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

We ended up making something out of nothing. Not worth to pick apart all of the negatives.
Time for the them to pack up, forget about the loss and get prepared for tournament play. It’s win or go home time.
Happy to see Diarra standup to Neal.
Let the fire continue to the next game and beyond.

Don't really care if we lose in the semis or the final. Had no chance against St John's with this deeply flawed team. However I am getting pretty tired of losing to Creighton teams that can't actually compete for anything else on the conference or national stage and equally as tired of giving up huge games to some mediocre player on seemingly every team we play against.

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.

The roster really wasn’t that good for a variety of reasons. If 23-10 is going to be the floor, that’s great

Truly awful defense in that first half. The offense should get a lift with the freedom of movement outside the BE but man, hard to get too excited with that defense.

this team isn’t doing anything this year
we just didn't have the team to win this game. That's all we just don't have that one player to step up and start draining shots. The referees are unreal in the big east and I can't wait till out of this conference.
those two possession calls in a row were professional malfeasance and the fact that the other ref on the floor would come over and try to straighten the call out is beyond me.
And can Kalbrenner actually get called for a foul I'm really starting to wonder. Playing exactly the same up with our hands straight up. We get called for fall after fall, but that guy couldn't get called for a fout if he tried.

No, it’s slow players.
Donovan erased a lot of mistakes last year. He allowed guards to take more chances. He altered a ton of shots.

Solo & Samson can win you a game.
They sure as hell can lose you a game too.
Defense was putrid tonight. Lots of zombies in the first half.
Once again, our inability to create our own shot off the dribble bites us in the ass.
On to selection Sunday.

Can’t play no defense for a half and expect to win. That being said had chances bad shot selection at critical times didn’t help at all.
I’m not a ref blames but I hate playing Creighton because they get the favorable no whistle every game while also getting every ticky tack foul.

I’m not mad about that loss. Lot of motivation going into the tournament

They earned it, but we can’t foul that much and win no matter who we play.

This. We’re not athletic and we don’t have a top notch rim protector to cover up for it. It’s a tough combo.
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”

I always look at certain plays and think how they will come back to bite us. Reed and Liam battling each other for an uncontested rebound and losing it out of bounds and Creighton then scoring stands out. The point at 28 all when McNeeley was waiting to come in and Creighton went on a 7-0 run was another.
