Huge win. Creighton just really matches up well with these guys. Butler is no joke. They have wins v. Nova, Arizona, Xavier, Cincy...all top 20 RPI teams. But the jays are clearly better than Butler...dominated the first game for most of the game and played really well tonight. 2-0 against them will look good at seeding time.
Jays aren't out of the woods yet. Because Butler is a good match-up I don't want to get too jazzed thinking all is well now. Can't count on shooting 62% from 3 every night. But man this was big. Xavier should be beatable without Sumner but far from a lock. But beat them and Depaul and confidence will be high at 22-3 and heading out on the road to Seton Hall.
I feel better tonight than I did after G'town, that's for sure.
