1. These are the gentlemen of the Creighton Bluejays, and they're about to become your favorite team in all of March Madness.
2. What’s that? You’ve already got a favorite team? Think again.
3. Does your favorite team feature a 3-point shooter like Ethan Wragge, who is shooting an absurd 49% from 3 this year ALL WHILE MAINTAINING THIS BEARD?
4. Look at him. Look at him effortlessly holding that chainsaw. Are you telling me your favorite team is as good as a team that stars a genuine lumberjack?
5. And that beard! One day, there will be halls of fame devoted to that beard, and psalms that will sing its praises, and no, your favorite team has never seen anything quite like it.
6. And when it comes to offense, there isn't a team in the land better than Creighton.
7. Want some numbers? They're No. 1 in offensive efficiency, per KenPom.com. No. 1 in effective field goal percentage. No. 1 in 3-point shooting percentage.
(They're No. 9 in 2-point shooting percentage, probably to remind America that they're only human.)
8. When they dunk the basketball, it LITERALLY catches fire. Is your favorite team filled with fire-dunking sorcerers?
9. Now feast your eyes on this man for a moment. His name is Doug McDermott. He might be the best college basketball player in America.
10. Oh, does the best player on your favorite team average 26 points a night and shoot 44% from deep?
11. Do you know what Creighton did to Villanova? They took a top 10 team and made them look like a JV squad.

Villanova's only lost three times this year: once to Syracuse, and twice to Creighton. In those two games, Creighton shot a combined 30-50 from 3 and scored 197 points. Which is good.
12. So ask yourself: Why wouldn't you root for this team, again?
13. Wouldn't you want to root for a team that's got experience?
14. Wouldn't you want to root for a team that features a Disney movie-ready father-son storyline?
15. Wouldn't you want to root for a team where even the managers have skills?
16. Let's face it: These guys are a real-life game of NBA Jam. They know it. This awesome Creighton fan knows it.
17. Get on board, America. This is your new favorite team.
