Hypothetically speaking, Creighton could lose to Xavier today and Villanova on Wednesday. Assuming they take care of business against Butler next weekend, that puts them at 14-6 (.700).

Let’s say we find a way to win @ Seton Hall and at home against Georgetown, we end up at 11-6 (.647).

Can’t look back now, but it’s worth noting that we’re a couple free throws away (either against Creighton or St. John’s) from finishing 2nd in the Big East. If we flipped one of those results, our conference record (again, all hypothetical) would be 12-5 (.705).

Who knows what that record would look like if Bouknight didn’t miss 8 games - but my guess is there would be at least a couple more victories in the win column.

My overall point? We are legit when we’re at full strength. This team is not “playing for next year”, we’re a team that can do some postseason damage starting on March 9th. I think we have a special roster that’s extremely capable of reaching the second weekend [I]and beyond[/I].

Let’s enjoy it while it lasts. Sit back, relax, and we’ll see what James Bouknight can do to immortalize his legacy in Storrs.
