Georgetown, Villanova, Marquette, Butler- all with at least 1 final 4 in the last 6 years
Xavier- 2 elite 8's in the last 10 years
I don't think when we here in the Big East talk postseason- we talk much about the NIT, CIT, or CBI.

Since Creighton's current coach was not successful at his previous stop, I am curious to see how successful Creighton will be sans Doug McDermott.

If Doug is as great as we all think he is, one would think that these teams would have risen above the Jays teams from years past. Instead its a steady stream of nice regular seasons and quiet postseasons.

Long time lurker, but had to respond to this. Creighton has won 57 games the past two seasons in the MVC and the best seed they could get was an 8/9. You know what that means and indeed that is how it played out: a win in the 1st round and a matchup with a 1 seed in the next round. We drew UNC/Duke in each of the last two years after wins against Alabama and Cincinnati.
It's hard to have any success in the tournament when you're winning nearly 30 games and conference championships and yet you can't do any better than an 8/9. This has always been the case for Creighton in the tournament as a member of the MVC.
