Tough Break for Creighton

Extremely. And after such a great performance taking down no. 1 ranked Kansas. Likely would be a big shift in expectations for the team after this.
Wow, terrible.
Nothing worse than injuries to key players, as we know.

That’s a killer for them because we saw what that offense could look like with the two guards humming in the back court and big Kalk doing everything he does on both ends.
They are thing to get the Serbian kid eligible who everyone seems to rave about.

Creighton has been just cursed with serious injuries over the years.
The worst was when they lost Watson that year as I think that team could have made a final 4. They were loaded with NBA level talent and had scorers, wings, bigs and could hurt you lots of different ways.
Very tough loss. McDermott has done a really great job at Creighton. They always have great offensive principles that work with different types of players and their defense has jumped up a level during Kalkbrenner's career.
They are a program that is well-equipped to compete in the transfer/pay players era. They have great fan engagement, they pack their arena every game, they raise funds for whatever they need and they are quick to act on the changing landscape of college sports.
Their coach brings in the right players year after year. They quickly identify who they want and they bring them in. They've been knocking on the door of a Final Four the last 5 years with solid tournament success. Losing Isaacs will be a lot to overcome this year but they have a star 5 and a good veteran PG - the two hardest positions to find in NCAA. If Zugic is cleared by the NCAA they could still be a dangerous team.
