Creighton’s played two games since their season was thrown into turmoil by Greg McDermott’s inappropriate remarks to the team following the loss at Xavier. It’s hard to know exactly where they stand heading into the Big East Tournament based on those two performances, especially with McDermott now back on the bench.
The first game featured perhaps their worst half of basketball of the season. They fell behind by as many as 22 points, looking exhausted mentally. Yes, a crazy 17-0 run in the second half got it down to a two-possession game before the Wildcats sealed the win.
