Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 4255339, member: 591"] Yep. It is always the Power 5 and UConn, Creighton is a very, very nice surprise. We saw them play years ago, in a tourney at Duke (Gail was the Duke coach and Joe Ciampi was still at Auburn, maybe his last season, so Jim Flannery must have been fairly new, but he was the coach). It was the first day of their in-season tourney and we were passing through on the way to a Rutgers game (maybe at Clemson? or possibly LSU). Creighton has long been a good team, though obviously not Sweet 16 good in previous years. In consistency to date, they rank among the best of the Big East, along with DePaul and Marquette. The rest of them, Villanova included, have yet to show real consistency. Some of the teams just need new coaching, but again, as an outsider, I see a "glass ceiling" because of the revenue stream(s) at these schools. [/QUOTE]
