Wildcats Head to Omaha for Clash with Creighton Bluejays

Omaha, NE – The Kansas State Wildcats (6-4) face a challenging road test today as they travel north to take on the Creighton Bluejays (5-4) at CHI Health Center Omaha. Tipoff is scheduled for 2:10 PM CT and will be broadcast on FOX.

The Wildcats are looking to build on a recent dominant victory, but must avoid the inconsistent effort that plagued them during a four-game losing streak. Despite Creighton’s underwhelming record, their losses have come against formidable opponents expected to compete in the NCAA Tournament, including Gonzaga, Baylor, Iowa State, and Nebraska.

“We need to bring the energy and focus we had at the start of the season,” said coach Jerome Tang. “Creighton is a tough team, and we know we’ll have to play our best to come out with a win on the road.”

Creighton’s offensive struggles in their losses could be a crucial factor. While averaging 74 points per game, they have been held well below that mark in defeats. If the Wildcats can replicate their offensive output from earlier this season, they stand a good chance of securing a victory.

This game marks the first meeting between Jerome Tang’s K-State team and Creighton, reigniting a rivalry that dates back a century. Despite the schools’ close proximity, they have only met 16 times previously, most recently in the 2018 NCAA Tournament when the Wildcats defeated the Bluejays on their way to an Elite Eight appearance.

Fans can catch the action on FOX and FoxSports.com, with Brandon Gaudin and Donny Marshall providing commentary. Radio coverage will be available on the K-State Sports Network, K-Statesports.com, and the Varsity Network app, as well as on satellite radio at Sirius/XM Ch. 390.
