Bluejays report: Getting inside

A 1-1 record in the NIT confirmed Creighton should start next season as the MVC favorite. The Bluejays lose only three seniors from a deep team. Four of their top five scorers are back.

The Bluejays that return will form the Valley's most explosive offensive unit. Down 17 to Rhode Island in the first round of the NIT, the Bluejays rallied for a 74-73 win. The next game, an 82-54 loss at Florida, ended the season on a downer. But it shouldn't detract from the optimism for next season.

Creighton coach Dana Altman took a team with nine players in their first season of Division I basketball and made it a winner. Everyone will expect bigger things next season, and the Bluejays should be able to deliver.

Creighton's top priority is to replace the inside presence of Dane Watts and the maturity of guards Nick Bahe and Pierce Hibma. The pieces are in place on the roster, as long as players such as Kenny Lawson, Kenton Walker and Cavel Witter continue to mature.

Scoring should not be a problem. Freshman P'Allen Stinnett is one of the MVC's most dynamic players. G Booker Woodfox joined Witter as a dangerous duo off the bench. Both are capable of big scoring nights.

Hey guys, I'm trying to set up a sim league starting next season, where a simulator plays out the game and gives you realistic scores and stuff, and your Bluejays are still available! If you are interested or have any questions feel free to e-mail me at dosegorillaz@aim.com.

So, what in the hell is the deal with these tards at your games that dress up like the Oompa Loompa's from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory??  I had never in my life thought that I would see the most ridiculous joke in sports until I saw this sight at the MVC tournament this year!

I must say that they are about the biggest idiots at any sporting event that I have ever see ...(more)

I just set up a new college baseball forum a couple of days ago and I'm trying to get the word spread out. Should be fun once the season gets going.

Dear Coach Altman,

It is HIGH TIME for Cavel Witter to get the starting PG nod over Dotzler. Yeah, he still makes some "rookie" mistakes, but he also makes plays--which is something JD doesn't do.

Watts needs to step up big time, if the Jays want to make a run for the NCAA's.
