Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 4465484, member: 1329"] Creighton is still young and soft and can't shoot. Yesterday they started 1 freshman, 3 sophs, and a senior transfer who is new to the program. Against BYU, somehow their large young center King played 18 minutes and didn't get a single rebound. They're just not strong enough in any one area to dictate the game, especially without Kalkbrenner, so the game ends up becoming whatever the opponent wants it to be. Nebraska has big guards that play solid D and don't let you penetrate, well Creighton'll take 40 3s then. BYU wants to muck up the game and hit the boards, well I guess go ahead and grab 16 o-boards. Arizona St has an incredible 2-point D with a shotblocker and long athletic wings, let's try to drive and score (and have Nembhard/Alexander/Kaluma go 1/16 inside the arc) and only take 27 3s despite being hot from deep. Alexander is too passive (and can't finish in the paint). Kaluma doesn't have the skill generally to take over (but broke out with his 3pt shooting last 2 games). Nembhard is overrated but they let him dictate everything. They brought in a transfer shooter to play off the bench but he can't shoot (Farabello is the anti-Calcaterria). Mason Miller can't play defense I guess? His on/off splits are bad. Shereef Mitchell had his career derailed by injuries. Scheierman is good, so teams put their best defender on him and settle for him shooting from 30 feet. [/QUOTE]
