Projection: likely out

Creighton's body of work pairs eye-catching signatures with damaging blemishes, which is why a play-in destination feels like the natural landing spot. They have shown they can win big away from home with a road victory at Villanova and a dominant trip to Xavier and they added a neutral win over Oregon, yet those bright spots are offset by ugly defeats at Gonzaga and Nebraska and neutral-site setbacks to Baylor and Iowa State that undercut the résumé. Home victories over conference heavyweights help, but a surprising loss to St John's and uneven results on the road leave the committee with reason for pause. The remaining slate offers winnable games against DePaul and Seton Hall along with meetings against Connecticut that could swing their fate, and unless they clean up the avoidable losses and grab a marquee win they are likely to hover on the bubble and end up in a play-in spot.
