#3 Seed in the latest bracketology

Super Bowl my butt. To be honest, I'd hate to have them get lucky against us, but then, they're so flipping soft that's just hard to fathom.

Why must you guys get me started with those clowns?

I just love hearing that an unranked team getting no press anymore thinks our super bowl would be a game against them. It sounds to me like CU and KU are throwing a giant toddler tantrum together.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I would LOVE to see CU draw KU in the NCAA tournament this year. I just don't know that it would be much of a game. They would probably both spend the whole game talking about how over rated and insecure WSU is. Hopefully one of the teams would remember they have a game before its over.

They're holding on to this season as long and tight as they can. It will be awhile before they'll even sniff the level of success they are likely to have this year, whatever that ends up being. They can't stand the thought of that coming to an end at the hands of Wichita State. It wouldn't be our Super Bowl by any means, but it would be rather poetic.

Not to worry, after this year, McDermott will start bringing in big-time recruits and winning just like he did at Iowa State!!! .... Right?

Why in the world would ANY Creighton fan be concerned about any game beyond the opening round? You guys kill me.

How many Championships did you win last year? 0? Cool story bro.

Lets compare CU vs WSU in a couple of sports.

Mens Basketball - Never past the first weekend vs Final Fours, Elite 8s, Sweet 16s, you know those things CU knows nothing about.
Creighton's baseball team has one appearance in the NCAA College World Series (1991). Hmm, that is CU's best year. Does any body know how WSU did that year? Does 8-0 sound familiar to anybody?

Can't tell you how many dozens of times I have played that clip. 2 reason...Creighton and the beauty of the play. I You Tube "the throw CWS" and it comes up. Gotta love it.

sCUm has the most overhyped program in college basketball history. I can care less how many conference titles you got, its what you do in March that counts.

Just for fun I went to see what Creighton fan was saying about this bracket. No surprise. Them moving to a different conference sure has gone to their heads. They would get along well with KU Fan.

I may be in the minority, but there is no way at all that I want to see WSU in the NCAA tournament. I don't care how overseeded they are or where the game is played. In our first year outside of their conference, can you even imagine how unbelievably jacked they would be to get a shot at us in the tourney? It'd be like the Super Bowl for them. And there'd be so much downside (in addition to the obvious downside of being eliminated from the tourney) to a possible loss to those guys. I'd much prefer a couple years' cushion before running into GGG and company again, myself.

I too, however, think it's a virtual lock that the committee will put us in position to meet them if at all possible.

Right now, the 8/9 seed is totally our team's own fault. When you're hoping to get a great seed in the tourney and you come out and look totally disinterested and unprepared to play for large stretches of consecutive games, losing two games you were supposed to win, as part of an otherwise unspectacular out of conference schedule, you have nobody else to blame but yourself for a potentially crappy 8/9 seed. There's a lot of time left to move that needle substantially -- I still think winning out until January 1 puts Creighton in position to be getting close to being ranked again, and beating Marquette on New Year's Eve would really get the Jays into the conversation. The possibility of top 10 wins against Villanova, the possibility of wins over Georgetown, Marquette, St. John's, Butler, X, etc. -- that all gives you an opportunity once conference play starts to make some serious gains in the potential seeds (and, of course, also gives you a chance to lose a whole lot of games).

A team like WSU has to get itself in the best possible position before conference play starts because there will not be a single meaningful win anywhere in conference play, and any loss will be considered a really bad one. Once conference play starts, the Jays can move up substantially, while the Shockers can really only move down.

If we end up looking at a 8/9 seed, I'd still rather get undervalued and put on the 11-13 lines. Only minimally tougher first round game, but exponentially easier second round game almost every single time.



IF WSU can keep it rolling - they'll have a nice slot as the most overseeded team in the tourney

an interesting twist considering that they were able to scale the current mountain on the zags backs (the most overseeded team in recent memory)






I do hope we meet them in the tourney. Guaranteed win if we can play them 2nd round and 90% chance to beat them 1st round if history repeats itself lol.

Man, that is one insecure little fanbase. They have no idea how to handle the newfound glory they stumbled into and are acting like freaking noobs lathering up over themselves and their overrated conferenc. Just look at how many times they have to reference FS1 to make themselves feel "big time". Yeah, that obscure network with no ratings is really leading them places, It's just funny. You have little ole WSU, from a conference sCUm was a part of 4 months ago, getting thousands of times more media love and notoriety than their team can even sniff, watching WSU ascend to Top 10 in th polls, while their overrated joke loses votes and now is down to zero in the AP (LOL). And all of this is happening while they were supposedly going to elevate themselves with a whole new conference full of Big east leftovers. That has to sting just a little, eh?

It's so sad that we've done more in the NCAA's in one year last year, than what they've done in all of their program's existence combined.

Keep talking about us, little insecure Blowjay fans. Maybe if you're lucky, we'll buy you for a game and you can experience what it feels like to play on National Television, say espn, for example.

Overrated, overhyped, you name it.

every Valley team, minus evansville and Illinois State has scoreboard over them in the NCAA Tournament. They are in good company.

At this point, it does not matter to me what Creighton fans think. It is irrelevant. Oh wait, I have never cared about what Ceighton fans think, and they have always been irrelevant. Let's keep winning, and let the haters hate.

Long wave the yellow and black.

Agree. Just like some of the KU fans, it is bizarre. I love how someone mentioned WSU's "obsession" with Creighton after one post from Dr WU, who was responding to multiple posts about WSU.
