McDermott says Creighton can be mid-major power
Greg McDermott says everything is in place for Creighton to play for a Missouri Valley Conference championship right away, get back to the NCAA tournament and become a mid-major power.
McDermott was introduced Tuesday as the Bluejays' new head coach. He replaces longtime coach Dana Altman, who took over at Oregon on Monday.
McDermott, who coached at Iowa State the past four seasons, said Creighton is a "retooling job, not a rebuilding job."
He said he aspires to duplicate the success of mid-major Butler, which lost to Duke in the NCAA tournament championship game earlier this month.
