Fresh off their sixth-straight win over Nebraska, the undefeated and tenth-ranked Creighton Bluejays return to the court to face the Longwood Lancers. The game was originally slated for Saturday afternoon, but was rescheduled when the opportunity for WBO, WBC & Ring Magazine Junior Welterweight Champion Of The World Bud Crawford to fight in Omaha surfaced.
