Three years ago, a young Creighton team took a 7-3 record to Norman, Oklahoma for a mid-December battle with the Sooners. They’d been blown out on the road by a ranked Big Ten team (Indiana), lost to a solid power conference team at home (Arizona State), and lost a game they probably should have won after blowing a lead late (Loyola-Chicago). As such, OU was their last chance for a signature non-conference win before Big East play. They didn’t get it, and by late-February when that team had become dangerous enough to be squarely on the bubble for the NCAA Tournament, their resume suffered as a result.
