CREIGHTON BLUEJAYS WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Creighton's women's basketball program operates from Omaha within an enrollment of 8,838 students and competes in the Big East Conference's demanding landscape. Led by coach Jim Flanery, the Bluejays brought a 12-14 record into their conference slate, where a 6-7 league mark reflects competitive struggles balanced against signs of progress. Playing at D.J. Sokol Arena, the team has managed a pronounced disparity between home (7-6) and road (5-8) performance, a gap that suggests venue comfort influences outcomes measurably.
Offensively, Creighton averages 68.3 points per game while allowing 69.6, indicating a defensive unit holding opponents to nearly identical production levels—a rare equilibrium suggesting tactical discipline despite the losing record. The roster of 11 players carries responsibility for navigating one of college basketball's strongest conferences, where depth limitations become particularly consequential across the season's final stretch. As Creighton works toward postseason viability, road performance remains the critical variable; improving that 5-8 away record would materially affect tournament positioning in the Big East's competitive hierarchy.
