Can Creighton Win the National Title???

[USCPHILLYGUY]

So I take it you are insinuating Providence and St Johns are not good teams??

I'd say both teams are a 55-60 rpi / bpi team. So to answer your question I don't feel neither are good teams.

[Justin3587]

Not even reality! Even with the easiest bracket, its just not possible. You need rebounders, scorers and defenders. Creighton only has McDermott and he is excellent but that is not enough. Florida is going to win it all and they are gonna do it with "D". I can guarantee you that Mr. McDermot doesn't get 25 on Florida. I don't think FLA loses again this year.

They probably won't in the regular season. They play Holy Trinity school of the deaf 6 more times. Tournament time will be different.

If gators could play creighton six times in a row they be national champs.. Comical how much u overrate jays and underrate fla.

[ChalkyDog]

They can make a final four run, but the stars would have to align.

Sweet 16 seems their absolute ceiling.

[Albert Pujols]

Of course they can, that's why it's called March Madness. Anyone that says they can't is a tool. Last week, they were ranked ahead of Wichita in the Sagarin ratings. I haven't checked this week but I'm sure they are still higher.

[Regul8er]

you tripping,, they lose in the tourney 99% of the time to gators (id make fla -10), sparty, duke, zona, slu would wax them cause they play perimeter d, uk, ku, there a bunch more, i wont say cuse cuase 3 point teams are their weakness, when the last time a absolute 3 point dependent team ran thru the tourney, cut off the head and the snake will die, ask st johns.. team is bout as overrated as it gets cause they own a fukkn nova team that is perennially overrated and gets bounced the 1st weekend, they will both be home by end of 1st weekend unless they get great draws...

99% of the time...........you cant be serious. If you are, then you haven't watched Creighton play yet. These guys have beaten the brakes off Villanova by a combined 50 points in 2 games....a top 5 team in the nation, well maybe 7 or 8, strictly because of Creighton. It's always tough to defend a team in which every player on the court can shoot at a high clip. Creighton would hang with Florida, no question in my mind.

That White boy McDermitt can str8 up ball. Any chance Creighton wins the whole damn thing?

Florida , Syracuse, and Arizona may be a tough task for the Blue jays but i think they may a have a chance to pull off a miracle cinderella story

Funny you brought this up. I watched the whole Creighton/Nova game last night, the one thought that kept crossing my mind was if a team could figure out how to limit McDermitt the rest of the team is very mediocre at best offensively. They only have one other player who averages double digits and he's at a solid 11 points per game. What if McDermitt gets hurt, roles an ankle? Who's gonna pick up the slack...

any well coached strong defensive team will find a way to take McDermitt out of the game, when that happens they are done

[jarvol]

They live and die by the 3 and an athletic perimeter team will help them die by the 3, however if they play and shoot like they do against Villanova they can make a deep run.

U living in imagination land if u think whipping a soft nova team and hanging with gators are anything the same. Nova and these pretenders both be gone early.. Holla at me when your great white hope gets past sweet 16 cause it ain't happening, gonna take favorable draw to get out of 1st weekend..watched them plenty this yr and a ton last year they not a threat, they a jump shooting bunch of wussies with the exception of Gibbs who brings the only toughness they have..

Florida vs. Creighton would be a fun game to watch come tourney time. Someone drop the selection committee a line and make that happen!

[isotopes]

This is the dumbest thread ever. . . . Everyone knows that the Syracuse Orangemen will be walking away with the title this year

sorry its the Gators!! That "D" is what is going to win it. They might as well cut em down right now.

[texhooper]

of course he's black. have you read his posts? it's beside the point. he's right. i said the same shit in another one of these 'can creighton go deep' threads. take it from a white guy, creighton will go nowhere in the tournament.

Nah, I'll just watch the games and wager accordingly. If a 9 seed can win the tourney, a 3 seed certainly can. McDermott is the best scorer in the game and can put up 40 in a game that he has to. Of course they are live to win the whole damn thing.

[isotopes]

Gators are good. To bad the average team in the SEC is about as good as a high school girls varsity team. So no clue how dominant the gators are.

I will tell you who is not winning the title: the most inconsistent and overrated team in the Country- Kansas. Creighton has a better shot than Kansas.

creigton loses today

creigton loses today

Nothing but a 15 point road win lol.

[Albert Pujols]

How's it taste, haters? McBuckets 27 in the 1H.

[Albert Pujols]

Still think this team sucks, squares? LOL.

[Vinnie Paz]

...

[Christopher1991]

8-30 3point shooting,when it's not dropping they look clueless.

[Plaza23]

Uh no. That team is awful outside of McDermott. They arent even as good as BYU was a few years ago with Jimmer.

[Otters27]

Terrible performance. If they miss 3's in the tourney they will lose to a 13 seed in the first game

[MUHerd37]

Very good chance they don't get out of the 1st round. Team is highly overrated.
