It appears the Creighton men’s basketball team will participate once again in the Gavitt Games for the 2017-18 season. The Bluejays will travel to the Chicago metro to take on Northwestern on November 14th, according to a report by Jon Rothstein on Saturday afternoon.
The Wildcats made the NCAA Tournament last season for the first time and also notched their first NCAA Tournament win in a first round game against Vanderbilt before falling to eventual National finalist Gonzaga in the round of 32. Northwestern should be strong again in 2017-18 with only two senior role players coming off a team led by head coach Chris Collins, who has revitalized the program with a school record 24 wins last season.
