Tough to win when you don't defend well. Tough to win when the other team is red hot. Impossible to win when both happen. This loss sucks more because we had the chance to break another record (big east win streak) and guarantee regular season big east championship.

None of our remaining games are layups
 
Can’t do much when a team shoots like that from 3. Spencer perimeter defense and our interior D without Clingan were brutal. If we lose in the NCAAs I think we will see 3 things:
  • Clingan foul trouble
  • Spencer net negative (points given up vs scored)
  • Opposing team 3% greater than 40%

Don’t think we will struggle like that again this year but two of our five toughest Big East games are yet to be played.

Cam and AK gave us nothing on either end. Steph to a lesser extent. Now we know that we aren’t some juggernaut that is matchup proof. Cam has been absolutely incredible all year but was borderline unplayable tonight. I’ll wager a guess that probably won’t happen again.

Hurley has been saying we are arguably the best offensive and defensive team in the country since Clingan is back. Well we were pretty stagnant offensively, plus missed a ton we may usually make, and no one really had any type of good game defensively.

Back to the drawing board.

Positive: thought Castle played well tonight other than when he hit the backboard to the side of the rim on a straight on jumper for the 2nd time this season.

This was his worst game as a Husky, bar none. He played good D on Schiermann for a half. He was not good.

Creighton brought the haymakers early and man oh man did they catch fire.

Expected a tough showing after all momentum, energy and effort poured into Marquette…but not this bad.They suffocated us on the three point line, the same thing SH did.

TNew had to pull a Jalen Adams tonight just to keep us actually getting shots up.

In a massive game with Clingan and Kalk, one gets the soft whistle and one gets the quick whistle. Odd choice by the zebras.

Either way, it gives Danny all the fuel we need.

Can’t wait to see us rebound for gameday on Saturday.

They made sure to cover Spencer tight and that did the trick because only Newton scored. Karaban and Castle have been bad the last 2 games and Clingan is his inconsistent self even with scoring 12. Samson gives us almost nothing off the bench. Diarra played good d but awful offense turning the ball over. We were out hustled all game. No excuse for that. We need to forget this game and move on. Karaban needs to get out of this funk or we are in trouble.

Clingan wasn't back for the 43 point first half.
 
One of the few "short comings" of this team is the lack of true road wins. Fortunately, we won't have to go very far come tourney time.
