Creighton post game thread

[HooperScooper]

Might as well start it...

Wow, I'm still in shock they won this one. McNeeley with the monster game. Everyone else pretty much was terrible. Good to know they can win when so many play a bad game. Nice win!

 

[FLDawg16]

I just want whoever said we didn’t win there the last two years there’s no chance this would be the team to do it to raise their hand and take accountability for their stupidity

If you told me UConn played a game with Diarra sitting on the bench most of the game, Karaban was 0-7 from three, Ball was 5-15, 0-4 from three, both bigs sat out much of the game with foul trouble, and we had 4 points from the bench, I would say this was a lopsided blowout by Creighton. But, then there is that freshman McNeeley…….

(I also posted this in the McNeeley thread)

 

[Palatine]

Good game.

 

[Rico444]

Liam is the best freshman we've had in our program since last season.

 

[Dove]

Down 14 with McNeeley taking on Creighton by himself.

And the will of the Huskies, behind a forceful freshman, win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Kemba Time]

We had Liam McNeeley. They didn’t.

 

[navery12]

I thought we were cooked when Karaban missed 3 straight wide open 3's on one possession and then Traudt immediately buried a 3.

On the other hand, I knew Creighton was done when Ashworth missed his 1 FT for the month and then McNeeley buried a 3

 

[I Bleed Blue]

Move over Ned. Liam for governor! Scrappy W by the team

 

[Mets1432]

McNeeley just made himself a whole lot of money tonight. An all-time husky performance.

@ Marquette, v St. John’s, @ Creighton

2-1

Take that and do what you will with it.

The chat and these threads are so vastly different. It’s hilarious. Obviously in game is gonna be different than a post game, but man we should all just love every team individually. The team has a chance.

Thanks for dropping Indiana and choosing UConn, Liam.

Sincerely,

UConn Nation

This is the Liam McNeeley game, not just for UConn fans, but for Creighton fans, too.

 

[Excalibur]

Stop calling this team soft. They’re limited, but they have enormous balls.

 

[Marbles90]

As good as Liam was, man, Creighton was horrible on offense in the 2nd half. How do you not get it to Kalkbrenner when both bigs are on the bench with 4 fouls??

 

[Tdaley]

This is why we love UConn basketball. Great win for a banged up team.

 

[HooperScooper]

Can someone explain to me how they won that game? McNeeley was unbelievable but how the heck did they win this one? I will sleep well tonight!

 

[Vowelguy]

After the last game someone said “on the plus side, Liam played well in his first game back. He will be even better next time.”

Who made that sage comment?

Ohhhhhhh that’s right. That was me.

 

[Trudy Gay]

I just want whoever said we didn’t win there the last two years there’s no chance this would be the team to do it to raise their hand and take accountability for their stupidity

I mean it wasn’t exactly a hot take. Glad they got it done though.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Do you think they need to special order extra large shorts to fit Liam’s giant freaking balls?

 

[50cPitchers]

Hopefully a come to jesus moment for mcneeley where he and the team realize he’s the only one with any edge. Let him lead and everyone else can loosen up and play around him. Could be huge

 

[kobebeanbryant]

so Karaban is like actually washed huh

 

[BFieldHusky]

I thought we were cooked when Karaban missed 3 straight wide open 3's on one possession and then Traudt immediately buried a 3.

On the other hand, I knew Creighton was done when Ashworth missed his 1 FT for the month and then McNeeley buried a 3

Reminded me of the St. John's game where he missed all those 3s and then fouled a guy for a 4 point play. Luckily different outcome tonight!

 

[TheShot1990]

Liam is a one-man wrecking crew.
If you are too young to remember Donyell Marshall or Richard Hamilton, this is what it was like.

I feel bad for Alex. I also feel bad for me having to watch him struggle. But he is a gamer, gutting out points and rebounds wherever he could.

 

[BugsyCT]

A win so big it's worth multiple post-game threads.

Liam was tremendous. The Creighton curse in Omaha is broken.
