NIT Foe=Creighton

Wednesday night, 8pm (ET) in Omaha, the Falcons will take on Creighton in the first round of the NIT.

I like this matchup much better than playing a worn out and bored Big 10 team like Penn State. Creighton was a true bubble team that probably lost its slot to some of the conference upsets (like Cleveland State). They are a number 1 seed in the NIT, and BG is a #8, which is as low as they go.

They were 26-7 with an RPI of 40...and are probably the best team we have played since the OSU game.

But, on the other hand, Creighton is a mid-major team with the MVC player of the year, a guy who shot 49% from beyond the arc. It is an excellent test for us, and against a team that I truly think will be working hard to win the NIT and set the stage for future success.
