The 3 point shooting was the key to the game. Creighton, who can light it up from 3, was spectacular and UConn was dismal. Creighton denied Spencer any open looks. Credit them for a well executed gameplan. Karaban is a bit of an anaomly right now. He looks a little slow, has not really shot it well recently except for the Georgetown game, and seems to get lost at times in the offense. He needs to move and cut more and not be as stationary. Again, not worried but something to watch for over the next few games. They need to get him going. Tonight is how UConn can lose in the tournament--early foul trouble for Clingan, a red shot shooting team that plays an A-game offensively, and a UConn team who takes some ill-advised shots after falling behind. This was the kind of game last year where UConn throws it into Adama and gets some easy baskets to quell Creighton's onslaught. Could not do that tonight and struggled for offense once Clingan sat dow. Still, beating UConn in the Tournament is easier said than done, especially if UConn is in the East, as they will essentially be playing home games with a very pro-UConn crowd. I expect them to play very well Saturday night.
