I will cover it later, but UConn needs quality conference wins to give it a little cushion to get a 1 seed. If Creighton pulls off the miracle comeback, they could still be a Quad 1 win.

I assume UConn is going to lose 2 or 3 games this season because predicting an undefeated season is crazy.
 
This has to be the worst two minutes of basketball a team has played to close a game in a really long time
 
What on earth is BYU doing? 6 turnovers in the last two minutes. Can't inbound it. Can't get it across half court.

Scheierman has a bad habit of beating his guy off the dribble and then stopping.
 
Yoooo. Creighton needs to win this at this point. Like C'mon. Get the big east to 7-1 tonight plz!
 
I wouldn't change a thing if I was Creighton. Press BYU. They need to speed BYU up because BYU is killing Creighton on the boards and if I was BYU, I would make a kamikaze drive at the hoop to just get the ball on the rim and then get the rebound.

BYU takes down Creighton 83-80.

…so is speculating what seed we’ll be based on a mid-December loss by Creighton. The sky isn’t falling. There are a million things that will transpire between now and selection Sunday. Just keep winning baby, we’ll be fine.

Why did Alexander kick that drive out? When was the last 3 that Creighton hit? The team was wound way too tight at the end of the game to hit a 3.

Alexander should have put something up and needed everyone on Creighton crashing the boards.

That is Creighton's season. Absolutely catastrophic loss for the Blue Jays.

There actually isn't. We know the remaining strength of schedule for the conference season with a few tweaks, and it will be locked in a week from now. Every game a Big East team wins means another Big East team loses.

The number of bids for every conference is predictable within a 1 or 2 bid margin. The number of ranked teams is somewhat less predictable, but not impossible to predict.
 
still don't see cretin falling to below 30 at season's end, so they'd still be Q1 at home, no?

Certainly a rougher start than anticipated, and this is a bad loss, likely knocking them out of the Top 25 but it's a long season and there are a LOT of games left.
 
Geez Creighton. They are gunna be unranked in a minute. If this keeps up they are gunna need a win against us to get an at-large bid.

Creighton is 6-4 with two losses to teams outside the top 75 on KenPom. Arkansas is a good win, and Texas Tech is OK, but quality losses only carry a team so far. Creighton was 33 in NET through Friday. BYU is a bad loss, and will drop Creighton quite a bit.

Creighton won't even get votes in next week's polls, and will need to go on a major win streak to get any votes in the future.

BYU and Nebraska were bad losses. The bigger problem is what those losses say about Creighton. There aren't a lot of Top 25 teams picking up multiple losses like those. ASU is an absolute MUST WIN for Creighton.

The end of Creighton BYU was maybe the worst basketball I've seen at the D1 level to close out a game. I don't think I'm even exaggerating. It truly felt like who wanted to lose more.

Creighton is in big trouble with Kaluma on the bench with 4 fouls and no Kalkbrenner tonight. Creighton doesn't have enough weapons.

Anyone know the name of the analyst sitting next to Donnie Marshall on the ABC half time and post game shows?
He said, with conviction, that Creighton has a deep team.....must never see them play or look at stats on minutes played.

Some people will never learn that the seed isn't as important as how the team is playing.
I submit UConn 2011 and 2014 as Exhibits 1 and 2.

Made me a laugh, especially with Kalk out.

Dozens of people here know much more than the folks getting paid, which is something to remember when I'm disliking various aspects of many posts and posters. Nothing wrong with pausing and appreciating what we have here.

Deep? They don't have a player off the bench averaging more that 5 points per game.
 
I was rooting for Creighton but after it spit the bit I was able to smile because it's Creighton. Heck with them and their coach.
