Creighton first time ever into the elite eight!

[#12in21]

Ran their motion offense beautifully for a good portion of the game. 29 point third gave them enough to survive a dropoff in the 4th. Iowa State fought back to within 3 but Creighton hangs on and gets the win by 8 Congrats for a good win!

The BE is now 6-2 in the Big Dance...How 'bout the BE?!!!

Great game. It is too bad the Big East sucks...oh wait...

 

[MSGRET]

My brackets are all shot to s!!!. If UConn wins tomorrow, the BE will have a quarter of the slots left in the tournament.

Great game by Creighton! And in the process kills the dual championship possibility for the last college standing!

Maly had a killer game - she has a nice shot.

 

[Aluminny69]

Clutch free throws at the end!

 

[Zarathustra]

Bad Ass award to Morgan Maly. Let's see Creighton take
down South Carolina!! Message from the BIG EAST: S"ee you on Sunday, SEC!"
Go Big East!

Kudos to Creighton. South Carolina is a formidable opponent but they would be wise to not underestimate this team. Match-up wise, I think this is going to be the strongest test that they will face until the championship game should they reach it. This team has threats everywhere, switches on everything and is going to clog the paint.

Boston is going to be a tough match-up but this team has what it takes to scare SC.

Really poor defensive effort by Iowa State tonight; looked like they'd played six days in a row. Once again, way too much dribbling on the offensive end. They've got a handful of great shooters but they run no screens to get them shots. Creighton looked like the 3 seed confidence-wise. Congrats to the Blue Jays.

Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go Big East!!!!!!!

Really hoping for some 2013 Louisville-Baylor magic for Creighton on Sunday night

 

[MilfordHusky]

Creighton has at least 3 really good sophomores. They will be tough next year.

Hopefully, they can bomb South Carolina on Sunday!

Iowa State was pathetic both offensively and defensively. There was also a period of time in the fourth quarter of about five minutes when Joens never touched the ball. Creighton had a perfect game plan and executed it to perfection, but South Carolina actually plays defense and Creighton has no one who can even slow up Boston.

I tuned into the game at the start of the 2nd half...man that was some gorgeous ball movement by Creighton in the third. Their screening to get open 3s is phenomenal, and they did a great job baiting Iowa St defenders to close out and blowing right by them off the dribble. Granted, Iowa State's defense was awful but Creighton was brilliant. SC is a different animal to face than Iowa/Iowa State but looking forward to watching this group play again.

Put that in your Big East criticizing pipe and smoke it!

 

[eebmg]

How do they do it?? Alot of "slow but at least she is short" players.

[jabstep]

We should have had 6 teams at the dance!!!!

Well, so much for keeping the Big East a secret anymore from the rest of the P5 conferences.
