The Flaming Burning Stinking & Predictable Disaster that is Creighton Basketball

You can get 2000:1 odds on them to win the tourney

The Big East tourney? The CIT?

Maybe once in like the 50's or 60's, not withstanding the fact that there were only 16 teams in the whole tournament back then.

I don't even think they have a banner recognizing this.

The most accurate statement is "they have never won 2 NCAA games in the same year" . . . Ever!!!

What are the odds they will even be in the tourney?

That's why it's 2000-1, KW. The first 1500 are the odds against them reaching the tourney at all; the last 500 are the odds against them winning if they're good enough to surprise people and get in.

Just a small correction...Creighton has never won consecutive NCAA Tournament games. In 1962 and 1974, Creighton won a game then lost a regional semifinal game and then won a regional third-place game, which occurred at the time. The equivalent now would have been us beating West Virginia (who lost to Kentucky) after we lost to Notre Dame this year.

Marcus Foster to the rescue. Lol.

I'm looking forward to watching Foster keep this thread alive.

The best part of this is that you have to go that far back to find their best appearances. . . When they were the best losers!! Ha ha ha!!!

Thanks for the clarification, WuShock16. I forgot about the old third-place games, and in fact didn't even realize that the NCAA used to have them in regionals as well as the Final Four (which Bill Bradley made it all too easy to remember).

This made my day. Thank you @kai: for sharing the news, thanks Big East preseason poll voters, and thank you CU for sucking.

Pretty sure McDermott is "at his level" right about now.
