Bluejays Will Hold Heads High After Loss
Special to BIG EAST.com
NEW YORK - In the aftermath of his team’s 74-60 loss to top-seeded Villanova in the BIG EAST Men’s Basketball Tournament championship game on Saturday, Creighton coach Greg McDermott said that there would be no tears shed.
Instead he told his youthful and upstart Bluejays squad to do the exact opposite as they head home to Omaha.
“I want them to hold their heads high, to stick their chest out when someone congratulates them, I want a firm handshake and say thank you and understand that we lost to the defending national champ and the likely No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament,” said McDermott.
