Game Preview
Creighton is one of the most experienced teams in not only the NCAA Tournament, but Division I as a whole.
The six-man rotation that plays the vast majority of the Bluejays’ minutes is comprised of four seniors, junior Trey Alexander and sophomore Mason Miller — all with prior tournament experience. KenPom.com ranks Creighton the eighth-most experienced lineup in the country based on minutes played.
That means Creighton, the third seed in the Midwest Region, is wise enough not to overlook No. 14 seed Akron in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday.
