The Creighton men's basketball team cracked the Associated Press Top 25 and rose in the USA Today Coaches Poll after an impressive 90-66 win over Georgetown Saturday.

The Jays are now ranked No. 25 in the AP Poll, marking the first time since Dec. 25 that Creighton was featured in the poll.  Creighton also rose to a season-best 22nd ranking in the Coaches Poll. 

Creighton joins three other BIG EAST schools in the Top 25, including No. 1 Villanova, No. 10 Xavier and No. 13 Seton Hall.
