Creighton coach Greg McDermott is retiring after this season, sources told ESPN.

McDermott's retirement will end a gilded run at Creighton, as McDermott won 365 games in 16 years there. He has a career record of 514-319 over 25 Division I seasons, including the 2023 Elite Eight and 13 overall NCAA tournaments while the head coach at Northern Iowa, Iowa State and Creighton.

Until this season, Creighton had been on one of the best runs in school history. They'd reached five consecutive NCAA tournaments, a number that would have been six as they would have comfortably made the 2020 tournament after winning the
