No. 4 seed Creighton hosts No. 5 seed Alabama in tonight's NIT first-round game at CenturyLink Center Omaha.
Both Creighton and Alabama stumbled down the stretch of the regular season and in their respective conference tournaments. Both programs had solid 2015-16 seasons compared to their previous season, posting 18-14 records and finishing in respectable places in their conferences. However, both will wonder what might have been. Now the Bluejays and the Crimson Tide have a chance to play for an NIT title and build towards next season.
