Projection: likely out
Creighton's résumé combines clear highs and damaging lows that explain its current placement. The team has shown it can win on neutral floors with a victory over Oregon, it can dominate away from home with the statement trip to Xavier, and it has produced comfortable home wins such as Marquette that highlight its two‑way ceiling. Those signature moments are offset by ugly setbacks, most notably a lopsided loss at Gonzaga and a poor road showing at Nebraska plus tough neutral defeats to Baylor and Iowa State, results that sap the strength of the nonconference body of work. The remainder of the Big East slate offers obvious ways to change the narrative with marquee road tests at Villanova and Connecticut and a home date with Connecticut while games at places like DePaul and matchups with Georgetown present opportunities to shore up the ledger. Winning on the road or in neutral settings in those remaining opportunities matters most because road and neutral success carries extra weight, whereas another bad away result would leave little margin for error.
