ANALYSIS: Creighton has been extremely effective at times this year and should be regarded as a serious opponent. They have a record of 23-12 and are ranked 48th overall (out of 358) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #6 team (out of 11) in the Big East (average ranking 64.5). With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.703 (which ranks 20th nationally), Creighton is one of the more battle-tested teams in the college game.
The Creighton defense will be extremely problematic for most opposing offenses. Allowing about 91 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, the club is ranked 25th overall in defensive efficiency. Creighton is a superior unit when it comes to preventing opponents from getting to the foul line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 18.47 vs. AO, they are currently rated seventh in the country in that category. Creighton will also take a bite out of many opponents' shooting percentages, based on the fact that the team ranks in the top-50 in three of our four primary defensive field goal categories. They allow AO to convert only 30.1% of their three-pointers (39th in the nation), 50.9% of their near-proximity attempts (13th), and 38.3% of their total shots from the field (13th). Creighton lastly does a fantastic job to prevent opposing teams from capitalizing on chances from offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 3.3% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 20th in the NCAA). If Creighton does exhibit a noticeable weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's propensity to allow too many shot attempts per trip. The squad has a rating of 90.09 in defensive field goal attempt rate vs. AO, which ranks tenth-worst in college basketball.
Creighton is also a fairly decent team on the offensive end of the court. The team ranks 86th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 106 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Creighton is one of the nation's most effective teams finishing close to the iron. The team is ranked 15th in the country in near-proximity field goal percentage, making approximately 66.5% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO. The squad likewise lands in the top-50 in overall offensive field goal percentage and makes good on about 46.5% of their total attempts vs. AO.
Creighton has been playing some of its most efficient basketball of the season recently and is presently ranked sixth in positive momentum.
Projections are based on present-day ratings. Stars indicate games played at a neutral location. Game efficiencies only account for data before a contest has gone analytically final and are adjusted to extract home-court advantage.

Creighton is more efficient than normal 75% of the time when facing clubs that have a defensive field goal attempt rate vs. AO greater than 84.55. In all other contests, Creighton performs better than average 26% of the time.
Creighton is typically worse vs. teams that have trouble defending the mid-range shot. Against foes that have a defensive mid-range field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 36.34%, Creighton performs above their norm 21% of the time. Against the remaining opposition, the team performs above average 67% of the time.
When facing teams that shoot the ball well from the field, Creighton often performs better than normal. Creighton is more efficient than usual 60% of the time when facing teams that have an offensive field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 43.77%. In their other contests, Creighton performs better than the norm 20% of the time.
