Projection: likely out

Creighton's résumé is anchored by a neutral-site win over Oregon and a willingness to schedule top opposition with a trip at Gonzaga and neutral tests against Baylor and Iowa State, but that ambitious slate has produced damaging results as the heavy loss at Gonzaga and the road defeat at Nebraska expose inconsistency away from home. Comfortable wins against lesser opponents do little to erase those lopsided setbacks, so road struggles loom large in how a committee will view the profile. The rest of the Big East run presents clear opportunities to change the narrative with home dates against Kansas State and Connecticut while a difficult series of road assignments at Xavier, Seton Hall, Villanova, Providence and Connecticut will determine whether Creighton can convert competitive chances into resume-altering victories. Until those chances are taken the combination of a signature neutral win and multiple concerning away losses keeps the team's standing fragile.
