Elite Eight – It’s a Volleyball Thing!

The Jays Volleyball Team is ROLLIN’… down in Texas where Everything is big, the Bluejays are playing Large, like a team on a Mission! Coach Booth’s squad is leading the NCAA’s in several categories, and though facing both ranked and seeded opponents the Bluejays are toughing out wins, seemingly like an assembly line.

CU beginning to receive a little love, finally in the major media…CBS, NBC, ESPN. http://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/top-10-ncaa-tournament-resumes-indiana-ucla-outpace-duke-kentucky/ Only Matt Norlander has consistently touted Creighton thus far this season. He’s a brilliant guy.

Creighton SID Rob Anderson @_robanderson tweeted this piece: http://thecomeback.com/ncaa/creighton-bluejays-poised-to-chirp-come-march.html

The Big East is holding steady with 4 teams in the Top 25: Villanova, Jays, Xavier, and Butler. A resurging Seton Hall, Marquette, and Providence are beginning to make some noise and progress at 7-2 records as well. Big upcoming weekend for Big East Hoops.

With Marcus Foster (Buffalo game), now Cole Huff (UNL game), along with Maurice – Creighton has three (3) 1000 point scorers currently on the roster and starting!
