Creighton Game #2

[no hope]

that was hands fown our best half of ball all year .. lets keep this up for a big win

 

[redmaninalbany]

we are very aggressive tonight but I think there was only foul the refs missed that I saw.
we are holding our own on the boards it seems also.

Gatta keep up the D for 20 to win. Just a little home cooking would help.

Agree. Can't let them get off to the same start they did at the beginning of the game.

Their board is complaining about how physical the refs are letting our guys play. Hah! There is none so blind as he who will not see.

Ha, i saw that. The refs were pretty fair...most of the calls they missed were against st. johns.

Waelcome to the Big East. They should have been around here in the 80's and 90's!!!

Creighton has a variety of weapons even if there is just one star.
They have several outside shooters and the point guard is VERY quick
He was giving Jordan fits which is why Lavin switched to Branch, who was too far off him on the three.
But between this game and the first one you can see they have a variety of ways to score.
We are playing these last few games like a top 20 team but it's frustrating and worrisome for us that we have to bring it home tonight to be in a serious NCAA conversation.
be in a serious NCAA conversation.

Even last year the BE was so much more physical than any other conference. Funny how their board sees nothing wrong with all the hooking being done by MCD.

no way providence.. that is garbage team this is a quality opponent with a big time star we are playing great

 

[redmaninalbany]

Can't be upset at them for complaining.
They aren't used to losing ..causes hallucinations.

 

[MBoutchatski]

I like branch, but hes the king of the worst shot in basketball...aka the long jumpshot just inside the three-point arc. Sampson is guilty too, but at least he has a shot.

Providence smacked creighton at home....we put up 53 against providence in their building. def our best half of the season....

 

[redmaninalbany]

we hit an unusual amount from outside.
we didn't get our usual array of blocks and steals.
second half needs to go to our strengths and it's not outside shooting.

Creighton really knows how to set picks. Lavin should study this game film for future.

Or the obvious charge mcdermott had early in the half that was called a block.

Big possession to start the half...need a bucket to set tone.

 

[MJDinkins]

Nice, smart play by Harrison for the block on McDermott.
