But at least to me, with the way Creighton has proven itself at home and on the road so far, and the uncertainty with Wichita State’s injuries, Creighton has a clear edge. But there’s an argument to be made.

As for Muscala: when I put together All-American lists, I typically exclude players from losing teams. There are exceptions, and perhaps Muscala’s game at Mizzou this weekend qualifies, but under most circumstances, if you lose you don’t make it. Harsh but rule.

To say that there’s no other team on Creighton’s level just isn’t true in my mind. You have to at least give consideration to Wichita State who is 14-1, a near Top 25 team, and a clear challenger for Creighton.

Also, I realize you have only fit so many names onto the Weekend All Americans, but in really surprised Mike Muscala wasn’t included. He filled up the stat sheet in every column and was the best player on the floor in the Bucknell – Missouri game. Totally dominated Alex Oriakhi.
