OMAHA, Neb. -- The Creighton men's basketball team moved up one spot to a tie for seventh in the January 16th Associated Press poll, it was announced on Monday. It's the highest rank in the AP poll in program history, and the team's eighth straight week as a top-10 team in the AP poll.
Creighton (17-1, 4-1 BIG EAST) jumped up a spot after wins over then-No. 12 Butler (75-64) and Truman State (101-69). The Bluejays are tied for seventh with West Virginia, which beat then-No. 1 Baylor last week.
The Bluejays have now been ranked 79 weeks in program history, with 51 of those under the direction of seventh-year head coach Greg McDermott.
