\nIn the midst of a six-game home stretch, the longest homestand of the season, Creighton has certainly logged a heavy travel schedule in the early portion of the season.\u00a0 Creighton began the 2026 campaign with consecutive trips to California. The third weekend sent the Bluejays to Texas. Throw in a trip to Baton Rouge and New Orleans that necessitated Creighton taking a 16-hour\u00a0 bus trip home as well as a road series at Miami.<\/p>\n
\nWith victories over Omaha and South Dakota State, Creighton is 4-1 in home contests this season.<\/p>\n
\nCreighton and Sacramento State both made trips to Baton Rouge this season as the Hornets took two of three meetings from LSU. Creighton, meanwhile, dropped a midweek battle with the Tigers.
\n\u00a0
\nThe two squads also share Kansas and Tarleton State. Creighton went 1-1 in two games with Tarleton State, while Sac State went 1-1 against Kansas. The Bluejays face Kansas later this season, while Sacramento State closes the reqular season against Tarleton State.
