Last year, when Creighton entered the field of 68 as a six seed against Rhode Island they quickly became a hot upset pick amongst your shitty co-workers and former lovers. A lot of bloggers and media folk went on and on about how good Rhode Island’s defense was, how the Jays limped into the tournament after losing so much, about how Danny Hurley is a crazy but kind man in a nice suit. The Rams even entered the matchup as a two point favorite.
Everyone was right. The Rhode Island defense picked the Jays apart and obliterated them to smithereens.
