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! #RDJ

This one is a bit emotional. I am incredibly proud of Kalk. All he did for 5 years was work at improving himself, but never at the expense of his teammates. He is about everything that is right about college basketball. Well deserved! Congrats Ryan!!!

There has been a few times in the last 15 years that I was especially proud to be a Bluejay. Tonight was one of them. Thank you @CreightonVB for treating us to an incredible season. You played with joy and for each other….a great example for others to emulate. #RDJ 👏👏

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. #respect

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.

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!

West Virginia got a good one!! Drock is the absolute best. I’m incredibly happy for him and his family!
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.

And above all that… he’s an absolute awesome dude!!
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.

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

Congrats Doug!!!
Last night Doug McDermott became the 3rd player in history with at least 6,000 NBA points & 3,000 NCAA points, joining Pete Maravich & Hersey Hawkins.
It came on the 15 year anniversary of his first points with Creighton @BluejayMBB.

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

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.
