Creighton post game thread

[Punkbo]

Very satisfying win! Let’s go!

 

[CTtoSanDiego]

wow, Liam... saved our bacon. Now if AK can find his shot....

 

[TheHorde]

Fantastic win! I knew Diarra has been playing really hurt. I’m shocked the Huskies won there basically without him.

 

[NickDanger]

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.

I don’t see the chat links posted on this board anymore. How do you find the chat?

AK needs to get s!@t faced and forget about hid dismal play the last few (too many) games

 

[ecasadoSBU]

finally won at Omaha. great comeback boys!!

It's only February! Just. keep. winning!

 

[Marat]

It's hard to believe it's UConn 1st win at Creighton ever.

 

[Gutter King]

That performance is an all-timer. He absolutely willed the team to a win, with next to zero support and everything working against us. I was just hoping we didn't spoil it by choking it away. I want the next month to be Solo, AK, and Liam to all show up and we could really do some damage.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Well Epic game from McNeeley. Really just out the team on his back and carried them. Not a normal freshman so savvy. Diarra hurt. Ball obviously hurt too but did his best to get to the rim. AK shot is MIA but his D on Kalk and gutty effort was important.

 

[SportsFan88]

Liam literally took the creighton crowd out the game, that’s what you call a DOG

 

[Palatine]

AK and Solo's both had a chance to put it away. LM showed them how its done.

 

[uconngb]

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!

Literally…..we had ONE guy play above average. I mean he was stratospherically above average, but we got pretty much nothing from anyone else

 

[Austin316]

Not gonna lie I really love it when we go small… I feel confident.

 

[uconnbill]

I wouldn't trade Liam for any freshman in the country including the guy at Duke.

 

[3rdbass]

I would never thought we win for the first time in UConn history at Creighton with a cold Ball, a cold Karaban, Diarra barely playing, our centers in foul trouble all game. Thank you Mr. McNeelely for single-handily saving us. I actually liked the small line up with Karaban at center. I wonder if we see it more as our Centers both can have trouble impacting the offense and nobody is guarding them outside of 5 feet. Also on defense we seem to play better at times without our 5s out there as more foot speed.

On the road against Creighton. Our Cs with a combined 2 points and both in foul trouble after 10 minutes. 4 total bench points. Karaban and Solo shoot 0-11 from three. Out-shot on FTs 30-15..We lost by 20, right?

Nope. Liam McNeeley just put in the best game I’ve ever seen a UConn player put in.

I’m still a little speechless. This guy is the clear best player on our team. We go as far as Liam carries us

LETS GO HUSKIES

 

[F101Voodoo]

I almost lost hope during the first half but remembered they win years ago against Pittsburgh when we were down by 20 points in the first half at half time but came back to win.

 

[gsmooth]

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

It did have that "of course here we go again in Omaha" thought in my head.

By the way UConn Nation, I apologize my wife and I didn't watch the game together on TV for the Gampel game earlier this year and the game in Omaha last year. When we watch, UConn wins against Creighton, we are 3-0.

 

[Palatine]

The no PG look saved the day.

 

[MuchoDogYears]

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

No…Since Rip

 

[gsmooth]

Not gonna lie I really love it when we go small… I feel confident.

Well if Reed is going to give us nothing and commit silly fouls, yeah, it has to become an option. Samson was okay tonight, but nothing outstanding.

 

[Dibbie]

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

2-1

Take that and do what you will with it.

And we drop from #19 to also receiving vote!

 

[Glastonhusky]

AK needs to get s!@t faced and forget about hid dismal play the last few (too many) games

I was yelling at the TV for him to stop taking 3's. Don't know what's happened to his shot.

 

[Kembafan]

How do you solve a problem like Karaban?

 

[dtrumpet]

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.

AK's knocking the ball loose and diving for it (off them) with :50 left was big.
