Lefty jumper just circled out. Good look. Yukon wouldn’t have gotten a shot off in that situation.

Up 1 and didn't like the way we played at all. Tighten up in all areas too helter skelter.

 

[paultzman]

Creighton offensive attack is text book good, find right guys. They had ton of break away layups too.

 

[gregbodkin]

40-39 at the half. I'll take that. Now turn it on for the second half! We're the better conditioned team, I think.

 

[Mean Gene]

I think we can wear them down in the second half but we have to make them work. No more fast break run outs and no more free runs to basket in the half court.

 

[tnice]

Wow ran the play specifically for Lefty

Same play they ran for Sim at the end of Nova game

 

[SLYFOXX1968]

Lefty shot 1/2 down and out . Tough luck

Ashworth missing only his 4 th free throw all season .

Need Scott back in to cool off Neal .

 

[ptc666]

hard fought first half; would have been nice to get a bucket at the buzzer. have to come out firing in the second half. keep wearing ashworth down. neal will be dealt with when scott checks back in.

 

[paultzman]

I think we wear them down like happened at home this week v NIT bound UConn

Yep. Somehow up though. On a 36-25 run since Creighton took a 14-4 lead, hah.

 

[lawmanfan]

Please stop shooting Ayo

Ssshhh. You'll upset Marillac.

 

[mjmaherjr]

Assworth will miss another FT this half from fatigue

Hey, McDermott is a good Coach. Team is well prepared and plays to its strengths. We keep the pressure on we have a chance to win.

 

[Mullins Revenge]

Lefty never gets the chance to get the blood flowing. Always asked to shoot ice cold off the bench.

Let him play, Rick!!!

 

[redmanwest]

I’ll take the lead. Should okay better. Smith playing great. I guess Rick played some mind games. I’d like to see more of Wilcher Luis Richmond pull ups in lane.

Very tough matchup. Experienced and disciplined enough to withstand our defence...

Believe we ran the same play 20 seconds before the half in Nova. Could be mistaken about the game. But Pitino keeps putting him in 20 seconds left first half and this is the second time they got the look for him. Last time he made it. Almost this time also. Tough role, come off the bench and shoot without breaking a sweat

So at least we know what Pitino meant about Lefty getting some run, bring him in stone cold to fire an end of the half three. Not impressed on either end of the court, obviously anyone’s game but had hoped this team was going to keep getting better. 60 minutes of stagnation at best since the two big wins. Hopefully we see one of their vintage 2nd halves.
