The Creighton men's basketball team slid down a couple of spots in the AP Top 25, but remains in the poll for the 16th straight week. The Jays have been ranked in each of the 16 polls this season.

Creighton came out on top over BIG EAST opponent Georgetown Sunday with an 87-70 victory at home, however, the Bluejays suffered an 87-81 loss at Seton Hall earlier in the week. The Jays join fellow BIG EAST teams No. 2 Villanova and No. 22 Butler in the top 25. 

Coming up this week, Creighton faces off against Providence at home Wednesday, then travels to No. 2 Villanova Saturday.
