      <title>What Really Happens Behind the Scenes of Creighton Basketball? Sit Down with Rob Anderson!</title>
      <description>What is it really like inside the Creighton Basketball program? In this episode of the Roll Jays Podcast, we sit down with the ultimate Creighton historian and Sports Information Director, Rob Anderson. From the transition to the Big East Conference to the rise of the Greg McDermott era, Rob has had a front-row seat to every buzzer-beater and March Madness run in modern Bluejay history. Rob Anderson reveals the strategic 'assist' he provided during Doug McDermott’s historic 2014 National Player of the Year campaign—from coordinating the viral Sports Illustrated cover to navigating the media frenzy that helped Doug sweep all 14 major awards.

But the history doesn't stop there. As the ultimate keeper of the stats, Rob settles the scoreboard on the Bluejays’ biggest rivalries, including the surprising reveal of which coach holds the most career wins against Dan Hurley—an 'Easter egg' for Big East junkies that only a true SID would know. Whether you’re a fan of the Missouri Valley days or the modern Big East era, this is a masterclass in Bluejay heritage.

      <title>Analysis - Where Does Creighton Go From Here?</title>
      <description>Coming off the heels of a blowout loss to St. John’s at the CHI Health Center, it’s time for a hard reset on expectations for the Creighton Bluejays. In this episode of the Roll Jays podcast, Jimmie Allen and Casey Matthews break down why the preseason hype has met a harsh reality and what Coach Greg McDermott’s staff must do to salvage the season.

We dive deep into the following:
The Lineup Shakeup:Why Ty Davis was thrust into the starting lineup and the ongoing debate between his energy and effort versus Nik Graves superior statistical output.
A head-to-head "per-40" stat comparison between Ty Davis and Nick Graves. Is it time to return Graves to the starting five? 

The 5 Spot Struggle: Evaluating the rotation of Jasen Green and Owen Freeman.

Freshman Impact: Hudson Greer's impact. Should he be playing more?

Must-Win Territory: Why every game from here on out—starting with Georgetown on Tuesday—is a can't lose scenario for Creighton’s postseason hopes.

      <title>Live Reaction: Creighton Bluejays v St. John's Red Storm</title>
      <description>Greg McDermott's Creighton Bluejays welcome Rick Pitino and the Red Storm to Omaha for a HUGE Big East matchup! Join Jimmie and Casey to break down an extremely important game for both teams. Coach Jeff Vanderloo will stop by and give us his thoughts as well!

With a win today, St Johns would look poised to be the team many thought they could be, but a loss would seed more doubt into their standing in the Big East. 

For Creighton, a win today solidifies their place in race for 2nd place in the league and takes a lot of pressure off them to beat UConn at least once this season. A loss, well that essentially means they would have to sweep Nova and Seton Hall at home and win at least one of the three opportunities left against St Johns and Uconn. 

It's going to be a great one in Omaha and we'll be here to break it all down for you after the game!

But with a full deck of cards, the decisions for the coaching staff get tougher. We dive deep into the crucial rotation decisions Coach McDermott faces now—especially the key battle at the Point Guard spot. Who will ultimately lead the offense? We analyze the pros and cons of each candidate and project the final, powerful rotation that will define Creighton's season.

      <title>Breaking: Jays Land Kerem Konan</title>
      <description>On this episode of the Roll Jays Podcast, we dive into the newest addition to Creighton’s frontcourt — Kerem Konan, the 6’10” big man from Turkey who brings size, skill, and international experience to the Bluejays. We break down what Konan’s game can add to Greg McDermott’s rotation and how his presence changes the look of Creighton’s lineup heading into the 2025 season.

We also take a closer look at the non-conference schedule, highlighting key matchups and the benchmarks the Jays need to hit before Big East play tips off. From early tune-ups to statement opportunities, we lay out what Creighton fans should watch for to feel confident about a deep run in conference play — and beyond.

Tune in for insights, analysis, and plenty of Bluejay hoops talk as we gear up for another exciting season in Omaha.

      <link>https://roll-jays.simplecast.com/episodes/is-nik-graves-creightons-next-great-pg-eDojVsM4</link>
      <description>The next great Creighton point guard might be getting to campus soon—and his name is Nik Graves. In this episode of Roll Jays, we sit down with the transfer phenom to talk about his journey from Charlotte to Omaha, what it means to join a legacy of elite Bluejay point guards, and why Coach McDermott’s system was the perfect fit for his game.

Nik opens up about his development, the grind it took to get here, and the fact that his mom could beat him one-on-one until very recently (and depending who you ask, maybe she still can). We get into his confidence, his willingness to embrace competing for the starting role, and why he’s ready to make an immediate impact in the Big East.

      <description>“Nobody got time for a chubby point guard.”

In this episode of the Roll Jays Podcast, we sit down with Blake Harper—the Howard transfer and newest addition to the Bluejays. Blake talks about his decision to choose Creighton, how he’s preparing to make the jump to the Big East, and what fans can expect from his game and personality.

We cover his rise to MEAC Player of the Year, his mindset heading into this next chapter, and the work it took to get here—including the two months at Howard where he couldn’t even practice because he was out of shape.
