The Bluejays, who reached the third round of the NCAA Tournament, are replacing four starters, including Doug McDermott this season, but Creighton has an experienced roster with five seniors among their top eight players. Austin Chatman is in his third year as a starter at point guard and leads Creighton in assists (4.6 apg) and is second in scoring at 11.3 points per game. The Bluejays, who have eight players averaging at least five points per game, are led by sophomore Isaiah Zierden, who comes off the bench and averages 12.5 points per game while shooting 45 percent from 3-point range. Greg McDermott is in his fifth year at CU after coaching at Iowa State, Northern Iowa, North Dakota State and Wayne State. McDermott and Miles have squared off several times before during their days at the Division II level and have met three times while leading Division I programs, a 67-54 Iowa State win over North Dakota State in 2006-07 and victories in the last two matchups between the two schools 3 Quote Link to comment
Comish Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 After the last couple of years of smackdowns.............this game is a MUST for the Huskers................... Quote Link to comment
Vizsla1 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 No doubt Comish- I am headed down around 3 to get primed for the no sit Sunday. Hope we can bring the same energy that we had the last time we did a NSS against Wiskey. Already laid bets with my Creighton cronies. Quote Link to comment

Comish Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Loved that Miles tweaked the Jayskers with the innocent line about wondering if they will sit or stand when Riley is introduced....... Quote Link to comment
74Hunter Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Loved that Miles tweaked the Jayskers with the innocent line about wondering if they will sit or stand when Riley is introduced....... Lol. I'm shocked that Creighton has been as good this year with as much as the lost. May have to go check this game out. Quote Link to comment
NUpolo8 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Important fact to remember about today. The difference between a Creighton sorority sister and a scarecrow is that one belongs in a field and the other scares away birds and children. Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 My 2 Jaysker brother-in-laws are going to be difficult to tolerate at Christmas if the Huskers lose. Quote Link to comment
Comish Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Although it will be a nice touch if Coach Riley is introduced tonight at the Creighton game................given that ALL he has on his plate currently..................I'd just as soon he was out visiting with our verbal commits and hiring staff. I'll be happy to have him welcomed at a future game after the "dead period" for recruiting occurs in a little more than a week. 1 Quote Link to comment
