After being picked to finish eighth in the Big East, Creighton will return to the NCAA Tournament for the 23rd time in program history!
This is Creighton sixth appearance in the NCAA Tournament in the past ten seasons, and first set of consecutive appearances since they made it into the Big Dance twice in a row in 2017 and 2018. This is Coach McDermott’s 10th appearance in the NCAA Tournament, having made it from 2004-2006 with Northern Iowa and having made it in 2012-2014, 2017-2018, and 2021-2022 with Creighton.
Creighton had a roller coaster of a season this year, with tough games against Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Kennesaw State to start the season, but explosive performances in Big East play to propel Creighton to a 9-seed.
