Currently Creighton up 2 with about 6 min left in the game.
Does Petteway from Nebraska reming anyone else of Teen Wolf?
Creighton leading Nebraska 56-49 with under 3:00 to play.
Blue Jays are going to do it.....Conference has really been great in the non conference
Creighton knocks of Nebraska on the road 65-55. Another big win for the Big East and a 3-0 day.
Every team in the league has beaten a fellow high-major opponent, and there are probably seven bids (Nova, Butler, G-Town, Prov., SJU, Creighton, Hall) if Selection Sunday was today. Xavier has the talent and potential to finish above every one of those teams except for Nova, and will need to do with a fairly weak out of conference resume.
I think we will be a much improved team with Fischer's presence, but the conference schedule will be a tough challenge that many Marquette fans seem to be underestimating. I would be ecstatic to repeat last year's 9-9 showing, and believe 6-8 conference wins is a more realistic target.
