🌍
Locations of Creighton and Nebraska

Nebraska is a member of the Big Ten Conference and Creighton is a member of the Big East Conference. The teams have met annually since 1977, usually in the early part of December.

Series history

The series began on March 3, 1923, a 46–23 Creighton victory. The first seven games of the series took place sporadically across the 1920s and 1930s, and was then put on hold until the late 1970s. Since 1977, Nebraska and Creighton have met at least once annually, a stretch of 43 consecutive seasons. The schools have met twice in postseason tournaments, both Nebraska wins in the opening round of the 1984 and 2004 NIT.

Since Creighton has not had a football program since 1942, there are a significant number of Creighton basketball fans who also support Nebraska's football program. These fans are often derisively referred to by Nebraska fans as "Jayskers," a portmanteau of "Bluejays" and "Cornhuskers."[4]
