Bluejays Face Key Conference Matchups in Men's and Women's Basketball

Creighton’s men’s team hosts Xavier, while the women’s team visits Georgetown, as both squads aim to strengthen their Big East standings.

Creighton's men's basketball team, led by Ryan Kalkbrenner, is on a five-game winning streak, including a notable victory over UConn, and will host Xavier in Omaha on Wednesday night.
Kalkbrenner recently reached career milestones of 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds, averaging 19.6 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 4.2 blocks during the winning streak.
Xavier’s men’s team has won four of its last five games, including a victory over UConn, but faces challenges in finishing games effectively, according to head coach Sean Miller.
Creighton’s women’s team, with an 8-1 record in Big East play, will visit Georgetown, whose Kelsey Ransom recently scored 25 points in a loss to Marquette.
The women’s matchup marks the first meeting of the season between Creighton and Georgetown, with Creighton averaging 73.4 points per game and Georgetown excelling in rebounding.
