Creighton

[CAGASS24]

Tuesday night against a sub 500 drake team and they pull 18k, fourth largest in team history....gonna be some fun games in Omaha!!!  Hope they come in as predicted!!!

[GGGG]

Yeah, and I have a feeling McDermott is there for the long-haul.

[CAGASS24]

Hope so, chance he could crack that elusive 3k point mark though hard pressed to think he'll sniff pistol Pete

[CAGASS24]

If referring to Doug as opposed to Greg; hope both stay though!!

[Ellenson Guerrero]

I think he was referring to the coach... I doubt the NCAA will make an exception to the eligibility limits.

[CAGASS24]

Well you know, long haul possibly meaning Doug's four years as he's currently projected for 2013 draft and a very strong tourney could skyrocket the guy

I was.  He is a very good coach.

They have a great fan base and it is a fine school.  They had almost 16k for a 48 point win over the Longwood Lancers on Nov. 20.  Very excited for this rivalry to develop.

[ATL MU Warrior]

well, having grown up near Omaha, I can tell you that there isn't a whole lot to do there and if you like basketball, this is pretty much it for you. 

Agree though that the fan support is tremendous.  it's a nice facility that they play in too.

Yeah...instead of playing Syracuse, Pitt, Loserville, Uconn every year I want to play Creighton!  Can't wait!!!  You people are out of your minds.  Maybe we will be lucky enough to have Brian Wardle as our coach...you know Buzz isn't staying and I can't blame him.

Who is out of their minds?  People looking for reasonable alternatives or someone bitching that it won't be like it was before...and never will be again?

Who screwed your ol' lady last night? 

Badger troll?

In case you didn't notice, Syracuse, Pitt, and Louisville already left, and there's no invite coming from the ACC any time soon. So are we better off sticking around to play UConn and Cincy but also having to play Houston, SMU, and Tulane, or bailing and playing Georgetown, Butler, Creighton, and VCU without the sub-200 RPI draggers at the bottom?

I wouldn't be surprised.  A lot of schools came calling for Dana Altman during his 16 years before Oregon was finally able to pry him away.

Or we could be totally screwed like UConn.  Sometimes you have to accept reality.

[MU82]

Will be happy to have Creighton in the C7+. I was hoping we'd stop at them, Xavier and Butler, at least at first, but Dayton and St. Louis will be fine, too.

Jt, The old Big East is dead.    This is the best option available to MU.    See my signature.

This was my attitude about a year ago.  Turn the page man.  It's not Syracuse and Louisville, but I'd much rather play Creighton and Xavier than SMU and Tulane.

The poster said that they "couldn't wait" to play in the same conference as Creighton.  I recognize those (Big East schools) are leaving, but I certainly wouldn't say I "can't wait" to being a mid-major with no coach and a bunch of lost recruits.  That's the reality of the situation but if you are all excited about that so be it. The whole thing is depressing.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

How about you do a little research before you run your mouth of this nonsense. The conference as it was shown consistently would have been around the 5th best conference. Thats better than the SEC and better than the Pac 10 in some years. Plus its gonna be better then the current Big East once it blows up. Next were going to be maxing more money off the television contract. I swear, some scoopers...

Did I fall asleep and miss something?  We are now a "mid-major" and lost our coach and recruits?

[CAGASS24]

Only you used the words " can't wait"; the original post and everyone else just spoke to wanting them in the league; if you can find 3-5 teams willing to leave their conf that are better than Creighton let's here it

[SqueallyDRyan]

I am biased because I got my undergraduate degree from Creighton. But, I am extremely excited for them to join the new conference.
