Is Creighton University Playing Their Way Onto The Bubble?

Same opinions?

No way did I expect the Shocks to dominate in Omaha.

Easy to fall out of Top 25. Harder for WSU to play their way into the Top 25.

CU's resume is still better than many. We're playing like crap though right now.

No one was more sure of the Jays making the tournament than I.

I must admit that I have some teensy doubt. Mainly, the cause of the doubt is the spread in the score of today's home loss for the Jays plus three losses in a row.

I still think the probability of the Jays making the tournament is >95%.

I don't think they are on the bubble yet, but they obviously need to start winning again or they will be.

Not good for our marquee program to lose two in a row. Does this mean they have to get to the championship game of the tournament?

I agree that losing to you isn't good for us. And we all know that Creighton is really struggling with a very tough game upcoming. But Creighton's RPI is still 21 which is better than WSU's. And CU is 3-1 vs Top 50 while WSU is 1-3. Who would be on the bubble if either team was on one?

A loss to WSU at home, your BracketBuster at home & at Indiana State which are all quite possible and you can play in the tourney WSU won last year.......................betcha if all of this comes into play that would be enough to sway the Big Dance panel & it would not be a good "last 10 games" issue either? The sure thing for the Jays took a serious hit last night.

Well there's one of the three and ironically three losses in a row also .............................time for a wakeup call. Here's to the Shockers.................

There is an enjoyable thread, for non-CU fans, on the BlueJay Underground that has suddenly gone silent. Before the Northern Iowa game someone posted a poll asking what CU's record will be over the next 5 game stretch. See for yourselves....

My favorite is the "NIT Here we come" thread...with these post

I see us losing to Long Beach, @SIU, and a friday or saturday loss in Arch Madness and getting a 1 seed in the NIT.
So disappointing.

We're really lucky that we won some of those close games earlier in the season or we would be on the bubble for the NIT, meaning a possible CBI berth. There was like 10 games that could have gone either way with a couple minutes left this season and we won all but about 2 of them.

Yeah and I saw a team with below average guard play whose guards are strictly spot up shooters. I saw a team that plays terrible defense. I saw a team that was shooting the lights out of it every single game. Its pretty obvious that a team can't sustain that level of shooting the entire season, especially when guys are low on confidence and revert to standing around. Lots of games left? I count 4 in the regular season. We are on the home stretch and are seriously limping to the finish line.

WSU might be better than we are but they shouldn't beat us by 20. Getting beat like that, at home, is evidence of giving up, playing soft and not fighting.
