Projected seed: 3

Creighton has built a solid NCAA tournament resume with a mix of both high-octane offense and competent defense. They boast impressive victories over a range of opponents, including marquee wins against formidable foes like Alabama and a decisive victory in their rematch against a very strong Connecticut team. The Bluejays have shown they can handle adversity, bouncing back from early-season losses, such as the slip-up against Colorado State, and a tough one against a UNLV team that caught them off guard. They demonstrated their mettle in close-fought battles, eked out wins over tough Big East adversaries like Villanova and Marquette, and avenged a previous loss to Providence, proving they can adjust and improve. While the losses at Seton Hall and versus Providence in the conference tournament should give pause, their strong finish to the season, especially that convincing win over Connecticut, indicates they're peaking at the right time. Their ability to secure victories against high-caliber teams is what sets them apart and establishes them as a threat to make a deep run in the tournament.
