The moment Pitino was hired, we were no longer deemed lowly.

Yes, but that's only on paper. As you well know, "they don't play the games on paper".

49-45 Creighton at half over Butler w Posh out. Both teams shooting lights out w Creighton at 61%

Butler made 8 3’s in the first half. Tough to think they can replicate that.

Turnstile D in Butler v Creighton game, late Butler by 1, but waiting for zebras to help out Creighton

 

[SJUWillRockNYC]

Refs going to help Creighton win?

 

[gcjohnny]

Damn turned this butler game by accident. Pretty wild at end. I assume we want creighton to win.

 

[MugCostanza]

Both Creighton and Butler playing very poorly down the stretch. Uncharacteristic for two well coached teams

McD seemed to coach his guys to poke Bulter's best FT shooter in the eye.

 

[espken]

Both teams treating the ball like a ticking time bomb in the final minute.

 

[paultzman]

Butler shot 55% beats Creighton in Omaha 99-98. A sub shot fouls after not playing all game and nailed two FTs

 

[Mullins Revenge]

Butler much better w/o posh.

 

[Delaware]

Huge win for Butler on the road. Certainly doesn't help us.

 

[RedStormRising]

Bulter, without Posh, with the worst end game coaching strategy since the Lions vs Niners still pulls it out. Good win for them on the back of a hell of a game from Jahmyl Telfort. Bummer for us, but still a fun to watch.

It does help us if we can sweep them.

Wrong again.

 

[Delaware]

I watch all these teams, and they seem to have multiple players that can create, and make, their own shots, something that we just don't have.

 

[paultzman]

Yup

See Creighton had 3 starters play 40 minutes last night and a fourth play 38. Pretty hard to be fresh in a close game down the stretch in that scenario.
