04/26/2010 - Omaha, NE (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Creighton University hired Greg McDermott as its new men's head basketball coach on Monday.

McDermott, who will be officially introduced at a Tuesday morning press conference, takes over for Dana Altman, who was named men's hoops coach at Oregon earlier Monday.

The 45-year-old spent four seasons as head coach of the Cyclones, going 15-17 a year ago with a 4-12 record in the Big 12, and was 59-68 overall since arriving in Ames in 2006.

McDermott will be returning to the Missouri Valley Conference, as he had been at the helm of Northern Iowa's program from 2001 until 2006. While there, he piloted the Panthers to a 90-63 record which included a 49-41 mark in the MVC along with three NCAA Tournament berths.

Since breaking into the coaching ranks in 1994-95, McDermott has compiled a 280-195 record at Wayne State (1994-00), North Dakota State (2000-01), Northern Iowa and Iowa State.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country.
