Creighton advances! (Merged)

A former Iowa player nails game winning shot. I really enjoy watching Iowa play but was also rooting for Creighton even though they busted my bracket. Iowa has won the attendance record for the tourney so far. Lots of disappointment from those in attendance

Anyone think having to play against Paige twice a year for two years didn't help these young women? The best advertisement for the Big East in a long time.

It's been pointed out that Creighton has only faced Paige twice, and not at all this year. I stand corrected.

As to Iowa and Clark - you live by the sword, you die by it at times. How many times has Geno talked about shots going in or not and having to have 2nd options. Iowa didn’t have enough of those 2nd options, except for Czinano. I’d have made the kid from Crieghton miss that 2nd foul shot at the end to force Iowa to go the length of the court, especially in that they had fouls to give. Go Big East and a big congrats to Creighton.

She still could of called a timeout and got the ball at half court.

Out of curiosity, what is the largest seeding differential where the underdog won the game?

They played a terrific game. I’m happy they won. They exposed one of the weakest 2 seeds I can ever remember.

It appears BOTH teams were seeded inappropriately. Congratulations to Jim Flanagan and his players. They didn't shrink or choke in crunch time. A tip o’ the turban to Creighton.

What did we learn from today?
Closely guard the big scorers...

Tony and olde Dude may be right
If you can spread out your scoring i makes you
more difficult.

How so? I thought the seeds were accurate.

Will edit having to play against UConn at least twice a year
 
Kudos to both coaches. In the first half, Creighton took advantage of Iowa backing off and was on fire early with 3's. Also did a great job doubling Clark and Czinano. 2nd half, Iowa pushed Creighton's offense out 5-10 feet, taking away their 3's, particularly early in the half.
Iowa's coach must have been frustrated since their only offense was from Clark and Czinano and Czinano missed many, many lightly guarded layups. With little height and no bulk, gutty game by Creighton at both ends of the court.

Some random thoughts:
Geno said the BE was better than they were getting credit for. He was right again.
Clark has one bad habit. She initiates contact when driving to the basket. When she doesn't get the fouls called, she tends to not make the basket.
Czinano tends to be less effective as the game goes on, probably a shape issue.
ESPN with their " Times of Silence" with their announcers, is more enjoyable than their yapping.
 
I was unable to find the post conference...if anyone see it could you please post it..thanks
 
Such an exciting game to watch. Creighton was so poised and well coached. Even though close score, they controlled the game. Maintained composure even when shots weren’t dropping. Missed bunnies. 1-10 to close out first half. Great D on Clark. Other observations: didn’t know what a whiner Clark was. Czinano can really position herself and make a layup. Happy but amazed she missed the last bunny. Iowa was outcoached, but their coach classy in defeat. As was creighton’’s in victory. Clark tried to do too much. Should have realized the double teams. Did not make her team around her better.

I was frustrated watching Creighton missing so many layups down the stretch,
but the made the big shot when they needed it. Great win for them and for the
Big East.

Exactly..I wanted them to keep shooting 3's instead of blowing layups

The clock have started on the miss and not stopped until ball secured and timeout granted. But having a 2 point lead was huge if Iowa made the shot still going to OT

OMG. Unbelievable. Especially that hero Lauren Jensen was an Iowa transfer :eek: :eek: :eek:

And Czinano with a critical miss. Pretty Sad. Like Aaliyah Boston last year.
Expand ...
Yeah very similar to Boston's miss last year. Brutal way to go out for her, especially after she had a great game. Glad she'll be back for a 5th year.

You sure of that? I thought the rule was different when calling timeout after a made basket vs. when let’s say called in the backcourt? If so, I stand corrected.

Unlike Diana in 2003 when she led several UConn freshman to the National Championship.
 
What a great game..I root for CC and Iowa every time they play unless it's against Uconn of course but to day I rooted hard for Creighton..go Big East..well coached and the kids really kept their poise with that crowd..pretty physical game too
