The Creighton players said “blue state” when they walked off the court after another win in the Nebraska-Creighton women’s basketball series on Sunday.
It was thanks to some impressive three-point shooting that the once-a-year rivalry game is staying that way in this sport for another year.
Creighton made a season-best 14 three-pointers in a 79-74 win against the Huskers in front of 3,967 fans at Pinnacle Bank Arena. The win ended Nebraska’s 5-0 start to the season. Creighton (4-1) has beaten Nebraska each of the last four years.
Creighton coach Jim Flanery says it’s easy to say that the game against Nebraska means a lot to the players, but probably hard to really gauge.
