They are 5-5 against the top 94. Two wins each over #95 Evansville and #99 Bradley that I don't think the committee is going to treat as big wins. Giving them big points for 9-5 against the top 100 is like giving big credit to Niagara for 5-3 against the top 100 when two of their wins are over #97 Fairfield. When I look at Niagara and Creighton's resumes I'm not seeing much difference. Add to it that Niagara destroyed Illinois St in the bracket buster and then Illinois St destroyed Creighton in the MVC semis and I don't see how Creighton can be in and Niagara not even under consideration. Neither looks like an NCAA tourney team to me, even in a weak bubble.
