Christmas came a little early with basketball in Omaha. Well, maybe that’s a little bit of an exaggeration, but the opportunity to watch a game came earlier than normal when Creighton and Omaha were able to face off for charity on Thursday night, with the Bluejays running away with a 96-67 exhibition victory.
Marcus Foster and Khyri Thomas combined for 41 points to lead the Bluejays, while Manny Suarez made his Bluejay debut off the bench close to a double-double with 14 points and 8 rebounds. Creighton was up 14 at halftime, but an early run in the second half put the game out of reach for Omaha.
