Creighton seems genuinely honored to have the chance to play Kentucky, the winningest program in college basketball.
So we’ll assume it was inadvertent that Creighton’s media notes for Monday’s NIT game includes two bits of potential bulletin board material.
In the section for schedule and results, Creighton included a home game against Notre Dame on March 25 (tipoff time to be announced). Of course, the winner of the Kentucky-Creighton game will play Notre Dame in the NIT quarter-finals. That game could be at Notre Dame if Kentucky beats Creighton.
And in the notes assigned to each probable starter, Creighton had plenty of choices of UK big man Patrick Patterson: All-SEC selection. All-American candidate. Four straight double-doubles. Fifteen double-doubles this season.
Creighton chose: “HS teammate of O.J. Mayo.”

It’s exciting to be playing Creighton. It would be great for UK to put them on the schedule. UK needs to think about putting more ranked teams on the schedule and not loading it up with cupcakes. A 23-10 season with losses to ranked teams looks better than 23-12 with a schedule loaded with cupcakes. The fan interest will slowly dissipate over time if Kentucky insists on going ahead and making the schedule easier in preparation for the SEC. I don’t see how D11, or teams put on the list as a win accomplishes anything. A 23-10 season with an easy schedule is not as good as 21-12, just ask the fans or the NCAA committee.
we’re going to be OK, right? How in the world would we be worried about a team of this caliber. Ole Billy G. will work some of his magic and we’ll be in South Bend. Right?
