The Creighton Bluejays went on Christmas break with a 10-2 record and a #25 ranking, and they begin Big East Conference action on the road at #23 Seton Hall. It’s a tough opener, and not just because The Hall is a veteran team expected to challenge Villanova for league supremacy. It’s tough because as always, the Pirates are a big, physical team that cleans the offensive glass better than almost any team in college basketball; often times, the defensive battle really begins once a missed shot hits the rim, because the Pirates best offense comes off of mismatches created in the scrum for a rebound, or in quick put-backs off a missed shot before the defense can reset.
