The transfer portal works both ways. We have enjoyed many players that have come from other schools. All of the young men that have decided to move on have made huge contributions to our program. I wish them all the best as they continue their journey. I hope you will do the same
While Big Ryan will be out the rest of the tournament, his knee injury was not as significant as originally thought. We expect a full recovery in the next 2-3 months. Our 🙏 were answered!

The Jays are an example of what can happen when people work for and with each other. Our world could use a little more of this. I’m incredibly proud to work with this group of special people.

I appreciate my friend,Jack, taking a break from his cancer treatments to spend Selection Sunday with us. The fight against cancer NEVER stops. Keep fighting, Jack. We are with you every step of the way. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Heaven gained an angel this week. She had no agenda for herself. It was all about her genuine care and concern for others. Rest in peace, Mom. I love you.
I couldn’t be more proud of
@RyanKalkbrenner
. He elevated his game at a time of the season his team needed him the most. All of our success would not have been possible without him. Wishing him a speedy recovery!!
Wow...hard to come up with words to express my gratitude to our players, coaching staff, Rass and his staff and, of course, our wonderful fans. It was a season to remember. Thx for going on this wonderful journey with us!

Congrats to
@VUCoachJWright
on his retirement. I became a better coach coaching against him, and a better person by watching him interact with others. He was great for the Big East and for college hoops. Wishing him all the best in the next chapter of his life.

I think the world of this kid. He is mature beyond his years. He has given Creighton nation a freshman season to remember. I promise you, the best is yet to come! Love you R2…
👊🏻❤️🙏
A moment I will never forget. Couldn’t be more proud of our team and coaching staff. A great day to be a Bluejay without a doubt!! On to the next!!

By my guesstimate I've coached about 200 players the last 29 yrs. Blessed to say I don't feel I've worked a day in my life. There is nothing more rewarding than watching a young adult grow into a man. This Christmas season I'm incredibly thankful for their impact on my life.
Sources: West Virginia is finalizing a five-year deal to hire Drake’s Darian DeVries as the school’s next men’s basketball coach. DeVries led Drake to the NCAA tournament in three of the past four seasons.
None of this would be possible without
@rasmussen_bruce
. His vision for our program as we ushered into the Big East is a big reason many of our programs continue to be successful. Thanks for the role you play in my life, Ras!
Tonight was only the end of Baylor Scheierman’s *college* career, many bright days ahead.
Going to miss watching him in this uniform.
2,233 points
1,257 rebounds
580 assists
356 three pointers
The only player in college basketball history to have those career numbers.
Thanks to all the Bluejay fans that made the trip to Lawrence. Your enthusiasm did not go unnoticed. I love this team. No quit in them whatsoever. We will bounce back.

Awesome environment for college basketball yesterday. Our team was locked in for 40 minutes versus a terrific Villanova squad. Couldn’t be more proud of the Bluejays!!
#RDJ
Both of these wonderful people have turned 89 the last few weeks. Mom on Jan 22 and Dad today. I’m so grateful for everything they have done for me. Love you both. Happy birthday, Earl!!
My little girl left for college today. I’m not sure there is stronger love than a fathers love for his daughter. So proud of the young woman she has become. Go set the world on fire

It’s easy to be a coach, teammate or fan when things are good. It’s challenging when they are not. 352 Division 1 teams and I’m rolling with these dudes. Wouldn’t trade this group for anyone! Many good things in their future!
#RDJ
How many people are blessed enough to reconnect with their 1st grade teacher, 51 years later??! Colette had a huge impact on my life. It was awesome to have her attend practice today and to have her in the stands to cheer on the Jays tomorrow!!
Congrats to
@Khyri_2
for exhibiting the discipline to complete his college degree while playing in the NBA. I couldn’t be more proud of you Tazz!
#RDJ
If we all impacted young people’s lives like Brad did, the world would be a much better place. My thoughts and prayers are with his family during the difficult time. RIP my friend. 🙏🙏
Gretna basketball coach Brad Feeken has sadly lost his fight with cancer.
But this is how he’ll be remembered - passionate, fiery, and a man who loved his players & students.
Keeping the Gretna community in our thoughts & prayers today.
#ForFeek
While I’m disappointed in today’s outcome, we aren’t about pointing fingers. We will continue to work on what we can control. Thanks so much for the incredible support of 18,000 strong. Four home games left, hope to see you there!
#rolljays
Happy Thanksgiving to all Creighton fans and supporters!! While we weren’t our best today, I assure you that this group will go back to work this weekend with a desire to improve. I’m blessed to coach this wonderful group of young men!!
#RDJ
Proud of both of these guys. Congrats to Hendo on making his first NCAA tourney and to Dave on another terrific year with the Bison. They both “get it.” They are what’s right about college basketball.
Thanks to Coach Otz and the Cyclones for hosting us today. It was a great learning experience for our team. Good luck to the Cyclones as the season approaches!
Doug McDermott scored 14 points by the 7:08 mark of the game.
That's the most points any player has scored in the first 5 minutes of a game this season.
Lots of reflection on a day like 2day. Trying to think of a word to capture my feelings. Blessed, is the best way to describe it. So many wonderful people that I’ve crossed paths with the last 25 yrs.While the great wins are really fun, it’s the relationships that really matter.
Greg McDermott's coaching tree...
Eric Henderson - Won Summit Tourney & Regular Season
TJ Otzelberger - Won Big 12 Tourney
Steve Lutz - Won CUSA Tourney
Darian DeVries - Won MVC Tourney
Alan Huss - Won Big South Regular Season

Incredible environment in the C'link today! Thanks to our amazing fans for their incredible support. Couldn't be more proud of our guys. They played for each other!

Great days ahead for
@TrickyTrey23
! Thanks for your contributions to Bluejay basketball. You were a first class representative of our program on and off the floor!!
I talked with Kevin Willard.He simply wished his guys could have had the opportunity to celebrate the BE title in the same fashion we did. I would have felt the same if the roles were reversed. It’s and honor for us to share the title with two great programs in Seton Hall & Nova.
Steven Ashworth dedicated tonight's game to his nephew, Clayton, who has a brain aneurysm.
His sister and her family were expected to be in Omaha tonight, but Clayton is stuck in the hospital.
We really missed our 18,000 friends in the CHI tonight. Great performance by our guys Vs a much improved Nebraska team. Time to get ready for Big East play!! # RDJ
