That sound you heard last night around 7 p.m. ET, right after all the cheers from the schools seeing their names splashed on the screen during the Selection Show, was the roar of buses heading for airports all over the country. And all with the same itinerary - destination Indianapolis.
When the NCAA Selection Show was completed and the entire field of 68 was revealed, the BIG EAST had four teams heading to Indy with the hopes of coming home with some championship hardware.
Creighton was the first BIG EAST school to see its name called as the Bluejays (20-8), who posted 14 BIG EAST victories this season and reached the conference championship game, received a fifth seed in the West Region.
