Projection: likely out

Creighton’s NCAA tournament hopes are hanging by a thread, primarily due to a mixed bag of results and a shaky strength of schedule. They’ve notched key wins against Kansas and Notre Dame, showcasing their potential, but losses to higher-ranked opponents like Texas A&M and San Diego State raise concerns. Their defensive performance lacks consistency, as indicated by the struggles against teams with solid offenses. Future matchups against ranked opponents, notably Marquette and Connecticut, offer a chance to bolster their resume, but they need to extract wins from these challenging contests to stand a chance at earning an invitation. The upcoming games against teams like Butler and Seton Hall will be crucial; they can't afford to drop these opportunities if they hope to sneak into the tournament.
