Creighton Post Game Thread

The problem lies between his ears.

Bro it lies in his offensive ability.

 

[HuskyFich]

Any stats sites out there that I can easily see blocked shots per game when we were winning early until roughly Georgetown game one when we started going downhill. I feel like this team lost its identity on defense (which is still decent) and its offense all at once. Sanogo is getting too comfortable from the arc which isn’t what should be happening.

Sanogo was OUTSTANDING today.

Our D was excellent today and Sanogo was fantastic.

I’ll say it again, for the 100th time this season. Continuing to let Jackson take this many shots is almost guaranteeing a loss. Doomed us against X, doomed us today. Um, there’s a reason they are leaving you this open!!!

And Danny just keeps letting it happen, game in and game out. What an AWFUL coaching exhibition.

You looking in the wrong place. Dre was 3-11, Hawkins was 4-13. Alleyne was much worse on both ends.

But we still cannot win a close game. Danny has to figure it out.

Can't play 1 in 4 out with AJ on the floor. He is net minus for spreading the floor.

 

[lavuuk153]

The coaching staff has failed Andre. For him to have no ability to score with how hard he works is crazy. What have they worked on with him for the past 2 to 3 summers?

Teams sag off of Jackson more than Sanogo. This is a Jackson issue.

Bro it lies in his offensive ability.

Whet offensive ability???

 

[BigFanCT]

The only identity this team has are the multiple identities Hurley has talking to him in his head when the game gets tight.


Good movie too - Identity. Anyone remember that one? John Cusack.

 

[HuskyFich]

Bro it lies in his offensive ability.

His hesitancy kills his ability.

 

[UCan3]

And Newton a no show today after the triple double.

We needed Newton to show up today, with Jackson not an offensive threat, we were playing essentially 3 on 5.

And the guys need to learn how to properly set screens. Watching Creighton would be a good start.

 

[Hunt for 7]

I feel bad for AJ. I don’t remember him hurting us this much last year. I just think he is our best option right now. And you cannot put him and Diara on the floor together. Hurley should have gotten AJ out of the game for Alleyne sooner. They are playing four against five on offense with AJ on the floor and although Diara hit one big shot it was not pretty.

 

[Huskyforlife]

I love Andre, but the people who want him to shoot every time he’s open don’t know ball.

 

[karstenkibbe]

Jackson’s issues were literally in a 3.5 minute span. His Defense and rebounding kept him on the floor.

Sacrificing offense is undoable in the last 5 minutes of close games. Problem was Alleyne was not giving us anything on offense either, though his a threat the D has to respect.

Tough game, played well overall, especially on D.
Newton was absent today, and we felt it.

3.5 minute span? You were clearly watching a different game than everyone else on this board.

Yea, I know AJ’s issues were magnified in the end but TN being a no show was brutal.

Hurley was not the problem today

^ He orchestrated this mess.

I’m not mad at him for shooting shots

He has to stop making open shots so difficult. He shoots stand still floaters rather than taking a mid range jumper or chooses to post a guy up and shoot A running hook when he can shoot a pull up

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

The problem lies between his ears.

Because he doesn’t have not one single way to score as a junior… he can’t make a layup, he doesn’t even shoot midrange jumpers it’s a push shot instead, and the only thing he’s focused on is 3 point shooting which is honestly just stupid. Once he went on a very expected 3 point shooting slump of course it’s going to affect everything else.

 

[RJScootin]

Hurley killing this team playing 4 on 5 with Jackson.

 

[BiggieSmall]

Hurley was not the problem today

Wow what game you watching?? Playing Jackson so much and letting him take 11 shots that’s killed us. His “lock down” D was bad as well. Hurley sits him we most likely win. Thats fax.

 

[uc1990]

Jackson had a really bad offensive game. But our under 4 minutes play is really bad all around. Scary for any close game.

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

We didn’t crack 30 points either half? Seriously ?

 

[Fishy]

This team will lose these tough road games about nine times out of ten. At some point, we need to start winning them and that day isn’t coming this year.

Just not good at winning…Hawkins disappears, Jackson has no idea what he can do and can’t do and the bench guys are marginal.

Whine all you want - this is what they are.

 

[UofCT]

Hurley's blind spot for Jackson is going to lead to another first round exit.

I disagree. I think Hurley is already starting to deduct his mins. He just can’t play after the U8. There is a reason why Ben Simmons never sees the 4th QTR

Let?

That’s the problem. He should’ve taken more! Or at least, even, but it’s so much in his head right now he’s not taking the RIGHT shots.

 

[Hi-Low]

Hurley was not the problem today

He played Ajax too much when he he didn't have and had better options
