In this Oct. 16, 2019, photo, Mitch Ballock smiles during Creighton's NCAA college basketball media day in Omaha, Neb. A strong finish to last year's regular season could not push Creighton into the NCAA Tournament. The Bluejays are using the disappointment for motivation. Ballock is among four returning starters from the team that finished 20-15 overall, tied for third in the Big East and reached the NIT quarterfinals. Marcus Zegarowski, Davion Mintz and Ty-Shon Alexander also are back. The Bluejays open Nov. 5 at home against Kennesaw State. (AP Photo/Nati Harnik)
