OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Creighton starting guard Pop Isaacs is being held out of the 15th-ranked Bluejays’ opener against UT-Rio Grande Valley with an undisclosed injury. The transfer from Texas Tech was on the court in street clothes during pregame warmups. Isaacs had surgery last spring to repair a hip injury. Mason Miller took Isaacs’ spot in the lineup. Isaacs scored a team-high 24 points on 10-of-14 shooting and had six assists in Creighton’s 93-87 win over No. 14 Purdue in a charity exhibition in Omaha on Oct. 26.
