As conference play begins Wednesday night for the Creighton Bluejays, they bring a solid resume with them — an 11-2 record, wins over four teams inside the top 100 of the NET rankings (Louisiana Tech, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Arizona State), and find themselves with a NET ranking themselves of 24. It seems like a safe bet to say they’re one of the 35-40 or so best teams in the country, which means they should be a safe bet to go dancing in March.
The crazy thing is that the Big East has seven other teams that can basically say the same thing, and two others on the periphery of that discussion.
