The Bluejay Underground: A Creighton Sports Message Board

Agreed, LJay. Unless we have a potential POY or are preseason top 10, the big names will be matched with GTown, St. John's, Marquette.

Creighton will be tweeting 2014 Non-C schedule at 11:30

TAA, it's 11:31 and you haven't re-tweeted this yet? Yer slippin' man.

Central Arkansas to start on November 14

Chicago St. on November 16

Into the fire, Oklahoma November 19

Emerald Classic homie on November 23 vs a good (last year) North Carolina Central

Emerald Classic homie vs. Eastern Illinois.

So far, five home games to start with including a Top25 team and fourcream puffs unless NC Central is as good as last year.

Wish someone would leak the date of the DePaul game. Southwest is running one of those $59 specials for the next week...

I agree to a certain extent. What if no Big East team has a NC contender in that particular season. If we are among the consensus top 2 teams in the BE that season and if Georgetown/Marquette/Villanova are not, then we would have a chance to play an Arizona or UCLA or whoever happens to be one of their projected top two teams. A lot of things would need to go in our favor, but never say never...

If you would have told me 15 years ago that Duke would play Wisconsin in the ACC/Big Ten challenge, I'd have said you were crazy... Look how that turned out. Go Jays!

Oregon might be interesting.

A lot of this was known but just to finish it off.

Prediction: 9-4

I could see us being a team that beats Oklahoma, looks impressive, then loses to teams like Tulsa and UNT due to lack of experience of some players.

I just want to win that Dec. 7 game. That's all I want.
