It is kind of funny how hurleys biggest win of his career had him sitting in the locker room for more than half the game and then we follow it up with this performance.

The cuse game at msg was pretty big at the time if I recall.

More entitlement. Why should we be MUCH better than Creighton? 2 years ago we were a middling AAC team. Eventually in the long run yeah, we should be better than Creighton. Some teams give you more headaches than others for a variety of reasons. Marquette probably feels the same about us this year. That's how sports work sometimes.

Because UConn was picked 2nd in the conference, is the most athletic team in the conference, and is a veteran team. Creighton was picked 8th in the conference, is not very athletic, replaced their whole team outside of Kalkrenner and O'Connell, and they didn't have their Big East freshman of the year point guard.

Marquette was picked 9th in the Big East this year.

Exactly. We beat Auburn who beat Kentucky so we are better than both of them but worse than Arizona St. Yeah, that tracks. So soft after a loss..

We just lost to a tournament team on the road. After knocking off multiple quality teams prior. Yet Hurley sucks. We need some perspective. We’re still a really good, flawed team. The same team we were after Nova. Breathe.

Revenge Tour is Revenge Tour. We got everyone else.

If we're not expecting to beat Creighton on the road without their point guard (freshman of the year in Big East) then there's a bit of a problem. I get that they were playing for their lives to get their tournament bid but that's a team with all new players except for Kalkbrenner and O'Connell. We should all expect to win that game.

And it's not like we played well and lost a hard fought game. We looked like crap. It's a recurring problem.

Nope... ASU is nowhere near as good as UConn, but they were able to beat Creighton, and we were not.... Pretty simple really.... Not supprisingly it went right over your head....

Bingo. Sanogo stood there just over half court and watched the screen develop. I was waiting for him to scream out to Hawk. Nothing. Players call out screens all the time. Gotta do better to protect your teammate.
Expand ...
I thought he was looking away… but it’s happened before so it isn’t just on Sanogo. We just need a better IQ out there.

Who cares who was picked where. These predictions rarely are true to form and even moreso with the transfer portal. That's preseason and then they throw the ball up and start playing games. Providence has a better record than all of them and they weren't picked high. Goes to show you how little they mean so using them as evidence of some kind of failure is flimsy. Athleticism without skill means very little. Our two best players, Cole and Sanogo are not even super athletic.

What does ASU have anything to do with us? Congrats on dropping a random fact in the convo…

This was as bad or worse than anything I've seen this year. It wasn't even creative offense or looks. They just kept goading Sanogo into the switch or hedge and then Kalk would slip to the basket. There was zero adjustment to it all second half.
Expand ...
Spot on assessment. No defensive coaching adjustment by UCONN in the second half had a significant impact on the outcome of the game. Creighton just kept baiting Sanogo when he was hedging outside to give Kalk a clear pathway to the basket or allow Kalk to isolate one-on-one against Adama with no defensive help. Even when Sanogo did hold well defensively against Kalk, no one ever doubled down to tie Kalk up. Other Uconn defenders just watched Sanogo get shot over. And when it came to game-winning time (the last 3 minutes or so), Andre just threw up some long distance shots. He really needs better shooting technique. Sadly, this was a waste of a good comeback on the road after Creighton had an unconscious hot shooting first half. That's two games in a row where Creighton got a long distance 3-point bank shot.

If by recurring problem , you mean lose basketball games, you should see the other 357 teams and their records.

We shot 27% from 3 in a game we lost by 2.
Expand ...
We lost because Creighton curb stomped us in the first 16 minutes of the game and because Kalbrenner curb stomped us in the last 16 minutes of the game.

O-5, not O-2 or 0-3, yes this is a problem.

Dude, you do know we don't play Creighton every game right?. If we don't play them at MSG it's a next year problem. We just won 5 in a row and you're acting like Hurley is the pilot of the Hindenburg.
 
Maddening...Deja deja deja vu...give credit to Creighton for graciously accepting a gift win from us...
1. From 8:10 minute mark left in game to 20 seconds left... 2 for 10 shooting, 1 for 3 free throws
2. Couldn't Hurley find a way for RJ to get a few more shots in the last 8 minutes (1 miss in the time frame above
3. 27.3% 3 pt shooting 40% FT
4. Bench 10 pts vs 14 vs Nova and 30 vs Gtown
5 No time out taken after Polley 3 with 19 seconds left???..Forced Martin to commit 5 th foul

and BTW, don't sleep on Depaul Saturday...they're not your mother's Blue Demons

Don't twist this. We should not be 0-5 against Creighton. You think Hurley is a good coach and I don't think he is that good of a coach. We are not playing them at MSG so it will go into next season. McDermott is a better coach and I don't think it's even close. UConn has better talent than Creighton and I don't think that's even close.

And Sanogo wasn’t picked on the all big east team. Pre season predictions are pointless at this point. Creighton has proven they’re a formidable team
