I think that does it.

Even with the loss, DePaul became men today.
Great game but…

The BE ref is so inconsistent and ruins some good games.

In the tourney Creighton would have lost that game.
But thankfully for them, they play in our conference.

Not sure why Creighton didn’t go into Kalk every single time - he would have scored each time. DePaul got a lead with smoke and mirrors and Blocker, but had no idea how to win a basketball game and close. It’s hard to lose up 11 with two minutes to go. But they managed to sh@t themselves in just about every way possible. Bad teams don’t know how to win.

Terrible approach in double ot. The first two possessions they penetrated but then backed it out. Their best chance to win in 2ot was to get Kalk out fast. Nope. Bad coaching.

So we get the worst possible scenario. 2OT and Creighton still wins. I really hate that I have to go back to the office again. Going to be exhausted tomorrow
This is BEST scenario (as long as we win). We can get a high quality win against a tired Creighton team to boost our seed. Playing DePaul would've added nothing.

Really I think this was best case scenario: We need to jump 3 or 4 teams to get a 7 seed so we need a couple more quality wins. That means Nova>Creighton>SJU and now at least Creighton will be gassed. Beating Depaul wouldn’t have helped our resume at all.

Getting a tired Creighton not a bad thing. Getting a potential easy pass into the final could have been fun too. Any way you cut it beating StJ in the finals is only thing moving needle anyway.

Oh come on it’s not like you ever went to work a bit “tired”

The best thing that could happen to us (after us beating Nova of course) is Creighton coming back against DePaul and winning in 2OT. Creighton would be tired and if we beat them it's another high quality win. Beating DePaul would do nothing for our NCAA Tournament seeding.
Nice call - any idea of the lottery numbers tomorrow?

can’t wait for the games. Long day but worth it for SJU-MU and UConn-Creighton. The four regular season games between these teams were all highly competitive, well played games.

Good matchup of styles also. Probably the best semi finals the Be could hope for this year.
