The Creighton men's basketball team held its annual media day on Thursday. The Jays posed for a team picture and answered hundreds of questions on campus. 

CU is picked to finish 5th in the BIG EAST Conference this year after ending up in a tie for 3rd last year. 

"You always want to finish higher and I think we're one of the few teams in the Big East that's at least finished where we're suppose to be or higher each of the four years," said head coach Greg McDermott. "Our league is so good."

"To be right outside of those guys, we're right where we need to be," said senior guard Marcus Foster. "But once conference play starts, we're going to surprise a lot of teams and creep up into that top three."

"The last two years we've been kind of low as well and kind of proved ourself in the rankings," said junior guard Khyri Thomas. "So I mean that's just something we're going to have to do."
