    Can Creighton Win the National Title???

    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

    He can really shoot it though and with his size he should translate to the NBA ok. He's fun to watch that's for sure. I like Creighton as an elite 8 team depending on there draw obviously.

    I could see a Final 4 appearance provided they are lighting it up from downtown.
    I have followed Creighton hoops for about 20 years now...think they need a legit big man on defense though.
    Echenique was that guy last year. The Jays just never seem to do well past the 1st round in the NCAA tourney.
    I'm going with Elite 8 this season though.

    So hard to say w/o knowing the draw, the 1st team they run into that can defend the 3 it lights out, live and die by the trey teams don't generally go real far. Certainly helps mcnugget is a tough matchup but ultimately a team that defends the perimeter will bounce them and I hope they run into one of these teams early, do the right thing and give them a nasty defensive low seed committee so we can profit and laugh when they don't make it past 1st weekend!

    The key to them in the tourney is that kid wragge. He's the best shooter in the land. If he shoots it as well as he can they would be hard to beat. I don't think there is any clear cut teams to beat this year so it should be interesting.

    Absolutely they can......with confidence, there is no team in NCAA that I could say would beat Creighton 75% of the time.....not Syracuse, not Arizona....no one.

    This year seems like anyone can win it. While I would still be looking for the bigger name schools, they have as good a chance as anybody. Wide open this year IMO.

    Also remember that this is a 3 loss villanova team that TWO of those losses came at the hands of Creighton. Beatdowns at that.

    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...

    McDermott was around last year when they got bounced out the tourney in the first round. They could make some noise but my guess, they don't make past the sweet 16 if even that far....

    I truly don't believe Florida would crush them. I think Florida would win the game, UNLESS the boy Wragge is shooting like he can. If he is shooting as good as he can along with McDermott, Creighton can beat anyone.

    Let's not get crazy here. They've lost to Providence & St. John's. Don't get crazy with the 2 Villanova wins......nova does not defend the 3 well and look like they are a bit overrated

    there 2 sides to that sword and the reason we wont get to see one of the really good teams crush jays, teams that live by the 3 dont make it that far..

    butler had them beat as well.watch how they struggle with a few of these conf gms the second time around..nova just soft but teams that can defend are gonna take away they trey and then what? no one besides mcnugget has even attempted 100 shots inside the arc or even 70 fts.. that shit aint a formula for advancing in the dance,, kids love the sexy high scoring teams, throw in a white boy star and they all bout to jizz at the idea of creighton being legit contenders..

    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.
