LOUISVILLE, Ky. — San Diego State and Creighton were both in the Maui Invitational last November. They decided to share a charter flight there and back.
SDSU coach Brian Dutcher and Creighton's Greg McDermott sat across the aisle from one another, watching film on their laptops, chatting about their teams, offering advice about their opponents, musing about maybe meeting in the championship game.
"And then," McDermott said, "we would be OK with one of us winning and one of us losing."
