Wichita State and Creighton have been competing for decades, and the rivalry has picked up steam lately because both squads have been mid-major powers.
The Bluejays made the big dance six times in the 2000s, but the Shockers made a run to the Sweet Sixteen in the 2006 tournament.
Right now, both teams are tied atop the Missouri Valley Conference, which has become one of the best mid-major leagues in the country.
A showdown this week in Omaha will determine who has the edge heading into the conference
