Oh, did we mention that Matt DeMarinis is back, and bring to the show a 38-minute interview with Creighton baseball skipper Ed Servais?
Bryant Ott and Matt DeMarinis talk Creighton baseball, as the Bluejays continue their winning ways during a 10-game unbeaten streak.
Aside from the diamond, Bryant and Matt also talk a bit of Creighton men's hoops, including the hiring by Coach Mac of former Creighton player Al Huss to an assistant coach position.
It's been a few weeks since Creighton men's basketball's season came to an end, and Bryant and Matt are finally recovering from the Bluejays' first-round NCAA Tournament loss to Rhode Island.
A lot's happened since the Jays finished their 2016-17 campaign with a 25-10 record. Chief among the developments? Justin Patton's outta here, taking his talents to the 2017 NBA Draft.
To talk about Patton's decision process, and to recap a few major storylines from last season and the future of his team, Greg McDermott stops by for a 25-minute exclusive interview with Matt DeMarinis.
It's our first of two basketball season finale shows. In this episode, we're putting a bow on the Creighton women's basketball team's season. e
To do so, Matt DeMarinis spent nearly an hour with head coach Jim Flanery.
But before that exclusive interview, we spend a few minutes taking questions from Twitter.
It's March Madness on the Bluejays Bytes podcast! Matt DeMarinis and Bryant Ott catch up after a captivating weekend by the Creighton men's basketball team in New York City.
Sure, the Jays fell short of a Big East title, but two wins in the conference tournament plus a solid regular season display garnered Greg McDermott's team a 6-seed and a game against 11-seed Rhode Island.
We talk about that matchup with current CU assistant coach Preston Murphy, who was a star on the last Rhode Island team to make the NCAA Tournament (back in 1998).
We also talk women's hoops, with Jim Flanery's Bluejays securing a 7-seed and headed to Oregon State to face 10-seed Toledo before a potential game against the Beavers.
Flan spends 20 minutes with DeMarinis talking about his program's big opportunity in their first trip to the Big Dance in a few years.
Matt and Bryant are live from the Big East Tournament in NYC. Joining them is Omaha World-Herald beat writer Jon Nyatawa. Enjoy!
Bryant Ott checks in with Matt DeMarinis, who calls from Milwaukee after watching Greg McDermott's team lose its regular season finale to Marquette and Jim Flanery's squad drop its Big East Tournament semifinal game to the host Golden Eagles.
The two discuss: ~ Those three games in Milwaukee ~ Khyri Thomas' snub for All-Big East honors ~ What awaits the men's team at Madison Square Garden this weekend ~ What awaits Flan's team on NCAA Tournament Selection Monday ~ What the %$*% is going on with Ed Servais' baseball squad
It's the first of many podcasts we'll bring you during men's and women's postseason basketball. So tune in ... you might just find something you agree with!
First, the good news: Creighton's women's basketball program notched its first Big East regular season championship. Jim Flanery's Bluejays shared the title with DePaul; we speak with Flan about the championship, the upcoming Big East Tournament in Milwaukee, and an inevitable NCAA Tournament berth.
But first, we dive a bit into the serious allegations and charges facing former Creighton point guard Maurice Watson, Jr. Sure, Greg McDermott's Bluejays had a tough week on the court (losses to Providence and at Villanova), but the situation off the floor is far, far worse. Matt DeMarinis and Bryant Ott talk about what it means for the current roster, including the guys who will be celebrated on Senior Night against St. John's.
We also feature a 15+ minute interview with best buds and CU standouts Khyri Thomas and Justin Patton.
Bryant Ott and Matt DeMarinis are back talking all things Creighton Bluejays.
First up, a segment on your NATIONALLY RANKED Creighton women's basketball team, featuring an interview with head coach Jim Flanery.
Then, we take a look back at the Bluejays men's basketball team's week against Seton Hall (L) and Georgetown (W). We also preview Greg McDermott's team's upcoming home game against Providence, the second-to-last home tilt of the year.
And speaking of men's hoops, Matt has a great interview with current redshirt transfer Kaleb Joseph, the heir apparent to major minutes at the point guard position in 2017-18 for the Bluejays.
Matt DeMarinis and Bryant Ott catch up on a few weeks of Creighton Bluejays men's basketball. They cover hot topics like the Evolution of Khyri Thomas, the NBA Draft Prospects of Justin Patton, and what the last three-plus weeks of the Big East regular season hold for a team clinging to the No. 2 spot in the conference standings.
