Creighton post game thread

1) McNeeley had a huge game, but there was a bit too much heat check in it. Efficiency matters.

2) McDermott made a bunch of mistakes tonight. He made no adjustments for McNeeley, and he let Creighton waste a bunch of offensive possessions at the beginning of the 2nd half. Then he tried a bad missed free throw attempt that had almost no chance of success.

3) Karaban's shot is a mess. It looks off from the wind up. He needs to spend a lot of time working on it.

4) UConn had Marquette on the road, St. Johns at home, and Creighton on the road, and took 2 of 3. Nice work.

Worst post in boneyard history.

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

Someone always needs to say it for the basketball gods to decide they need to be made to look like idiots. Same goes for fans crashing out on twitter in the first half. It’s somehow good mojo and probably humbles the fan in their day to day life(speaking from experience).

Efficiency matters and Liam was very efficient, off the charts efficient. He had 1.72 points per shot, that's humongous efficiency. His points per possession when he had the ball I am sure was 1.3 or more. Somebody fact check me.
 
I’ve been as down on Mahaney as anyone but making Liam the de facto starting PG and Diarra the backup finally takes Mahaney out of that role. He is much better when looking to score instead of looking to pass. Idk maybe I’m just in a good mood but I like this 9 man rotation.

Liam / Diarra
Ball / Mahaney
Stew / Ross
Alex
Samson / Reed

Karaban has not been right since the concussion.

I believe that’s a big part of it.

No Karaban has 4 good games consecutively after the Gonzaga game and played well at Texas and at Georgetown, too. He is just in his own head too much. I really feel bad for him, I don't care how much NIL he is making. I am hoping he conquers his self doubts.

Lmao. Given that @freescooter only posts after losses, you won't have competition for one of the more miserable takes I've ever read here. Efficiency matters? He had 38 points on 22 shots. Literally had a 55/50/90 game and you post this. Such a joke.

So we may never see it again?

Yes Dan Hurley does have a tendency to move away from something working in favor of something more comfortable. We played small last yeah when Cling was hurt and Sampson was the only big won all the games. Didn't see it again until the ncg and that was because the bigs were in foul trouble.
 
1st of 2 #221 Seton Hall landmines to avoid this week, an away L would make the Colorado loss look good.

I think it's fair now to speculate how many of our 3 losses (@Nova, Creighton, @Xavier) would have been wins had McNeeley been available. We'd still be a deeply flawed team, but he's a huge difference maker.

Looking at Torvik, we have had 10 games with a def rating 100+. 3 of those were the Sowwy in Maui, and 6 of those were without Liam.

1 "Poor" defensive game with Liam. The Maui games I think we can all agree were some sort of weird twilight zone where the dream was still alive that Aidan was the golden ticket. Spitballing the math, that gets us into a 40ish range with Liam. We also haven't had Solo, AK, and Liam firing on all cylinders at once and still have the 12th Offense. This team has more to give and Liam just cranked up the electricity on this weird a__ Frankenstein monster of a team.
 
One good sign of a well coached team, the players knew the gameplan to foul up 3 even in live ball situations even when it wasn't immediately following a timeout where they could be reminded.

McNeeley's foul on Neal and Ball's foul on Green also both came right as both guys were about to get the ball to Ashworth. And that's a guy you don't want taking the 3, or to foul to avoid the 3 either

He should change things up and shave his beard and maybe even his head to a tight buzz cut to change things up. It couldn’t hurt at this point.
