The Bluejays basketball team is the most successful athletic program at Creighton; the team is one of the few teams to have 20 or more wins in each of the last ten seasons.

From the last eight years the team has participated in six of the NCAA basketball tournaments as well as in the 2004 and 2006 National Invitation Tournament.

With the MVC the Bluejays have won 13 regular season championships and 10 post-season tournament titles.

The team was not very consistent last 2007-08 season finishing 4th with a 22-11 on the board.

Coach Dana Altman wants to finish the 2008-09 campaign on the top three and get the Bluejays back in the NCAA Tournament.
