    McDermott leads Jays in front of colorful crowd
    Creighton got some solid performances from its supporting cast Saturday night to keep its pink-clad fans from heading home feeling blue.

    DaNae Moore shot a hole in Northern Iowa's scouting reports Friday night in helping the Creighton women's basketball team cruise to a 65-50 win.
