutes, won by the Bluejays 19-9.
"It was great for our team just to play against somebody else," said Creighton head coach Greg McDermott. "It's been 15 or 16 practices beating on each other, looking at each other every day and I think it was refreshing to get out and compete against someone else.
