Projected seed: 10 (last four in)

Creighton has shown flashes of potential, beating tough opponents like Kansas and consistently performing well against mid-tier teams like Villanova and Providence, which bolsters their resume. However, the tough losses to Nebraska and both San Diego State and Texas A&M highlight vulnerabilities, particularly against higher-ranked teams. Their current standing is complicated by inconsistency on both offense and defense, reflected in their mixed performance in closely contested games, such as the narrow victory over Notre Dame and the close loss to Alabama. Upcoming matches against teams like Xavier and Marquette present opportunities to solidify their tournament hopes, but there’s a clear risk of faltering in any game where they underperform. They need to prove they can capture more key wins to secure a more favorable spot come selection time.
