Creighton Post Game Thread

McNeeley is as good as advertised or better than advertised, he's our best player. Solo made a massive jump, Jaylin made a big jump, Samson contributes more offensively and protects the rim more than he did in the past.

Would that Samson could retrieve more than 3 Rebounds in a game...he just cannot seem to figure out how to position himself to be a better rebounder.

Except that I posted after the Georgetown game most recently, but why let facts get in the way. But not Villanova other than a couple of likes. Sometimes that’s what I do. I don’t really keep track other than that on when I post. Thanks for doing it for me. Good I have such loyal followers. But next time be a little more accurate, will you? You probably lost track when Hurley stopped short and you hurt your nose. Is that it?

Either you're an unconvincing troll or you are the most miserable person who ever lived. Congrats on posting after a victory! Baby steps.

Next up for you is learning how to celebrate championships. You went completely silent after the last two! Hurrah

You can’t call them “intentional” fouls. They were, but that word implies harm, and they didn’t meet that. It was just good coaching.

It was coaching malpractice to foul Ashworth. Couldn’t they take a charge from him in that play? They had to know who was going to get the ball.

The first time Diarra reached - we weren’t fouling on purpose. The second time they tried to trap him and get the ball out of hands but we had to cave eventually and preserve clock. Even if he made both, we still had a chance to tie with a 3, but we needed some clock to work with, especially since they had a few fouls to give.

Ashworth is a bit small and shifty and tough to stay in front of. We could have done a better job trying - he broke open cleanly because someone (Hass maybe) leaned the wrong way trying to deny him. Once he had the ball, we only had a few seconds to try to force it out of his hands. Maybe it would have been worth 2 guys on him and nobody on the inbounds passer, but then you are basically giving up on the chance at a deflection.

I may ask for the moon. But he could be a game changer for us if he can shoot that 12-15 footer at free throw area. It's there all the time and he can do it.

It killed our flow that Creighton knew he wouldn’t take that shot…at least line up like you are going to and then a passing lane may free up
