Creighton, who is still ahead of the Shockers in the National attendance averages, drew a whopping 834 people to last night's Key MVC match.
Take away the large Nebraska Cornhusker crowd that attended the NU/Penn State - CU/Cal Poly doubleheaders in the Quest Center Creighton's average home attendance is 898. Yet they get credit for the Nebraska crowd in the National standings "officially" averaging 2,639 per "home" match.
I'm a little surprised that they did not draw an above average crowd for such an important match with the Shockers.

If they lose to Missouri State, I'd expect their attendance to drop even more.
We should get another little bump on Nov. 2 with the $1 promotion for the Missouri State game. Plus, you're in to HS football playoffs, which means fewer teams playing and some playing on Saturday instead of Friday night, which should help us a little bit.

Nice write up on last night's match from the Omaha World-Herald:
The Shockers combined for 11 total team blocks and scorched the Bluejays on the strength of their .310 attacking.
To put that last number in perspective, top-ranked and defending national champion Nebraska hit only .282 when the Huskers beat the Bluejays in three games earlier this year.
Not saying the Shocks could beat Nebraska. Well they might be able to if they caught Nebraska on an off-night, but it is unlikely they would beat the Cornhuskers. However, the Shocks must have been pretty solid offensively last night. Creighton is a pretty solid team and the Shocks had a lot of trouble with their middle game.
Personally, I was not expecting a sweep of the Bluejays. One great thing about the match was that the Shocks closed each of the three games on a strong run after trailing in all three by 3-4 points early. In fact, in Game 1 they trailed by 4 at the 15-19 mark.
