12. Creighton Bluejays

Previous Ranking: 8

Record: 15-1 (3-1 Big East)

Creighton fell at home to Villanova, but came back to pound both St. Johns and Providence on the road. The Bluejays are now in a tie for second in the Big East going into a date with Butler in Omaha.

Freshman Justin Patton continues his impressive freshman campaign. The Omaha native scored 20 points, along with six rebounds and three blocks, in the victory over the Friars. He is now averaging 14.3 points and 6.5 rebounds a game.

Marcus Foster still looks comfortable as the Bluejays’ best scoring threat. He has scored an average of 19.6 points over his last five games. Creighton is a fun to team to watch and should make a great run in March.
