Omaha, Neb. -- Less than two hours after learning the men's team was dancing, Creighton's women's basketball team officially joined the party, earning an at-large bid to the 2022 Women's NCAA Basketball Championship. The tenth-seeded Bluejays will face seventh-seeded Colorado on Friday, March 18th in Iowa City, Iowa. Television coverage and tip times will be announced later tonight.
The women's squad is making its eighth appearance in the NCAA Tournament, including the fifth under current head coach Jim Flanery. Creighton's last trip to the Big Dance came in 2018 when the Bluejays defeated Iowa in the opening round, then went on to battle UCLA inside the historic venue of Pauley Pavilion.
