Creighton wins . . . barely

OK. They are certainly limping to the finish line. If they go 0-1 at St Louis, they'd be 4-4 in their last 8 (I think); with their 4 wins all being nail-biters. Maybe I'm misinformed, but they certainly have been exposed as being over-hyped and overrated.

CU most likely plays Drake and Evansville in St. Louis. Both teams look like potential problems for CU. Both can light it up if the D on them is weak. CU looks tired now - really tired. Some rest might get their O clicking better, but they haven't really played D all year, so that's not likely to improve. I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see CU lose before the finals.

CU has a week to get their legs back, but that may effect last only the first game or maybe two. They should be leg-tired again by Sunday if they don't falter before.

Sorry, first time poster here. I dont think the selection committee looks so much at how you won. Yes they will see the scores of those games and see how close they were but a win is still a win. If anything, I feel like the committee would look and say oh they can gut out close games....that could potentially make for some great bb in the NCAA tourney. Its not like they are going to go back and look at Creighton's shooting percentages for each of those games compared to earlier in the year or something. And regardless, they have the resume to get in. There are plenty of other teams who are "over-hyped and overrated" who will also get into the tournament, some far less deserving than Creighton, truth be told.
