Creighton Post Game Thread

Cam is an elite mid range scorer and had a ton of opportunities to pull up with momentum when they were running him off the line but was too hesitant. When we played them at Gampel Cam and Tristen lit them up from mid range and made them adjust. Overall Creighton probably beats 99.9% of teams shooting like that tonight so learn from it and move on. On to Nova.

Yeah there were a lot of times where he got it coming off a screen with Ashworth on his ass where he had a chance to either take it in for a midrange shot or hoist one and try to draw the foul with Ashworth so close. He was just off.
 
From my buddy, "I just saw the first half highlights and the Bombas CEO went full Steph Curry on you guys. You're not going to win that game."

He played 1 game with no fouls. Back to the usual 2 before the 1st media TO. We better learn to play without him sooner than later.
Expand ...
Yeah but he seem to be grimacing in pain especially in the 2nd half. That is concerning.

He's not wrong. Even getting wide open looks, it's not easy for a team to shoot 60% from 3 and keep that up most of the game. Factor in UConn's poor 3 point shooting and you have the anatomy of a loss right there. Just one of those nights. Come back Saturday night and take it to Villanova.

I think its worth taking a step back and realizing we're so good that either:

1. You thought it was disappointing to lose to a top-15 team on the road within our conference, not to mention the third game in seven days, halfway across the country, or

2. You thought it was a good thing to lose because we were winning too much

As Aaron Rodgers once said, "R-E-L-A-X." I'm sure the coaching staff will use this as motivation and hopefully the guys realize it won't always be so easy. Only the third loss of the season. Long way to go, and we still firmly control our destiny in terms of the Big East.
 
UConn laid a big huge egg tonight after the dominating game this past weekend.

I would rather have this happen tonight than next month.

One thing I noticed once again. When Newton carries the team as he did tonight, UConn, at least this year seems to lose. This tells me that others are not doing the job.

Losing the #1 BE regular season title and #1 seed in the BE Tournament has now become a real possibility. I thought we'd win a close game tonight, (although I was very nervous after the amazing win vs Marquette and national adulation that came) and thought our one remaining loss would be at Marquette in a revenge game. Now Marquette could be a loss and we'll need a win at.....gulp.....Providence....to lock up the Big East regular season title and top seed in the BE Tournament. Lots of work left to do....
Expand ...
Omg. We are going to have to win conference games to win the title? Who knew.

Is Marquette going undefeated? They were just smashed by their rival who didn’t make 15 3s in the game

Yeah, the post is what caused the loss. Keep telling yourself that
Expand ...
My man, I don't think your post caused the loss. That would be silly.

It most likely caused you some future BY troubles though.
 
UCTitleTown said:
That could happen in the BE Tournament too. They can shoot. Anything can happen at tourney time.
Expand ...
Anything can, but I doubt they will have another game with that sort of energy to feed off of. This was an everything game for them and their fans tonight.

Yes, Newton kept them in the game, but he was also part of the problem: he was 10-21 and 2-8 from 3 and had 2 TOs.

I hope the kids are tougher than the fans in here because there is a lot of unnecessary doubt taking place.

The amount of teams that can do what Creighton just did with their roster is pretty small. That list gets smaller due to upsets as you go deeper in the tournament and realistically none of the games will be equal to road conference games.

Perfect storm against us and we couldn’t overcome. They are tough and still a real threat to win it all again Nothing changes

It's page 8 already but I'm responding to page 1 where 3-4 folks said they made so many 3s. They were open for most of them- that should be the question, why were they so unguarded? And Samson, stop the high hedge!

we were 3-16 from three.

they were 12 - 24.

They outscored us from the arc 36 to 9. For the math challenged that is 27 points
Expand ...
Worse than that. They were 14-28 for 42 points. So outscored by 33 points from three.

Not gonna win when the other team shoots that well from 3. Easy to move on from this one
Expand ...
Yes, but tend to disagree with this take… most of those threes were open or missed assignments in the first half. That was bad defense as well.

The only one I remember that was contested was the freshmen in the corner…

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.
Expand ...
He showed some courage going at kalkbrenner several times despite that one block. The travel after the 4min was poor timing though.

It happened, now it is time to move on to this weekend's game against Nova and put this loss behind them. The practices will be brutal if you know Hurley and his staff at all.

I expect this will be the talk of the Boneyard this coming week

The worst thing happened to Villanova tonight.

Hope he’s ok. Didn’t seem to say anything when he went to the bench as the announcers noticed.
 
HooperScooper said:
I'm not sure 2 games constitutes a funk. He had 21 and 25 points the 2 games before that. He'll recover. He always does.
Expand ...
Those are against the 2 worst teams. He needs to show up for the big games like last year.
