After falling to Iowa 72-61 in the opener of the Las Vegas Invitational, the Texas Tech basketball team is set to face another midwestern basketball power, Creighton. The Bluejays from Omaha, Nebraska have long been one of the top mid-major programs in the nation but are now in the Big East and will be another tough opponent for the No. 12 Red Raiders.
Averaging 74.3 points per game and giving up 71, Creighton is 4-2 on the year after dropping Thursday’s game to San Diego State 83-52. Their other loss of the year was a 79-69 defeat at the hands of a Michigan team that is currently one of the hottest in the nation.
