Ryan Nembhard, Creighton clash with SIU-Edwardsville

After rallying late to beat Southern Illinois at Carbondale for third place Monday in the Paradise Jam in the Virgin Islands, Creighton now trains its sights on Southern Illinois at Edwardsville.

The Bluejays (5-1) host the Cougars (2-4) on Saturday in Omaha, Neb. Creighton will try to keep the momentum going from a fast finish Monday, when it trailed by eight at the last TV timeout before ending the game with a 12-2 run
