Creighton Has 10x the Program of NU in BB Historically
Today, Travis and I talked about Nebraska basketball. Both Trav and my Husker Fan producer had a problem with the statement that "Historically, Creighton has had 10x the program that Nebraska basketball has had". So you can make up your own mind - here are the stats and this will be brought up tomorrow:
First Trip to the NCAA's:
CU - 1941
NU - 1986
Tournament Games All Time:
CU - 31
NU - 6
All Time Tournament Record:
CU - 12-19
NU - 0-6
Record in the Tourney since the field went to 64:
CU - 3-9
NU - 0-6
Total NCAA Apperances:
CU - 16
NU - 6
League Titles:
CU - 13 MVC Regular Season Titles (last 2002), 10 MVC Tournament Titles (last 2007)
NU - 1 Big 8 Tournament Title (94) Last Regular Season title - 1950! Big 7 title shared with 2 others (Nebraska was in MVC previously)
- Last outright regular season title - 1916 in the MVC!!!!!!!
Attendance:
CU - No. 13 Nationally last year
NU - Luckly to get 8,000/gm
NU - 110 years of basketball - ZERO tournament wins!!
CU - 1/3 the student body and no Football revenue and they dwarf the team in Lincoln in nearly every category except empty seats for home games.
I hope they now see my point. Jays historically are MUCH better than NU. Look at it this way - The Jays have won 13 regular season conference titles since NU won their last. So, maybe I should say they are 13 times better of a program
