Creighton Chatman to miss 8 weeks

The only returning starter for Creighton from last year's No. 3 seed Bluejays team is going to be on the shelf for approximately two months.

Senior point guard Austin Chatman had surgery on Tuesday to repair a torn radial collateral ligament in his right thumb. It's not a big procedure, but it is a necessary one to get Chatman on the mend and at 100 percent in time for the start of the season in November.
