Creighton opens Big East play Wednesday in Cincinnati with a 5-5 record, their worst record after 10 games in the Greg McDermott Era. Granted, the schedule wasn’t nearly as tough that year, but even the 2014-15 team — the last and so far only team of the McDermott Era to finish with a losing record and miss the postseason — had a better mark through 10 games. You have to go back to 2009-10 to find the last Bluejay team with a .500 or worse mark at this point of the season, as Dana Altman’s final Creighton team started 4-6.
