If you're wondering why Creighton is playing a D2 opponent tomorrow, as a lot of Creighton fans were, here's your answer:

TLDR: Saturday was originally an open day for Creighton, everyone else plays, Big East mandated a game to avoid a big advantage for Creighton over Xavier with more rest/preparation Monday

So thankful that Creighton will be worn down from what is sure to be an epic struggle vs. Truman State.

Huge game for Seton Hall. A loss @ PC puts them in a massive hole with 3 of the next 4 games being against Nova, X, and Butler. Would put themselves in a position of pretty much needing 2 of those 3.

Hey, Coach Mac said we are playing to win that game. ;) They go 6'8, 6'7 and a handful of 6'6 players. But, strange things can happen. It could get kind of sloppy, particularly if the reserves who spend most of their time running the other team's offense and defense get a lot of time. Maybe Mac arranged for Truman State to run X's offense so we get a little more work against it :D Seriously though -- I truly hope no one gets hurt.
