Creighton Men’s Basketball Adopts More Competitive Mindset Under Alan Huss

Omaha, NE, October 15, 2026 —

Creighton’s men’s basketball team is preparing for the upcoming season with a more intense and competitive mentality under new coach Alan Huss. Transfer Wes Enis is described as a major influence on that approach, while low preseason expectations have added to the team’s sense that it has something to prove.

The team’s outlook has been characterized as a “chip on their shoulder” attitude, reflecting its perception that it has been underestimated. The available information does not identify who set the preseason expectations, specify where those expectations placed Creighton, or explain how the team is translating its response into changes on the court.

Enis’s role is highlighted as a driving force behind the shift, but no further details are provided about his comments, his playing history, or the specific ways he has influenced the team. The information also does not include statements from Huss or other players, or describe how the new coach’s approach differs from the team’s previous mentality.

The shift in tone is one of the few details available about Creighton’s preparation. No season record, schedule, roster information beyond Enis’s transfer status, or specific goals are provided. The summary also does not give a date for the upcoming season or identify the source of the low preseason expectations.

For now, the reported focus is on a more competitive mindset and the motivation the team draws from feeling overlooked. Further details about how that attitude develops over the season are not available.
