I don't see how any of their conference wins elevates Creighton to number 4. That's the reason Creighton and Marquette play tough non-conference schedules. Agreed. The only conference game left on their schedule that will "help" is likely @ Marquette*, but it won't be enough either. They need help, they need a few more opponents to get into the top 25 and chaos at the top, which becomes less and less likely each week. *hopefully they see Marquette again in the Big East tournament, but that can't be expected after what we saw last year. |

I mean, maybe, and it's nice that she likely believes that or said it. But, taking one of the two 5 setters on the road in the non-conference, I think that probably takes them into top 4, but it didn't happen that way (unfortunately). Opponents around top 25 in the unmodified RPI this morning Purdue - 15 USC -16 Marquette - 27 Missouri - 30 NC State - 33 Rice was close too before losing two last week, but is currently at 39, and just eh after losing those. I don't see how any of their conference wins elevates Creighton to number 4. That's the reason Creighton and Marquette play tough non-conference schedules. I don’t see Creighton ever moving to #4. Imo, their Committee’s placement at #6 is probably 2 spots too high. If Texas and Wisconsin continue to play at their current levels, they will surpass Creighton; both are considerably better offensively than they were 3 weeks ago, Wisconsin’s freshman setter is much more comfortable with both placement and decisions she was prior to the beginning of the conference slate and Texas finally is playing their best OPP instead of their best portal get. In the end, when the committee looks for their top 8, Creighton won’t be any better than 8th. Texas and Wisconsin’s remaining schedules allow them to gain spots and I expect they will; Creighton’s does not. The biggest question I have is where Penn State will end up. |

Go chaos and Mizzou Tigers in about 10 days! (What I want and what I think will happen are two different things) |

Creighton's non-conference opponents were 19-1 this last week. The sole loss being NC State to Boston College.

Hey Bluejay fans! In case you didn't already know, thought I'd share that Sunday's match against Marquette will be televised on FS1. Since most Big East is broadcast on the FloSports platform, I feel like it's noteworthy when a match is on national TV. I look forward to tuning in : )

Where would Creighton host a Regional if they were a top 4 seed?

Where would Creighton host a Regional if they were a top 4 seed? DJ Sokol most likely. There's supposedly 3000 min requirement, but it was discussed previously on the board (somewhere) about Pitt's home court not having that (review the box scores from last year/look at attendance). I believe the capacity is listed over 3000 for Pitt's arena, but some remodeling caused it to be less (iirc). CHI is an option I think, but Creighton volleyball likely isn't filling it, and I'd much rather stay at DJ Sokol vs a 30-40% empty arena. There's other options around Omaha, but at that point, I don't know why you even bother. I'm still not optimistic that this is likely. I think it gets a lot more likely if they win on the road at Marquette this weekend (something the Jays have struggled to do). There needs to be some chaos with Stanford/Pitt/Penn St/SMU/Wisconsin as well. If it comes down to picking Louisville vs Creighton, well, Creighton loss the head to head. I don't see Louisville skidding a bunch helping Creighton in any way. If anything, that might be used against Creighton. |

Oh right, I had thought the minimum was 4,000, but just double checked and it is still 3,000. |

I don't see Louisville skidding a bunch helping Creighton in any way. If anything, that might be used against Creighton. I agree that having a regional at Sokol is much better than having it at CHI. Even when CHI is almost full, spectators are much further from the volleyball floor because of the extra-large area that was built to accommodate ice hockey. In the event that Creighton wins out, I think that their primary competitor for the final spot will be Penn State. |
