Creighton’s 2017-18 non-conference schedule is out, and though most of the games were already known (thanks in large part to WBR’s Patrick Marshall, who studiously tracks schedule announcements), the official release adds dates to those, in addition to a few games that weren’t known previously.
The slate features five teams who were in the NCAA Tournament a year ago, with games against Gonzaga, Northwestern, North Dakota, and two of UCLA, Wisconsin, or Baylor in the CBE Classic in KC. It’s top-heavy, though, with those five games offset by four games against teams who were 250 or higher in the computer rankings a year ago.
