The Creighton Bluejays play at CHI Health Center Omaha in downtown Omaha, bringing Big East basketball to the Great Plains. Under Greg McDermott, the Bluejays have become a perennial NCAA Tournament team with an exciting offensive style. Creighton's blue and white colors and Omaha's passionate support create one of the best environments in the Big East. The program has made 25 NCAA Tournament appearances. Creighton's Jesuit identity and Midwest values attract recruits seeking a family atmosphere. The 17,000-seat arena creates a major-event feel for every home game.
Creighton reached the Elite Eight in 1941 and has made multiple Sweet 16 appearances in the modern era. Doug McDermott's 2014 National Player of the Year season and 3,150 career points highlighted the program's offensive excellence. Kyle Korver, Paul Silas, and Bob Portman are among the program's NBA alumni. Creighton joined the Big East in 2013 and has been a consistent conference contender.
