Every year that Creighton has been fortunate enough to see their name pop up on the television screen on Selection Sunday, the same question immediately comes to mind with the fans: who is the potential second round opponent that will stand in the way of the Bluejays reaching the Sweet 16 for the first time in program history?
This year that answer is either 13-seed Ohio or 4-seed — and the reigning national champion from the last time we actually had an NCAA Tournament — Virginia. While it is perfectly acceptable for fans, media members, video coordinators, and an assistant coach or two to look ahead to the second game, it would behoove Creighton’s players not do the same.
