Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 4224462, member: 534"] [LIST=1] [*]In a weird way, having to play Creighton feels oddly AAC-ish. A school in Nebraska doesn't belong in the Big East. I mean, I remember when the farthest West we went was Syracuse. I can't make myself imagine a natural rivalry with Creighton (1370 miles from Storrs) any more than I could with Houston, Memphis or SMU when we were in the AAC. [*]Inauspicious start. 0 for 3, down 7 zip. [*]Creighton shooting lights out early, while we're shooting as if the lights were out. [*]2 horrendous plays by Adama in a row! What's with a 20 foot brick-like jumper early in the clock at 13:35? Then Alexander drives on RJ, who expects Sanogo to pick him up, and Sanogo never even looked in the direction the ball was going. [*]Sanogo hurts his hand. Off to the locker room. Stitches? Just tape? No idea. [*]Sanogo back in, but now Martin hurts [B]his [/B]hand (5:22) [*]And Hawkins runs into a screen and hurt his head. After last game's mild concussion, I doubt we'll see him for the rest of the night. [*]Wow is Ajax indecisive with the ball and looks totally afraid to shoot a three. [*]I've never seen this team play such crappy defense. [*]And Polley takes a shoulder to the groin. [*]At the half, we are down by 10 points, and by 24 to 15 on the boards, and are shooting embarrassing percentages across the board -- 33/10/50 [*]After a bad start to the 2nd half, we came alive and cut it to 4 at 16:45 [*]Somehow, it's a 1 point game at 15:15 [*]And back to a 5 point deficit a minute and a half later. [*]Gaffney steals an inbound pass and lays it in for a tie at 9:16: [*]And Kalkbrenner immediately beats Sanogo down court for a stuff. [*]Sanogo looking away from the ball and his man a lot tonight. [*]At about 6:30, Sanogo has the ball just inside the FT line, and is double covered. Cole comes down the right side of the lane, totally uncovered, and Adama sort of fakes a pass to him then misses a turnaround. That pass to Cole absolutely needed to be made. [*]Adama got beat to the rim by his man repeatedly tonight. The hard hedge was a very soft hedge tonight, as Sanogo was slow to react and slower yet to recover. [*]Not sure how a guy could have 13 points, 16 boards and six blocks, and still stink the joint up. I guess going 6 for 16 while gift wrapping 22 points for the opposing center has something to do with it. [*]Meanwhile, Whaley had his worst game of the season. 3 points on one of six shooting an 2 boards. Pitiful. [*]After being down by 16 points with 4:04 left in the first half, we tied the game several times in the 2nd half, but never took a lead. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
