Well, that was something. Fourty-eight hours after a clunky offensive performance in a season-opening win over North Dakota State, ninth-ranked Creighton helped Bluejay Nation remember, remember all the reasons it dreamt of November. If Jays fans have spent the last handful of months wondering “what could have been?” had a once-in-a-century global pandemic not picked up steam in mid-March, Tuesday evening changed the question to “what could be?”
In their first regular-season tussle with crosstown rival Nebraska-Omaha since 1995, the Bluejays unleashed an absurdly efficient offensive onslaught — 94 points, 57.6% shooting, 28 assists on 34 baskets, and six players in double figures by the end of a 27-point win.
