Don't forget that KMTV broadcast the Creighton/Nebraska game on Dec. 12th, 2001. Creighton won 76-70

Thanks for the reminder. I'll also pass it along to the folks at Creighton's sports information department, which supplied me with the statistics.

I received this reply from Rob Anderson, SID at Creighton:

We actually had 15 games on TV in 2001-02, going 11-4, including a 3-1 mark on KMTV.

Travis? Ugh. This might be one of those deals where you turn down the TV volume and turn on the radio for your play-by-play to go along with it instead.
