It's funny to hear Steve Lappas criticizing Greg McDermott as if he is half the coach GMc is

Great W for Uconn. McNeeley was magnificent and the Uconn D was better in the second half.

McDermott's great, but really odd strategy at the end with having Neal miss the second FT intentionally.

Liam is possessed… Hurley has to give it to him every possession

McNeelebust 38 points

We don't have a 2 game lead until we beat Nova tomorrow night.

Nice win for UConn and the Johnnies, obviously a different team with McNeely. Fortunately SJU has players that match up well with him because he is a heckuva player.

UConn helps us for the 3rd game in a row.
Johnnies up 2 games in the loss column.

If we lose it's back to a 1 game lead in the loss column.

Diarra zero minutes in the 2nd half tonight. They were able to get away with having McNeeley run point because Creighton applies no ball pressure whatsoever so they didn’t make him uncomfortable at all. Not sure if they’ll be able to get away with that against us or Marquette

5 minutes left in the game zero fouls called against Creighton this half. That’s just a joke.

You didn't know Creighton invented defense.

Jesus Christ wouldn't be able to draw a foul on Kockbrenner.

Danny has the secret to staying young. Being 11 years old forever.

It was laughable when some said that he wasn't any good, after we beat them. He's definitely and deservedly a top 5 draft pick. He had the ball in his hands at the end against us, despite coming off an injury and despite more seasoned players on that team.

I do not remember anyone saying he was not any good. Most were acting like melting snowflakes over the fact UConn had a week to prepare and McNeeley was coming back against SJU.

He is an obvious lottery pick. Great. Only have to deal with him once more, and maybe a second time if the BE tourney falls that way.

Creighton gets an unbelievable home whistle. They haven’t called a foul on them in the second half. There’s 11 minutes left in the game.

Lack of fouls hurt them with the clock at the end.
