The circumstances are eerily familiar.
Here was Creighton, off to a hot start to the season, just like last year. The Bluejays had some ambitious dreams of not only a BIG EAST championship, but a long and enjoyable run through the NCAA Tournament come March. It all seemed like a very solid bet.
But just like last season, when the Jays were thrown a major curve when national assists leader Maurice Watson Jr. was lost for the season to an ACL injury, the unthinkable happened again. This time to budding star Martin Krampelj, who like Watson, was lost to Creighton for the season when he tore his ACL in the Bluejays’ victory over Seton Hall last week.
