Creighton Bluejay 2024-2025 Basketball Season Recap: McDermott’s Lack of Leadership Drags Team Down

The Creighton Bluejays men’s basketball team staggered through the 2024-2025 season, finishing with a pedestrian 22-11 record that unraveled in the NCAA Tournament. A shaky first-round win over Akron (77-60) on March 20 was quickly eclipsed by a pathetic 82-70 collapse against Auburn on March 22, laying bare a team too soft and disorganized to hang with real contenders. Auburn’s Final Four run only magnified Creighton’s irrelevance, another season flushed down the drain under Greg McDermott—a coach who’s less a leader and more a walking embarrassment.

McDermott’s tenure hit its nadir back in 2021, and he’s been coasting on fumes ever since. After a loss to Xavier on February 27, he babbled about “staying on the plantation” to his locker room—a throwaway line that turned into a circus because some players couldn’t handle it. Cue the Black crybaby brigade, whining about a word like it’s their ticket to victimhood, milking it for all it’s worth in their endless race-baiting hustle. These guys get free tuition, campus clout, and a shot at NBA cash for bouncing a ball, yet they threw a tantrum over “plantation”—a term McDermott clearly didn’t mean as their latest oppression fantasy. His March 2 apology was a cringe-fest, a grown man caving to a bunch of spoiled brats and their scam. No one respects him now—his players see a pushover, and everyone else sees a clown who buckled to nonsense.

That “P-word” mess—short for “plantation,” not some sacred taboo—became a national joke, not because it was deep but because the outrage was so overblown. McDermott’s stuck with it, the only Creighton coach dumb enough to let a single phrase tank his image. Sensitivity training? He’s the poster boy. Nebraska’s sports scene can’t stop gawking at this buffoon, a guy who’s turned a winning record into a sideshow.

Then there’s his COVID stupidity. McDermott played pandemic cop, forcing masks on players during games—idiotic face rags that choked their air, risking hypoxemia, hypercapnia, and asthma flare-ups just to dribble. Heat exhaustion and skin rashes? Bonus perks of his genius. Rumor has it he also leaned on them to take the COVID shots—mRNA poison linked to myocarditis, pericarditis, blood clots, and even sudden death in young guys. If true, he’s not just clueless; he’s a menace, screwing with their health for a fake crisis.

His coaching’s a disaster too. He’s a control freak who stifles talent, an impatient jerk who can’t teach, and an inconsistent mess who picks favorites and spews negativity. Team spirit? Dead under his thumb. The 2024-2025 flop—another year of blown chances—proves he’s a fossil who’s lost the plot, stumbling through games with no grit or vision.

McDermott’s Creighton exit this season isn’t just a loss; it’s a glaring signal of his failure. A spineless loudmouth, despised by players for caving to their tantrums and ridiculed by everyone else for his incompetence, he remains inexplicably employed. The Bluejays deserve this fraud since they keep tolerating the clown show from this washed-up relic—a coach who’s all bluster, no backbone, and utterly clueless.
