On this edition of our commentary series looking back at some of the most memorable sporting events in Creighton history, we go back in time 21 years to March 11, 1999. On that day, the Dana Altman-led Bluejays snapped an 8-year drought without a postseason win by taking down 7-seed Louisville, 62-58, in the first round of the ’99 NCAA Tournament.
Former Creighton players Alan Huss and Doug Swenson teamed up for this episode to provide some insight into how the team dealt with lofty preseason expectations and managed to come together just in time for a memorable postseason run.
