Creighton Bluejays Men's Basketball History
The Creighton University Bluejays of Omaha, Nebraska launched their men’s basketball program in 1911. The team remained independent until 1922, when the Bluejays joined the North Central Conference and immediately won the conference title in their first season under head coach Arthur A. Schabinger. The Bluejays moved to the Missouri Valley Conference for the 1935-36 season and once again won the conference title in their first year. Schabinger’s successor, Eddie Hickey, led the team to their first NCAA tournament during the 1940-41 season. They would appear in the tournament again in 1962 and 1964 under coach Red McManus, finishing in the Sweet Sixteen stage, followed by the same result in 1974
Although Creighton began as an independent program, and have spent the majority of their existence in the Missouri Valley Conference, the team has been a member of the Big East since the 2013-14 season. Under head coach Greg McDermott, the Bluejays have claimed one regular season championship in the Big East, tying for first in the 2019-20 season.
Creighton has ushered several players into the NBA, including Paul Silas, Kevin McKenna, Benoit Benjamin, Kyle Korver and Anthony Tolliver. One of the program’s most decorated alumni is current NBA forward Doug McDermott, who was the consensus national player of the year in 2014 after leading men’s college basketball in scoring during the 2013-14 season. McDermott graduated with the fifth-most points in NCAA Division I men's basketball and currently ranks seventh.

Creighton is still strong but Greg McDermott has a lot of work to do with the team. McDermott is lucky to have Steven Ashworth, and Steven Ashworth and the rest of his fantastic recruiting class. Creighton will build strength under Greg McDermott and the coaching team and hopefully go to the dance and hopefully the. Elite Eight or final four. Go JAYS BASKETBALL ??
It was nice to be able to get a courtside seat in a section we normally can’t afford or is available. It was worth the time and money to see a high level opponent and contribute to a good fundraiser cause. We will support more of these types of events
My son, Creighton and I attended the Charity exhibition game on Oct 26. It was a good time. We had good eats and plenty of leg room.
Our seats sat right behind the guardrail at the top on an entrance tunnel. The metal bars were to high and impeded our view. We either had to duck to look thru the bars or stand up to see over them. All CHI Center would have to do is cut the 6 inches of the top crossbar to see over it. I'm sure it's a safety thing but made for a miserable view.
Had a fun time watching the blue jays play! Great atmosphere and such a fun overall experience!
Great customer service with emails directing access to view tickets and accessible to use at the auditorium entrance.
Great venue! Very impressive court for a collegiate basketball game. Sound system and video screens enhanced the experience. So glad Creighton won!
I went to Creighton vs Marquette. The game was at the CHI Health Center in Omaha. Creighton won 83-82. I would recommend to anyone going. The food was just so so. Seats were good and comfortable. Halftime was a gymnastics group that was excellent.
The game was so exciting and the stadium was so nice. We were so impressed and loved every second of being there.
Getting to our Seats was easy just dark. Entertainment was great first time at a game so glad they pulled off the win
