What Really Happens Behind the Scenes of Creighton Basketball? Sit Down with Rob Anderson!

What is it really like inside the Creighton Basketball program? In this episode of the Roll Jays Podcast, we sit down with the ultimate Creighton historian and Sports Information Director, Rob Anderson. From the transition to the Big East Conference to the rise of the Greg McDermott era, Rob has had a front-row seat to every buzzer-beater and March Madness run in modern Bluejay history. Rob Anderson reveals the strategic 'assist' he provided during Doug McDermott’s historic 2014 National Player of the Year campaign—from coordinating the viral Sports Illustrated cover to navigating the media frenzy that helped Doug sweep all 14 major awards. But the history doesn't stop there. As the ultimate keeper of the stats, Rob settles the scoreboard on the Bluejays’ biggest rivalries, including the surprising reveal of which coach holds the most career wins against Dan Hurley—an 'Easter egg' for Big East junkies that only a true SID would know. Whether you’re a fan of the Missouri Valley days or the modern Big East era, this is a masterclass in Bluejay heritage. 🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and drop a comment with your favorite moment from the interview!
