2018-19 Big East nonconference schedule analysis: Creighton Bluejays

Last season, the Creighton Bluejays enjoyed a nice 11-2 record in non-conference play, and went on to finish 21-12 overall.

The Bluejays had a series of heartbreaks to finish the 2017-18 season, starting with a close loss to Marquette in the regular season finale, followed by a tough overtime loss to Providence in the Big East Tournament quarterfinals. Then, in the NCAA Tournament, they were bounced out of the opening round.

However, with a new year, comes a fresh start--and a healthy Martin Krampelj. This year’s 13-game non-conference slate is highlighted by the Cayman Islands Classic, a rematch with the Gonzaga Bulldogs at the CenturyLink Center, and a meeting with the Oklahoma Sooners.
