Creighton Post game thread

This is 100% spot on. UConn literally pulled the Big East out of being completely irrelevant. Yes, Nova had a couple good years with Jay Wright, but if we left the league now, what do they have left? We must account for something like 50% of the media and more than 50% of the NCAA Tourney payouts that come into the conference. I get the refs don’t like Hurley but it’s time for a re-set for next year. They either need to get rid of some of these most egregious officials or the UConn AD needs to start embarrassing the league publicly. You don’t get to use us as your cash cow while simultaneously kicking us in the teeth. That ain’t gonna cut it.

Referee-ing is not a good reason to leave the conference especially if one thinks Hurley is the issue. He's getting better treatment when he's the new guy in the conference?! Unlikely.

The BE refs were troublesome the prior two years when UConn had great teams yet it wasn't a problem come NCAA time. Definitely moving from more physical to less physical play made them better and arguably forging a toughness playing thru referee-ing made them better. Its been proven when UConn has a championship level team the BE works to harden the team to then go out and win the championship. The Huskies aren't championship level this year and that isn't the fault of the refs or the BE.

The grass ain't always greener.

One shower thought I had this morning (for some reason still thinking about this game) - imagine if our players (and program) did not aspire to go to the NBA like Creighton, with guys sticking around well past the time they should to prop up a random Midwest school for some reason and playing against much younger guys and just to be an annoyance (lets be real they’re not winning anything). If that was UConn’s culture this year we’d still have Jordan Hawkins, Step Castle, and Clingan on the team and would be unstoppable.

Respect for owning it. It happens!

God we have some absolute clowns in this fan base. Such an embarrassment.

Your right my comments were out of line. I was very frustrated with loss and defense and shouldn’t have blamed Kimani.

You think guys don't aspire to be multi-millionaires?

We aren’t good. A 2nd round beat down by Duke is a fitting end to our season.

Edit: 2nd round beat down by Florida but it shoulda been Duke.
