Not playing us next year. Again. I'm starting to get sick of these guys...

So much for the Jesuit love.

The Creighton explanation has some errors. Don't know how much of it is essentially true:

"...2010, and the return game was to be played the following season. After that season, the return game agreement was extended to give teams 18 months to return it, and the Bluejays were originally slated to head to Chicago to play the Ramblers in December 2011. However, due to some remodeling that was being done by Loyola to their basketball arena and Creighton not able to accommodate a different date, the game was pushed back another year to the 2012-13 season. Then there was a coaching change at Loyola before the 2012-13 season, as former Bluejay Porter Moser took over the program. Not prepared to face his alma-mater after just taking over the program, the game was again pushed back. At last report, this game was not going to be played this upcoming season due to the number of road games already on the schedule and was tentatively on the 2015-16 schedule."

In fact, both the arrival of Porter Moser and the rebuilding of Gentile occurred in 2011. So it looks like the excuse as stated for not playing in 2012-13 is not correct. I think Porter thought he had a pretty good team that year - and it wasn't bad in December. I can't see why he'd back out. For 2014-15, Creighton having too many road games doesn't seem sufficient to break a contract in force since 2010. At this point, what could possibly be tentative about the commitment to come in 2015-16?

Not helping the fact is that they are starting a series next year at North Texas. I think they're just looking for excuses not to come to us.

Look at the bright side. The longer this is pushed back the more winnable it becomes.

Just guessing here, but it's tentative until they schedule too many other road games and have to bump us?
