One week after a 29-point exhibition win over Nebraska-Omaha, and one week before the regular season begins against Yale, Creighton finishes the preseason with an exhibition tuneup against UNC Pembroke. It’s a bit of an odd matchup at first glance; exhibition games generally come against teams within a reasonable geographic proximity to the host school. Since 2008 when the NCAA did away with the barnstorming teams of former collegians who made up the exhibition slates of most D1 teams, Creighton has played Central Missouri (Warrensburg, MO), Missouri Western (St. Joseph, MO), Nebraska-Omaha, Northern State (Aberdeen, SD), Rockhurst (Kansas City), U of Mary (Bismarck, ND), Sioux Falls, Upper Iowa (Fayette, IA), and Wayne State (Wayne, NE) — all teams within driving distance.
