Lucky we got 4.The officials had a couple bad calls late, but the foul shot disparity was 18-4. That's right. UConn had 4 foul shots the entire game. Can that be right?

It’s hard - he’s such a limited athlete. Painfully slow. His entire game is about being in the right place.
Did wonder if there was a point in that game where should have gone small to put the extra shooter on the floor against the drop. Let Alex play the 5 with help.
You do realize our fans are the most obnoxious of them all right? Can’t throw stones. I’ll be pulling for both. For this league to sustain any credibility it has to do it in the tourney.
Have you been to a game at PC?Yeah, nah. There is obnoxious. There is rude. Then there were Creighton fans.
SJU fans were pretty bad but they directed things at me (an adult). So maybe when I calm down I’ll change my mind on rooting for SJU.
I want Creighton to lose every game they play for eternity because of who Creighton fans targeted. Nothing bad enough could happen to them. Nothing.

Providence is the only college hoops environment I've been to where there's fist fights.Have you been to a game at PC?
Hurley has stimulated something in Creighton fans that I’m not sure a coach has done with another fan base. You get those Midwesterners isolated out the cornfields some good antagonistic attention and they really unlock.
Sadly THIS.....They’re the exact same team they were in November.
I have said that same thing about going small in several posts. Not sure why we did not make any adjustments. We were not shooting well and Kalkbrenner was shutting down the shots at the basket. Hmmmmm let’s try something to get him away from doing that. Even playing some inside out ball with Reed anything because we needed to change the clear path the game was heading.It’s hard - he’s such a limited athlete. Painfully slow.

What was thrown at Hurley and UConn players?At what point does any of the blame for the poor behavior also get shared with the Creighton fans who cuss out and throw stuff at Hurley and our players when we play in Omaha
Not excusing Hurley but the Creighton fans cussing out and throwing stuff at our players and coaches shouldn't get a free pass.
Breaking news: Man pokes bear and is surprised bear attacks
They were throwing plastic bottles at our guys entering and exiting the tunnel in OmahaWhat was thrown at Hurley and UConn players?
You have any video of this? Any articles referencing this? I watched every game we played them in Omaha and never saw this. Haven't seen any video of this and haven't seen any reference to it. I saw Hurley chants, Hurley threatening to knock a fan out if he stepped over the barrier and the two rings thing.They were throwing bottles at our guys entering and exiting the tunnel in Omaha
I didn't see it myself but a few UConn fans on the college basketball subreddit corroborated it. Given the fact it happens pretty often in sports I'm not surprisedYou have any video of this?

His perimeter shooting has abandoned him. Since that inferno in Omaha, he has been shooting 25% from 3. And some of these misses in the last few games are wiiiiide open looks and he isn't knocking them down.I think someone needed to pull Liam aside and just tell him to be patient on offense. He obviously has so much talent, but seems like he's making the game harder for himself right now. He took 9 more shots than anyone on the team and there was quite a few that weren't great shots. I don't think there's a ton of instances where taking 20 shots with 0 assists is great offensive execution.
Oh my gosh Hurley threatened them?? Call the police!You have any video of this? Any articles referencing this? I watched every game we played them in Omaha and never saw this.

However Green was not to be denied last night. He scored in every possible. Het the tone.Yea defense was the issue. Can’t be down 17 and expect to win. We ran plays for McNeeley because thats how we beat the drop coverage D. He has a bad shooting game. We didn’t have AK most of the game, Ball was bottled up and can’t create. So McNeeley was only one.
The letter to the students said nothing about things being thrown at Hurley and the players. It was words and gestures.I didn't see it myself but a few UConn fans on the college basketball subreddit corroborated it. Given the fact it happens pretty often in sports I'm not surprised
The email to Creighton students absolutely happened as one posted a picture of it on the same subreddit when it was sent out
In basically all of his best games, he's taken 10+ free throws. When he's not getting those calls, like versus Kalkbrenner who never gets fouls called on him, he's definitely had some inefficient shooting nights. I think it's especially hard because we definitely ask him to take a lot of tough shots because we don't have a ton of guys who can create their own offense.His perimeter shooting has abandoned him.

I thought he should have pulled up and shot the 8-10 footer with just enough space between him and Kalkbrenner (shooting over Kalk when he standing in front is tough). I would rather he shoot an uncontested 8-10 footer than shoot a heavily contested shot 2-3 footer with Kalkbrenner in his face.
I was at the DePaul game so I saw the bad side of Creighton.I have said that same thing about going small in several posts. Not sure why we did not make any adjustments.

The comeback is just part of the college game. Unless you are a really great team every team gives up those big leads if they are playing a team with reasonable talent.
But the lack of adjustments let this tournament go chalk. St Johns was the best team this year. Creighton finished second. It is just amazing how bad Creighton looks when playing other teams then Green has his career game versus us. He won’t score 20 points combined in the remaining games Creighton will play. My guess is they are out in the second round.
That's the #1 thing I want from the transfer portal this year is a big PG that can run the offense and another big wing that can create their own offense.In basically all of his best games, he's taken 10+ free throws.

There are not a lot of those to go around - we’ll be part of a large auction. Let’s see what happens.That's the #1 thing I want from the transfer portal this year is a big PG that can run the offense and another big wing that can create their own offense.
