The home schedule begins on March 6-8 as Creighton welcomes Minnesota for a three game stretch.

The BIG EAST schedule begins on the road in the nation’s capital as the Bluejays battle Georgetown (April 3-5), then look for a little revenge against Xavier at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha (April 10-12).

The Bluejays host the BIG EAST Tournament at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha from May 21-24.
“We think we have a great home slate. Obviously Arkansas, Nebraska and Minnesota jump out, but Nevada, Utah Valley and Stetson are strong teams that we haven’t played in a long time,” said head coach Ed Servais. “Our non-conference road schedule also has some matchups were are excited about, traveling to Bakersfield and Tulane are the type of games that we hope will prepare us for the BIG EAST schedule as well as make us competitive at the end of the season from an RPI standpoint.”
