Creighton gave their first look to the fans on Friday night in a public exhibition against preseason ranked Iowa State. Without two starters, the Bluejays played an amazing first half only turning the ball over once and going into halftime doubling up the Cyclones 46-23. Creighton turned the ball over a little more in the second half and went cold from the three point line allowing Iowa St. to mount a comeback. But the Bluejays made the plays down the stretch and walked away with the win. While the exhibition doesn't mean a whole lot, at least they got to play against some different competition and the fans got to see the new Jays up and close with their potential for this season.

WBR's Matt DeMarinis and Hurrdat Sports Jacob Padilla are back for another season of breaking things down from the games and giving their insight to the Bluejays. They got together after the the game on Friday night to share their insight.
