at Creighton, Friday 11/7/25 at 7 pm EST (ESPN+)

Winner takes the Big East Midwest Division. Creighton, however, can also claim the division with a draw. I don't want to think about scenarios that result in a BE Tourney appearance short of a WIN. I have confidence that our Zips can rise to this challenge and prevail. 

 

Go Zips!!!

Creighton started their season with 3 matches on the road.

 

Since starting the season 0-2-2, the Blue Jays are 8-1-2 in their last 11 games.

 

Creighton has not lost a game this year at home.   Their home record is 5-0-2.

 

Over the last 11 games, Creighton has played like a top 20 team.

I checked out Creighton's presser.  They are focused on gaining some revenge tonight.  Weather is great right now; should be no factor for the match.  My wife and I are making the 2 hour drive to Omaha; hope to see a few other Zips there.

You know, I'd feel a lot better if this game was at home 😂 but I'm confident in the team to get it done!

Does this imply that St John's can't qualify on a tiebreaker?

Mitch Budler said in the press conference (after last week's game) that there would be roughly 100 Budler family and friends at the game.

The last time the Budler's attended a game this season in Akron, they mentioned organizing a tailgate at Creighton for Akron fans. Also hoped to get Akron fans seated together to make their presence louder.

 

GO ZIPS!!!

I think it would be best for Akron for Seton Hall to win tonight. They have the best result against the best team, a tie against Georgetown and will have beaten both Providence and Connecticut and the Zips have a tie against them.  So we want Seton Hall to make the tournament over just about anybody else who hasn't qualified yet to try to help our chances.

That's correct, I believe. I had initially thought it would be better for UConn to beat Seton Hall but then TennZip's post helped me realize it would be better for Seton Hall to win. 

 

A win and obviously the Zips are #2 seed.

 

A draw and we'd make it with a Providence loss and a NON-draw between Seton Hall and UConn.

 

A loss and there's still a chance to make it if Seton Hall and Georgetown both win...I think.
