Kur Kuath is one of those most under-heralded transfer pickups in the Big East, but his athleticism, rim-protection and defensive intensity will make him a heck of a pest to play against for the Big East bigs.

By the end of the season, don't be surprised if Kuath battles Whaley as the conference's big defensive big.

Between Kuath, Prosper (who really impressed me with his fluidity) and Morsell (Big 10 DPOY), Marquette is going to be a real scrappy team to play against.

Also interesting how Smart went without a "true" PG: Tyler Kolek and Morsell shared the role of lead guard.

Kuath was blocking everything down the stretch. A great pick up for Marquette.

Fun clip of Ed Cooley finding out that Marquette beat Illinois and the Big East is 2-0 vs the B1G.

Good for us is right! And good for Ed Cooley, I'm a fan now.

Georgetown is hosting American tonight. American isn't as as they have been in recent years, and if Georgetown doesn't win, I could see things getting ugly there pretty quickly.

Marquette was fortunate that Illinois has one of the two worst PGs Ive seen this year - the other belongs to PC
Wisconsin is usually a very hard team to beat on their home court but this Wiscy team is the worse I have seen in ages - it is so young and raw - PC lucked out on that draw

Yeah Curbello is a mess

Nembhard is very fast and on fire from downtown to start. Creighton up 15.

 

[ecasadoSBU]

6 pt lead by Creighton. What appeared like a blowout has turned into a very exciting game

57-51

 

[rollskies]

Creighton up 9 with just over 2 minutes left. FINISH THEM CREIGHTON

 

[ecasadoSBU]

Bluejays up 12. Nasty 3 pt shooting. wow

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Great to see Nebraska’s arena with this energy. I like Hoiberg and will be rooting for them this year against most B10 teams.

Ryan Hawkins: what a D2 grad transfer find for Creighton. 10+ boards in each of his first three games @ Creighton.

When all is said and done, Nembhard will be an all-time Creighton great. So poised for any point guard, let alone a freshman in his first away game.

Hawkins is one of those unathletic shooters that is going to be a pain in our arse

Creighton goes wire to wire for the win, Big East 3-0.

Ryan Nembhard was really impressive, Ryan Hawkins is a really nice player too.

 

[shizzle787]

24-2. Two more big wins. 2 to go.

 

[ecasadoSBU]

I always like this series. Been watching Creighton - Nebraska since 2013. Always good games.

Big East 3-0 now

 

[superjohn]

Lavin says Creighton will be top 5 in Big East and McDermott is in love with Ryan Hawkins and Ryan Nembhard.

 

[ecasadoSBU]

Meanwhile. Those ACC scores looking very nice

UNC down 5 to Charleston
Virginia down 13 to Houston
Notre Dame down 1 to High Point
NC State down 1 to Central Connecticut

Lets hope a couple become upsets.

What we really need is a Big East-ACC Challenge.

What we really need is a Big East-ACC Challenge.

Only if Providence is the one that gets stuck with BC.

Nova only beat Howard by 19. Beating CCSU and Coppin St the way we did is more impressive than we’re giving our guys credit for. Our Defense is going to translate.

Also I haven’t been impressed with Nova YET

 

[AntG168]

I have a feeling SH VS MICH is about to be one of them ones

 

[Dooooooomed]

I think Tulane/ECU averaged more fans than Georgetown has in attendance tonight.

Georgetown hasn't been drawing for a really long time now...

 

[Omaha-Jays]

Blue State.

We brought back the least mins played of any P6 program. Really young, don't know each other that well, but beating the corn is expected anymore.

Turnovers are a problem, our FT shooting stinks and I need to get used to different 3 point shooting than I am used to, but I like the squad. Ryan Nembhard is such an exciting PG.

 

[WestHartHusk]

A Seton Hall win would be huge.
