OMAHA, Neb. -- Back-to-back wins over ranked teams helped the Creighton men's basketball team soar five spots to a season-best No. 10 in this week's Associated Press Top 25 poll.
The ascension comes after commanding victories at No. 19 Marquette and over No. 21 Butler last week. CU never trailed in the final 29 minutes against the Golden Eagles and posted a wire-to-wire triumph over the Bulldogs. The victories gave Creighton five top-25 wins this season, and fourth in the month of February. Both are school records.
This is Creighton's highest ranking since the week of January 16, 2017, when the Bluejays were a program-record seventh.
