Northwestern basketball will host Creighton on November 15 in the Big Ten-Big East Gavitt Tipoff Games, according to Jon Rothstein of FanRag Sports.
The Bluejays, led by head coach Greg McDermott, went 25-10 last season (10-8 in the Big East) and qualified for the NCAA Tournament, losing to 11-seed Rhode Island in the first round. They have lost a lot this offseason, though; seniors Maurice Watson and Isaiah Zierden are gone and stud freshman Justin Patton is a likely first round pick.
Last season, Northwestern lost its Gavitt game to Butler on a buzzer-beating jumper from Kamar Baldwin.
