Big East basketball. Still the center of the basketball world.
And the hometown hero is back. Jasen Green, Creighton’s most indispensable player this past season, will finish his career where he started it.
A few more returns should be on the way.
NEWS: Providence transfer big man Oswin Erhunmwunse has committed to Creighton, his agency @RocNationSports told @On3. The 6-10 sophomore averaged 6.9 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks per game this season. Was one of the top bigs in the portal.

There’s a reason why UConn plays better outside of the big east than in conference. Don’t let ESPN tell you that the big east is not a power conference.
Through everything that Greg said or did in time at Creighton, it was always so evident how much he cared for his players.
The SDSU locker room moment is a great example. Another came after Creighton got beat by Baylor in the NCAAT in 2014:

On a personal level:
Coach Mac is the only Head Coach to make time to join us on the Big East Barroom podcast
When we travelled out to Omaha he found us, stopped to talk and gave us a big hug
A great man who happens to be an X's and O's savant. College basketball will miss him
It’s really hard to extrapolate in words what Coach Mac has meant for Creighton University and Omaha as a whole. An incredible basketball coach, but an even better human being.
Thanks for all of the memories, @cucoachmac !
Greg McDermott is retiring after this season, with coach-in-waiting Alan Huss set to take over. Huss left High Point last spring after winning 56 games in 2 seasons.
McDermott made 10 NCAA tournament appearances with Creighton, winning at least one game in each of the last five.
Broke down every single game of the NCAA Tournament here, on the newest episode of the Michael DeRosa Show™️. Give it a listen if you can!
