The Bluejay Underground: A Creighton Sports Message Board

Fantastic. Gonzaga is a team I had been hoping we could schedule for a long time. Cant wait to watch the Jays take the Zags on.

Great get! This is the kind of scheduling everyone was hoping for when we moved to the Big East

We definitely have a great non-con schedule this year. Gonzaga, Northwestern, two of UCLA, Baylor, Wisconsin. If we were to add Wichita State (a must series IMO), we then have 5, count them, 5, non-con games against expected top 20 or close to top 20 teams. When was the last time that happened? 1960's or 1970's? Just asking, as I know CU had some tough scheduling a few years back then.

We will not be playing Wichita next year. I'd expect cupcakes or teams with an RPI around 150-200 to fill out the rest of the schedule now.

Loving what I see out of the non-con scheduling so far. RPIs of 40 6 111 127 and 48 for guaranteed games. Then two out of 30, 9 and 13. I know they're not necessarily going to be as good but as long as we avoid more than one 300+ cupcakes (I'm looking at you Longwood and N Texas) we should improve upon our 150 non-con SOS from last year and finish the year with a solid RPI.

With Bruce heading the committee I like our chances

Our old buddy Maury "come join our shitty tournament" Hanks?

2017-18 non-conference schedule will be announced at 9:30 this morning.

Good games @ Gonzaga, Northwestern, and the KC tourney. The home non-con is absolutely horrid.
