They cracked the top 10 briefly in korver's sr. year.
I guess there are some Husker elitist attitudes as well. 
Again, so long as they aren't playing each other -- I say: Go Big Red and Go Jays (in that order).

What is the name of that famous Blue jay basketball player who couldn't read or write? I think he played under Barone or Reed.
Saw a funny tweet last night "Creighton fans are headed back to San Antonio for the first time since the 2005 Alamo Bowl"
So this is Creighton's best year in program history, correct? I really did want them to win the Big East title; I think it was a golden opportunity missed.
Actually it was Kevin Ross. I think he started under Tom apke and finished under Willis reed
unless you go back a way. And it is the highest rank...not necessarily best year. Being in the big east and being able to play more good teams helps with perception...and thus ranking. Doesn't mean they won't be back...they have 2 top 100 recruits signed for next year and had a nice class last yearThat's the beauty of college basketball...turnover.
I have a strong feeling most if not all Creighton fans are rooting for NU on Friday... Baylor is a tough draw.
Like they say, be careful for what you wish for.
See this is just weird to me as a fan of basketball. I grew up a fan of the Huskers mostly because my dad is in the Hall of Fame there. It got me a chance to meet some of the coaches, staff, trainers, etc., but after going to Cip's camps a few years, I didn't really like how they played all that much. Like a lot of guys, I'd go to the old coliseum on Saturdays and play with guys like Jerry Fort, Carl McPipe, Brian Banks, then through the years also playing with Greg Downing and Terry Smith, so I knew how good some of those guys were. But again, being around some of the players who I played summer leagues and tournaments with, and watching the program during the season, I also knew I wasn't ever going to be a Moe Iba fan. It's hard to like a program when you don't like what you see on the court, much less sitting on the sideline as head coach. I mean what was there to really like about them during those years? We had instate talent that hardly got a sniff of interest. Chuck Anderson goes to SMU, Derek Sailors goes to New Mexico State, Leo Crawford goes...well, he should have gone somewhere good, but books got in the way. Ron Kellogg goes to Kansas. Kerry Trotter Goes to Margette and Vic Lazaretti goes to Pepperdine. Alex Stivrens goes to Colorado. And who do the Huskers target? Dave McFarland and Mike Martz, and couple of really nice guys, but not remotely what most considered stud ballers. It's hard to want your instate hotshot to go there when they didn't really care if they got them or not.
During many of those years you had Rick Apke making Creighton entertaining as heck to watch, and they had records to be proud of. Same with Baroni and Altman. If you like basketball, I mean really enjoy it and are a fan of the game, it's hard not to appreciate what the Jays were doing more than what the Huskers were. Heck, my dad was still writing checks to Nebraska, but we'd slip up to Omaha to watch Creighton almost as often as we'd see a Husker game. It was simply better basketball.
I've been a fan of both programs for years, and as long as they put good products on the floor (not like Reed's), I'll continue to support and be a fan of both. I loved Kearney basketball for most of my life, but the current coach (not Kropp) was an idiot in how he was trying to build a team so I personally didn't spend much time following them. Apparently they are changing some of their mistakes, so I'm back to keeping track of them. Why? Because I'm a fan of the sport first, and a fan of the program second. If you are a fan of a program first, then I'd suggest you don't question how someone can like another program as well, because it's because they are usually fans of the sport.
