Tuesday night, Creighton brings it’s shiny, newly-minted Top Ten ranking onto the court against the Buffalo Bulls, a team that won 20 games and advanced to the NCAA Tournament a year ago after beating Creighton’s opponent on Saturday — Akron — in the MAC title game. It’s a MACtastic week for the Jays, and one that could be a landmine if they come out flat as they did this past Saturday against Loyola-Maryland, because both Buffalo and Akron are quality mid-major opponents better equipped to upset an unfocused Creighton team than the Greyhounds were.
Buffalo has won the MAC two years straight, including last year in what was supposed to be a complete rebuild.
