NEW YORK, N.Y. – The Creighton men's basketball team has been picked to win the BIG EAST Conference in the annual survey of league coaches, which was unveiled as part of BIG EAST Media Day on Tuesday at Madison Square Garden.
It's the first time since 2012-13 that Creighton has been chosen as a preseason favorite in its league, though that recognition came in CU's final season in the Missouri Valley Conference. The Bluejays also had four players receive recognition on one of the Preseason All-BIG EAST teams, tied with Villanova for the most in the league.
