The Creighton men’s basketball team learned today it will open its season November 25th against South Dakota State. 

The Jackrabbits have replaced Utah, CU’s original opening foe in the Crossover Classic .  Tickets for the three-day event at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, South Dakota went on sale today at ticketmaster.com. 

Meantime, the Bluejays’ Marcus Zegarowski was announced today as one of 20 players nationally on the watch list for the Bob Cousy Point Guard of the Year Award. 

The Creighton junior was named last week as the preseason Big East Player of the Year. 

He’s the first Jays player to make the Cousy Award watch list since Maurice Watson Jr. four years ago.
