Hey, I'll chime in as a Creighton fan.  You guys need to chill.   I doubt you guys lose at home again.  You'll get Liam back in a couple weeks.  You'll be at least a 4/5 seed and, while I don't think you'll threepeat, you will be a very tough out and it will take a serious contender to do it (e.g., an Auburn or Duke).

Regarding the game, Mac seems to get no credit for his defensive game-planning.  He made Karaban take runners and (for the most part) kept Ball in check.  Made the other guys try to beat us.   With Liam, that calculation gets much harder.   I did think that was a shooting foul on Ashworth. Bad call at a critical time in the game.  But I don't think it necessarily decided the game.  Diara still has to make all three free throws under a lot of pressure.  And if he makes all three, Creighton still has 7.5 seconds to possibly win the game.  Maybe Creighton makes a shot or the refs (hating Hurley as much as they do) give Creighton a "make-up" call. Or the game goes to OT.  Lots of what-ifs.   Anyway, tough, gritty, Big East game.  Looking forward to the rematch in Omaha when you have a healthy roster.
