It’s just the second week of January, but we’ve already arrived at what feels like Must-Win Sunday. In the midst of an unforgiving opening stretch to Big East play, Creighton has dropped two of their first three, with a road trip to St. John’s (and the spectacular Shamorie Ponds) and Georgetown (where they’ve won just once since entering the league) coming up. Hitting the road at 1-3 would put their postseason hopes on the brink of evaporation.
The opponent for Must-Win Sunday is the defending national champion Villanova Wildcats, who feature a roster of new faces but who enter the game as the only undefeated team in the league at 3-0.
