Kyle Hess is a great story, by the way. He really came on strong as a sophomore and the coaching staff raved about his work ethic and intensity in practice. But injuries and setbacks derailed his path to a breakout season last spring. He earned the clutch moments he had tonight.

The Jays have added their first portal transfer of the offseason. Neal is a 6'6' guard who averaged 11 points and 5.4 boards a year ago for Arizona State.

Saint Mary’s transfer Aidan Mahaney visited Creighton and is scheduled to visit both Kentucky and UConn this weekend, source told The Field of 68.

Those are a trio of high-level offensive coaches.

Mahaney is also currently at Virginia.

The matchup CU fans have waited forever for is here: Bill Self and the Jayhawks will play the Jays in Omaha this winter, per this report. Wow!

Creighton makes it official: Trey Ziegler is back at CU as an assistant coach.

Great news!

We caught up with future Creighton Men’s Basketball guard Larry Johnson III after the Nike Hoop Summit scrimmages and talked about his experience playing with the Portland Generals, his Southern California Academy teammates, growing as a leader, what to expect from him next year in Omaha, and more (sound 🔊 on).

Nobody:

Absolutely nobody at all:

Emma Ronsiek hitting the portal with her bonus year of eligibility.

Her decision was always an intriguing one given how close she is with her sister. A “Ronsiek Reunion” somewhere wouldn’t shock me. And it would also be a really cool way to go out.

BREAKING: Creighton’s Emma Ronsiek has entered the transfer portal, a source tells The Next: A women's basketball newsroom at The IX.

Averaged 16.8 ppg, 5.3 rpg and 2.7 apg.

The time difference is making quite a few hurdles for Jacob and I. Instead of an abbreviated pod, we’ll get a proper one in to give this group their flowers in a day or two.

Apologies in advance. We appreciate you all for following along. Plenty of post-tourney coverage coming.

Final in Detroit:

No. 2 Tennessee 82, No. 3 Creighton 75.

Baylor Scheierman, Ryan Kalkbrenner, and Trey Alexander won 49 games in two seasons together. An Elite 8 in ‘23, a Sweet 16 in ‘24. Raised the bar and the standard in Omaha.

#Jays legends.

Creighton is going to come up short of returning to the Elite 8. They fought all the way to the end. Hell of a season and run with this group of vets.

There is a saying about leaving a place better than you found it. Ryan Kalkbrenner, Trey Alexander, Baylor Scheierman did that.

7:54 2H | Tennessee 62, Creighton 55.

The #Jays have scored on 6 straight trips to get this thing under 10 at the 8-minute media timeout. Baylor Scheierman has a game-high 25 points -- 8 of them have come over the last 5 minutes.
