This game will be the Lancers first trip to Omaha and will take place in mid-November as part of the 2012 Las Vegas Invitational. The Blue Jays are lead by forward All-American Doug McDermott, who averaged nearly 23 points per game last year, which was good enough for third in the country. Creighton is expected to be ranked in the top fifteen of most polls to begin the season.
The Lancers are also rumored to be heading to Fayetteville to be taking on the Arkansas Razorbacks as part of the invitational. They will then head to Las Vegas to compete in a four team bracket including Cornell, Florida A&M, and Big South rival Presbyterian.
