Creighton Post game thread

Based on the post game interview and lip reading the altercation between McDermott and Murray, he seems to have taken exception to Hurley’s “2 rings” comment, and defended that his guys felt disrespected by it

You can see him saying something like “come on man, you came to your place and points at finger said two rings.” Then Murray says “I didn’t say that”

The 2 rings was dumb but I don’t see why Creigton felt disrespected. It was Hurley responding with fans who were heckling him.
 
I think we get a 9 seed against a very tough 8. We might be a day one casualty.

Anything can happen in the tournament and the conference tournament isn't always indicator of how they'll do in the tournament.

Right now can only hope for a good draw in a weak bracket. This team might get motivated if they can win the first two.

Open your eyes, Kimani been carried, by exceptional defensive players like Jackson, Clingan, and Castle.

How do you know he didn't make them the exceptional defenders they are? Clingan made a big jump defensively from year 1 to year 2.
Your argument about the coaching is poor at best. Just move on to another bad take.

LM needs to become a better finisher at the rim. Misses too many bunnies.

I expected us to start strong after Creighton played 2OT game, but that's been us all season. Terrible 1st halves pretty much every game. I can't explain it.

Are you nuts, those aren’t bunnies, those are extremely difficult shots over a 7 footer…which is why he shouldn’t be taking them in the first place.
 
Creighton exploited matchups in the first half. Alex and Liam were getting exploited (too slow). Spread the floor and took it to us. First half D was pitiful and in the second half we saw a lot of alternate lineups. A couple of terrible calls stalled the comeback.

Lets get in the 8 and 9 game and knock off a 1 seed. Would consider it a good year all things considered.

There have been so many times this year where I thought this team had finally turned the corner only to be proven wrong. Coming out of Gonzaga, at Marquette , at Creighton etc. While I've given up that this is anything more that a pretty good, yet deeply flawed roster, it would be nice to see it all come together just once and see them play a perfect game. Reed's power down low with Ball, Karaban and McNeeley killing it from downtown. If we actually get out of the first round and could do that against a 1 or 2 seed, i too would consider it a "good year all things considered" no matter what happens after

Kind of simple really - they’re not good enough to win when they don’t play hard and they don’t play hard all that often. At least we do not need to see St. John’s blow them off the court again.

They really need a simpler playbook and the staff is still out there trying to prove they can play chess with this group of checker players.

They’re the exact same team they were in November.

This 100. Adjustments need to be made based on personnel. The one play where they were down 4 with the ball, after they cut 17 pt lead, and they had a shot clock violation because players were standing around trying to figure out what to do got me PO'ed.
I was in Hawaii to see the games live. They have improved, but they still have the same issues that they had in Hawaii.
