10. Creighton Bluejays: 13-1

I think the Bluejays deserve a ton of credit for what they have done this season. While they did just lose a close game to #1 Villanova this weekend, they have beat some pretty good basketball programs over the course of this season.

Take a look at some of their impressive wins:

  • #9 Wisconsin by 12
  • NC State by 18
  • Ole Miss by 9

While NC State and Ole Miss aren’t super great programs, we do have to realize it’s Creighton we’re talking about here. The Blue Jays are playing great basketball this season and will be a team to watch come tournament time.
