Creighton comes into Wednesday night’s intra-state battle with Nebraska riding a two-game losing streak, and has a 5-3 overall record. Nebraska enters at 6-3, with an OT loss to Miami and an unimpressive win over Abilene Christian in their last two games. Despite similar records, the feeling around the two programs couldn’t be more different because of how they’ve arrived at those marks.
The Bluejays dropped a game to Arizona State last week where they played a terrific first half both offensively and defensively, but were outplayed on both ends in the second half and missed three chances to win it in the final minute including two missed free throws that would have tied it in the waning seconds.
