I am disappointed to see Creighton move because of how it affects the Missouri Valley. I live in Kansas City and get to watch quite a bit of MVC basketball. It's a really fun conference. Sad to see it lose a key member.I don't understand Creighton to the Catholic 7/Big East. Why go Omaha when you could get St. Louis, or VCU or even a Duquesne?
Well at least Creighton fits the Catholic theme
Creighton also has a lot of fan support. They're top 10 in attendance nationally.
Western Nebraska. All I'm saying is the NNNBE didn't need to go all over to find someone. Their situation is far from the desperate times being seen by the America12, or whatever they are calling themselves. The C7 could have kept things a little closer, and still been just as strong. And maybe stronger. Add Duquesne, and you have a closer rival. Add creighton, and you have Marquette and Butler...and then Nebraska.
Eastern Nebraska on the Iowa border.
Ah, we'll, I guess that demonstrates my (and virtually everyone else's) knowledge of Nebraska.
And those that didn't probably got shunned by the neighborhood.I have an unfair advantage, I've been there. It was during football season. Everyone was wearing Husker gear and every other house had a Nebraska flag.
Very disappointed in youAh, we'll, I guess that demonstrates my (and virtually everyone else's) knowledge of Nebraska.
Very disappointed in you
My wife went there and I was unimpressed.Nebraska sucks but Omaha is a GREAT and Creighton's campus is really nice.
Every year we go back and drive up north to my mother in law's home in Page Nebraska. It is the most boring 3 hour drive one could imagine.LOL. I should have anticipated that.

So does St. Bonaventure, but I doubt they were considered.
Holy a Creighton thread on here.
So I'll chime in here and say I am a CU season ticket holder ready for the BE. I'm also a Syracuse fan, bigger football, but still pretty big on the basketball side. My family is from Rome/Utica area but I had the pleasure of being the first born in Omaha after the move, so I grew up with stories of Davis, Brown, Little from my grandpa and the 84 win against Nebraska and the 87 season from my dad, and have been to many football games including the Fiesta bowl in 97.
With that being said CU is a much better fit for the BE than SLU, SLU plays in a on campus small arena with little fan support, CU plays in a 18,000 seat arena and sells out it regularly also with Nebraska being terrible at basketball they are the only show in the state and area.
Omaha is a good town but yea when you get west of it the rest of the state sucks and I hate Nebraska football and their fans.
I just can't wait to still hate Georgetown for many years to come.
