Free throws all being made. A great win for everyone.

 

[gregbodkin]

Getting kudos from the announcers. We're going to be trouble in the BET!

 

[paultzman]

Holding CU under 70 not easy. The road is a different animal, except for us beating Butler to sneak in Dance

What a tremendous performance by Jenkins, give the man his due.

 

[MugCostanza]

I've said a few times Creighton is actually a decent scheme matchup for us based on the fact our defense is set up to run teams of the 3 point line and their defense is designed to allow teams to shoot from the midrange. Even with that this was the most complete game against any team aside from the Villanova games.

Dingle's best game as a Johnny by far. Jenkins has been great all year and today may have been his best game too. Sim looked more comfortable out there and hit some huge shots. Imagine how good we'd be if the backcourt played this well with just a little bit of consistency.

Taylor with 4 pts, 10 rebs, 6 assists. Wow.

Solid game from Ledlum.

Wasn't a huge box score game for Soriano but he held his own against Kalkbrenner.

Unfortunately this team dug too deep a hole to dig out of in regards to the NCAA Tournament but good to get some good press on our side once again

Wear the white suit to Butler Rick

 

[gregbodkin]

All I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[monte]

We played disciplined and hard for 40 minutes, and came away with a great win! Goes to show what we're capable of when we operate on all cylinders.

 

[ZanMan]

Besides enjoying a BIG win, I will enjoy not hearing the whining and crying from the anti-Pitino crowd how he needs to go and how the game has passed him by. In Pitino We Trust!

 

[RedStormRising]

The only stat we need 2 for 8 for deep. Block out the insane calls to shoot more threes. Play your game. Win!

 

[Larry Wright]

At least easy now
Have to beat Butler and win game in BET and think we get in. (Assuming the Gtown and DePaul game which is being ST John’s…..)

 

[logen]

Can’t change what might have been, but a very faint light still on if they can play each and every remaining game this way.

 

[Silly Donovan]

Yeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssss

 

[SJUWillRockNYC]

Wow, finally held a halftime lead. Thank God.

Dingle had s good 2nd half.

 

[barbs20]

Don't know I'm happier about us winning or us not blowing a halftime lead.

 

[Boo Harvey]

Such an enjoyable win. So happy for these kids. They showed incredible character and deserve all the respect in the world.

I am not sure anyone said he needs to go, criticism has been mostly valid IMO.

 

[Silly Donovan]

Will Marallac concede Jenkins great game?

 

[monte]

Rick please please please tighten up the rotation!! No more Zuby/Traore combos, keep Luis's butt nailed to the bench until he buys in or until his shin splints heal(and he buys in), use Dunlap and Conway only situationally, etc etc.