Matt and Bryant spend 30 minutes (at the 59:00 mark) on Creighton baseball, thanks to a fruitful interview Matt conducted with head coach Ed Servais earlier in the day.
And the WBR guys also jump to some women's basketball notes, including how Jim Flanery's team is a near lock for the NCAA Tournament and how the last time the public can catch his squad in Omaha is this weekend.
Enjoy, and #GOJAYS!
Bryant Ott and Matt DeMarinis lament Creighton's 71-51 loss at Georgetown immediately following the game. The timing leads to some conjecture about how -- or, rather, if -- Greg McDermott and his staff will adjust strategy after amid a two-game losing streak.
On a brighter note, we set the stage for what Jim Flanery says is the most important home weekend of CU women's basketball since he's been head coach. Nationally ranked (and Big East co-leader) DePaul comes to town, as does Marquette. Flan's Bluejays enter the weekend tied atop the conference standings with DePaul, with the Golden Eagles one game behind in third place.
We spend the last 25 minutes of the episode interviewing CU women's basketball assistant coach Linda Sayavongchanh.
Bryant Ott and Matt DeMarinis go 60 minutes on Maurice Watson Jr.'s injury, the win against Xavier it happened during, and what's next for Greg McDermott's Bluejays.
You'll laugh (maybe). You'll cry (Bryant kinda does). You'll hurl.
Bryant Ott and Matt DeMarinis ring in the new year by breaking down Creighton basketball's 1-1 start to Big East play. In particular, they talk about what could have been for the Bluejays in a home loss on New Year's Eve against Villanova, and how Khyri Thomas is the X-factor for this year's squad.
The podcast takes a turn toward the men's hoops recruiting world, before getting back on course with a quick "Tuesdays with Tyler" interview with CU guard Tyler Clement.
The episode rounds out with some much deserved love for Jim Flanery's women's basketball team, which is 3-0 to start Big East play despite a myriad health problems facing the roster.
Sure, the Creighton men's basketball team is 11-0 and N0. 9 in the AP Poll, tied for its best ranking in program history.
But BLUEJAYS VOLLEYBALL, GUYS.
Matt has a 20-minute exclusive interview with coach Kirsten Bernthal Booth. Plus, we spend the first portion of the show with Matt breaking down his trips to Lawrence and Austin, during which the Jays won three 5-set matches before losing to eventual national runner-up Texas.
Oh, yeah, about Greg McDermott's Bluejays...
Plenty to talk about, including another win against Nebraska, an unexpected nail-biter against Oral Roberts, and beatdowns against Buffalo, Akron, and Longwood.
Plus, Matt spends some time catching up with CU point guard Tyler Clement. And we touch on the Creighton women's basketball team's in-state rivalry game victory against Nebraska.
A lot has happened since Bryant Ott and Matt DeMarinis last podcasted. In Episode 11, Bryant and Matt cover:
~Creighton men's basketball blistering start to the 2016-17 season
~Creighton volleyball's perfect Big East regular season, their three-peat in the Big East tournament, and another NCAA Tournament appearance for Kirsten Bernthal Booth's program
~ Creighton men's soccer's revenge tour that took the Jays to the Big East title game and through two rounds of the NCAA Tournament, before ending in the Sweet Sixteen
Bryant Ott and Matt DeMarinis are back after a month-long sabbatical so Bryant could follow his beloved Chicago Cubs on their successful quest to win a World Series championship.
So, we unpack nearly a month's worth of Creighton Bluejays coverage, including: ~ What Elmar Bolowich's men's soccer team has to do to earn home games in the NCAA Tournament ~ Why Kirsten Bernthal Booth's volleyball program is a pure juggernaut in the Big East ~ How Greg McDermott's men's basketball team looked in their lone preseason game, against Wayne State ~ Where Matt is headed instead of sticking around for McDermott's Bluejays' season-opener against Missouri-Kansas City ~ Who Ross Paule's women's soccer program is going to miss dearly next season (HINT: it's the three seniors Matt interviews for the last 30 minutes of the show)
GO JAYS

Matt DeMarinis catches up with Korver, and the two talk about a number of topics ahead of the celebration of Kyle and Doug on October 20. We also added our recent interview with McDermott to the end of this episode, too.
