StatSheet is now projecting Creighton to be a seven seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Bluejays are currently on track for an automatic bid, but don't need it to retain the invite as they're the #17 team in the AP Poll and sit at #14 in the StatSheet StatRank. They have a 21-3 overall record and an 11-2 record in the Missouri Valley.
During its last four games, Creighton looked solid with wins against Illinois State, Bradley, and Drake but also dropped one against RPI #51 Northern Iowa.
Creighton is tough against strong competition, with an 8-3 record against the RPI Top 100 that includes a 4-2 record against the RPI Top 50 and a 1-0 record against AP ranked teams. The Bluejays boast three quality wins including RPI #27 Wichita State, RPI #36 Northwestern, and AP #13 San Diego State with no bad losses.
The last four teams into the NCAA Tournament with at-large bids are Ole Miss (14-8, 4-4 SEC, StatRank #52), Minnesota (17-7, 5-6 Big Ten, StatRank #50), NC State (17-7, 6-3 ACC, StatRank #58), and Notre Dame (15-8, 7-3 Big East, StatRank #55).
The first four teams out are Brigham Young (20-6, 8-3 West Coast, StatRank #46), Colorado (16-7, 8-3 Pac 12, StatRank #66), New Mexico (19-4, 5-2 Mountain West, StatRank #41), and Texas (15-9, 5-6 Big 12, StatRank #71).
