ST. THOMAS, U.S. Virgin Islands -- The season isn't even two weeks old, but the madness has already started. From Creighton pulling off a massive upset Tuesday night to some Power Five teams needing late pushes to win, there has been no shortage of drama, and it all comes together at the University of Virgin Islands this weekend for the annual Paradise Jam. What's the skinny on each team participating? FloHoops has you covered.

No. 22 CREIGHTON BLUEJAYS

Head Coach: Greg McDermott
Record: 2-0
Leading Scorer(s): Marcus Foster, Khryi Thomas, Maurice Watson Jr. (17 ppg.)
HOW TO WATCH CREIGHTON

Fresh off an impressive 79-67 win over No. 9 Wisconsin at home, there's no doubt Creighton heads into the Paradise Jam as the hottest team. Point guard Maurice Watson is the floor general who runs the show, but Kansas State transfer and bucket-getter Marcus Foster as well as Khyri Thomas help make this a dangerous backcourt to thrive in this tournament and beyond.

LOYOLA-CHICAGO RAMBLERS

Head Coach: Porter Moser
Record: 3-0
Leading Scorer: Milton Doyle (16.6 ppg.)
HOW TO WATCH LOYOLA-CHICAGO

It has been a cakewalk for the Ramblers so far this season with comfortable wins by 25, 49, and 38 points. Those were all at home. This weekend's neutral site and playing better competition, including Saint Joseph's in the opening round, will be a much better test for Loyola-Chicago forward Milton Doyle, Iowa State transfer Clayton Custer, and company.

NORTH CAROLINA STATE WOLFPACK

Head Coach: Mark Gottfried
Record: 2-0
Leading Scorer(s): Terry Henderson, Ted Kapita, Maverick Rowan (17 ppg.)
HOW TO WATCH THE WOLFPACK

An early scare from Georgia Southern this past week was probably not the start N.C. State was looking for this season. But the Wolfpack are as talented and balanced as any team at the Paradise Jam. With six players averaging over 11 points per game, there's no doubt this squad can score, and perhaps the close call helped N.C. State get battle-tested. Abdul-Malik Abu and Dennis Smith haven't even hit their strides yet, which only adds to the intrigue.

ORAL ROBERTS GOLDEN EAGLES

Head Coach: Scott Sutton
Record: 1-1
Leading Scorer: Jalen Bradley (15 ppg.)
HOW TO WATCH ORAL ROBERTS

There's no shame in getting beat by Baylor on the road. After all, the Bears just upset No. 4 Oregon earlier this week. And while it hasn't been a great start offensively in the opening two contests, there are some pieces to have a nice showing throughout the tournament.

OLE MISS REBELS

Head Coach: Andy Kennedy
Record: 2-0
Leading Scorer: Deandre Burnett (17.5 ppg.)
HOW TO WATCH OLE MISS

The good news is the Rebels can certainly put up points at a good clip. The bad news is they haven't been under great control at all, committing 40 turnovers total in the first two games and had to be gritty to escape UMass. Miami (FL) transfer Deandre Burnett is great at attacking and getting to the line, while others such as Sebastian Saiz have a bigger role this season. If Ole Miss takes care of the ball, it can be very fun to watch.

MONTANA GRIZZLIES

Head Coach: Travis DeCuire
Record: 0-2
Leading Scorer: Rorie Ahmadd (15.5 ppg)
HOW TO WATCH MONTANA

It's been a rough start for Montana as it enters the Paradise Jam as the only winless team. Losing at USC is one thing, but dropping a nail-biter to Wyoming 73-72 at home is tough to get any early-season momentum.

SAINT JOSEPH'S HAWKS

Head Coach: Phil Martelli
Record: 2-0
Leading Scorer: Shavar Newkirk (22.5 ppg.)
HOW TO WATCH SAINT JOSEPH'S

After blowing out Columbia, the Hawks inched out Toledo at home just before the tournament. The close games seem to be a common thread here. However, Shaver Newirk, although not the biggest player, is tough and can help push Saint Joseph's over the hump when needed.

WASHINGTON STATE COUGARS

Head Coach: Ernie Kent
Record: 2-0
Leading Scorer: Josh Hawkinson (17.0 ppg.)
HOW TO WATCH WSU

Having to come back from a six-point halftime deficit against a feisty directional school in Central Washington probably wasn't the plan, but here are the Cougars, looking to make a statement in the non-conference slate. There's no better chance than the first night in getting nationally ranked Creighton, either, so expect a large crowd to help boost Josh Hawkinson and company.
