The Foster Watson combination is the second best 1 2 combination in the backcourt behind Brunson and Heart.

Is Hart actually a guard, though? I see him as more of a forward. Anyways, I think a lot of you are underestimating how good Foster is. Not sure how many of you have actually seen Foster play, besides us Creighton fans.

I'd say Novas starting lineup is Brunson, Heart, Bridges, Jenkins, Reynolds/Spellman. Either way he'd be the 2. I agree that most people are underestimating Foster the kid can ball and paired up with Watson makes it much easier with less attention on him when all the defensive attention was on him at K-State. I also think people are underestimating Watson, he did a lot with not much talent around him. If we aren't considering Heart a 2 Creighton has the best back court in the Big East.

You don't think Booth will start? I say he does, and that would bump Hart to the "3." In Creighton's system, the 2 and 3 are interchangeable. CU's lineup will likely be Watson, Foster, Thomas/Zierden, Huff, Hanson.

Well Creighton surprised a lot of us here. I actually had them coming in 5th this year. BTW the poll method was a little hard, to go back and research, if anyone wants to keep that in mind?

lol, seriously tho, Brunson Booth for sure already have the crown and are very deserving, and yes Whitehead/Carrington and Sumner and whoever he's playing with are up there next...

yes, nobody has seen Marcus/Mo in action yet...

But... just a glimpse of one of the many Youtubes for Marcus, who's been working daily at Creighton's new Championship Center in Omaha the past year and has improved all areas of his game while adding weight and reducing his body fat from 15 to 9 percent.... and y'all are already familiar with Watson.

Creighton did surprise. But lets not forget, they still finished 6th and missed the tourney.

Id have them 3/4 range but definitely a great back court. Seton Hall is looking solid for next year... A little more solid if Whitehead comes back
