OMAHA, Neb. -- Creighton and Providence hope to add a little shine to their postseason resumes in Wednesday's Big East Conference basketball rematch.
For the No. 23 Bluejays, it's about securing the No. 2 seed in the Big East tournament and the highest possible seed for the NCAA tourney.
Providence is trying to bounce off the NCAA bubble and into the tournament, whether it's for a first-round game in Dayton or when the tournament begins in earnest March 16.
"It's obviously a big game for Providence as they try to get themselves on the right side of the bubble for the NCAA tournament," Creighton coach Greg McDermott said.
