    Where have the Bluejays gone?
    Premium ContentPremium ContentClick on Premium Content on the Featured navigation bar for information.Creighton wraps up an eight-day stretch Saturday that could define — or at least refine — how the Bluejays' 2011-12 season is ultimately remembered. A week ago, Creighton was soaring. The Bluejays had won 11 straight games, including a 102-74 pasting of Illinois State on Feb. 1. They were inching toward a top-10 ranking, both in the polls and the RPI. The guys who forecast March Madness had Creighton a No. 3 seed in the NCAA tournament. »

The Bluejays plan to use the rare four-game softball series, with doubleheaders Saturday at noon and Sunday at 11 a.m., to parcel out playing time to as many Bluejays as possible. "That's one of the goals this weekend," Creighton coach Brent Vigness said. "We may start four to five different people the second game."

    Nelson’s career-best not enough for Jays

    A late run by Evansville and cold shooting by the Creighton women sunk the Bluejays 48-45 on Thursday. Creighton didn't make a field goal in the final 3:40 as the Purple Aces finished on a 9-2 run to win the contest, which started at 11 a.m. and drew nearly 3,000 as part of a promotion for local schoolchildren.
