NEW YORK, N.Y. – The 2018-19 Creighton men's basketball team has been picked to finish ninth in the BIG EAST Conference, with junior forward Martin Krampelj being named Honorable Mention All-BIG EAST. The results of a preseason poll of BIG EAST coaches were announced on Thursday morning as part of the league's annual Media Day festivities at Madison Square Garden.
Creighton was the coaches' pick for ninth place in the poll, but has matched or exceeded its preseason projection every season since joining the BIG EAST in 2013-14. The Bluejays put together a 21-12 season in 2017-18, advancing to the NCAA Tournament for the fifth time in seven seasons.
