On the Road again…

The 2025-26 Big East regular season finale was today for our Creighton Bluejays. Ending the seaon on the road @Hinkle…the Butler Bulldogs. Good news is we won the finale over Butler 76-59, to finish the regular season at 15-16 overall / 9-11 BE.

Jays are making history this season…and not the kind I / we enjoy.

• This will be the 1^st losing regular season since the 2014-15 season (14-19/4-14 in BE).
• Creighton will miss the 20 win mark for the 1^st time in the last 11 seasons (also the 2014-15 year), and
• Fail to win 10 conference games for the 1^st time in the last six (6) seasons (2018-19, 9-9).

Jays appear to be headed for the BET 5-seed…after DePaul (16-14 / 8-11BE) lost to Villanova tonight. However, should DePaul beat Butler on Saturday, 7^th March 2026, they will tie CU in conference play and have the tiebreaker (swept the Jays) to take the 5-seed.

Creighton’s only chance for postseason play lies in winning the BET next week in NYC. The won’t get an NIT bid…and imho should not accept a lesser postseason tourney (CBI / CIT), but probably will when offered (if they have a shot to squeak 20 w’s).

Note: Top 25 2026 recruit Jaxon Richardson (247-#21, On3/Rivals-#27 , ESPN_#17 ) is deciding/declaring his college choice this week. Jays are still in the hunt for him. 247 thinks that he’s a Jay (predictions).
