New York, N.Y. -- After claiming a share of the BIG EAST crown at 16-2 last season, the Creighton women's basketball team was picked to finish fourth in the 2017-18 Coaches Poll with 58 votes.
The Bluejays went 24-8 overall and matched DePaul at 16-2 in conference play. Just two starters return from that Bluejay squad, including All-BIG EAST First Team pick Audrey Faber who led Creighton in scoring with a 12.8 clip in 2016-17.
The defending BIG EAST Tournament champion Marquette was a unanimous choice to claim the 2017-18 title as the Golden Eagles return four starters and 10 letterwinners from that squad.
