What is it really like inside the Creighton Basketball program? In this episode of the Roll Jays Podcast, we sit down with the ultimate Creighton historian and Sports Information Director, Rob Anderson. From the transition to the Big East Conference to the rise of the Greg McDermott era, Rob has had a front-row seat to every buzzer-beater and March Madness run in modern Bluejay history. Rob Anderson reveals the strategic 'assist' he provided during Doug McDermott’s historic 2014 National Player of the Year campaign—from coordinating the viral Sports Illustrated cover to navigating the media frenzy that helped Doug sweep all 14 major awards. But the history doesn't stop there. As the ultimate keeper of the stats, Rob settles the scoreboard on the Bluejays’ biggest rivalries, including the surprising reveal of which coach holds the most career wins against Dan Hurley—an 'Easter egg' for Big East junkies that only a true SID would know. Whether you’re a fan of the Missouri Valley days or the modern Big East era, this is a masterclass in Bluejay heritage. 🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and drop a comment with your favorite moment from the interview!

Greg McDermott's Creighton Bluejays welcome Rick Pitino and the Red Storm to Omaha for a HUGE Big East matchup! Join Jimmie and Casey to break down an extremely important game for both teams. Coach Jeff Vanderloo will stop by and give us his thoughts as well! With a win today, St Johns would look poised to be the team many thought they could be, but a loss would seed more doubt into their standing in the Big East. For Creighton, a win today solidifies their place in race for 2nd place in the league and takes a lot of pressure off them to beat UConn at least once this season. A loss, well that essentially means they would have to sweep Nova and Seton Hall at home and win at least one of the three opportunities left against St Johns and Uconn. It's going to be a great one in Omaha and we'll be here to break it all down for you after the game! 🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and drop a comment with your favorite moment from the interview!
