Fresh off of an impressive three days in the Cayman Islands where they beat two NCAA Tournament-caliber opponents — including then-16th ranked Clemson — Creighton returns home for a big week. They’ll play host to the Montana Grizzlies, a team who won the Big Sky regular season and conference titles a year ago, returns four senior starters from a team who put a scare into eventual national runner up Michigan in the first round of the NCAA Tournament (they led 10-0 at the under-16 timeout before bowing out 61-47), and is picked to win that league again. And then they host #1 Gonzaga on Saturday, with Mark Few’s team claiming the top spot in the polls after knocking off previously-top ranked Duke in Maui.
