2025 Tournament PreviewCreighton finished second in the Big East regular season and then advanced to the conference tournament final to earn a fifth consecutive NCAA Tournament bid under coach Greg McDermott. The Bluejays are carried by All-American candidate Ryan Kalkbrenner (19.4 ppg, 8.8 rpg, 2.7 bpg), a 7-1 senior who shoots a tournament-high 65.5 percent from the field. Thanks to Kalkbrenner, Creighton owns the nation's 16th-highest two-point field-goal percentage (57.3) and is 15th in opponent two-point shooting (46.0). The Bluejays lost top transfer Pop Isaacs (hip) after eight games, but senior guard Steven Ashworth (16.3 ppg, 6.8 apg, 4.1 rpg) picked up the slack, shooting 36.9 percent from distance (275 attempts). Creighton is top 45 in both offensive and defensive efficiency (per KenPom), though it ranks 361st in opponent turnover rate. In a weak Big East, with a 6-6 Quad 1 record and a 5-4 Quad 2 record, Creighton might have trouble with tougher competition.
