OMAHA, Neb. -- Still stinging from a pair of upsets that could cost Creighton its spot in The Associated Press Top 25, the No. 16-ranked Bluejays have another shot Saturday to prove they belong among the country's elite teams before Monday's ratings are published.
Creighton (18-3, 5-3) will host DePaul in a Big East Conference showdown at CenturyLink Center. The Blue Demons (8-12, 1-6 Big East) are dealing with their own struggles, including an 0-7 record in road games.
"They've had some games where they've been really close," Creighton coach Greg McDermott said. "At Villanova they've come as close as anybody has, and they had Butler down 20 the other day and lost in overtime.
