Creighton Post Game

[gsmooth]

What a complete victory and UConn showed the killer instinct we really wanted to see. I know March matters the most, but let's enjoy this one, we can nitpick later.

Ross and Stewart. That is all. (I mean there was a lot to like but they looked more assertive).

Enjoyable win. For the most part, everyone played really well. Stewart and Ross back to contributing some offense like they were doing earlier in the season.

Hopefully the comments about how much this team actually sucks despite their record can cease for a few days

Nice to see the team hit shots and rebound.

My only two complaints:

1) Need Reed to stop picking up easily avoidable fouls
2) The feed was cutting out a little, but was Tim Brando saying that should have been a foul on Malachi and not the Creighton player and that is should be a flagrant? Also, did he watch Newton play. Newton had the green light from very deep. He wasn't shy about shooting. His scoring ended up being a big weapon for the championship teams.

Where's Tom?

He fell asleep on the couch before the game ended. It is late for an old guy.

It’s shooting. We hit a handful more shots the past few weeks and those nail biters are easy wins. We shoot like this and we’re near unbeatable

Loved Hurley's fire when we were up big. He said in the Providence post game that we weren't demolishing teams like the '24 squad but he believed we could get there. I think that fire he displayed tonight is exactly how he's going to pull that dog mentality out of this team.

We have the talent to be eviscerating good teams night in and night out. Feels like tonight was a major step towards doing that. Was awesome to watch and was reminiscent of the dominance the '24 team displayed.

Now let's string back to back dominant performances together. We've already wiped the floor with X once this season

Our defense is awesome and if Silas is aggressive scoring the ball and Jaylin and Ross are confident on offense instead of overthinking things we basically become unstoppable.

It sounds weird feeling like that was a get right game considering we were 20-1 heading into it but that's what it felt like.

 

[UCLJ0211]

Not much to complain about. Most complete game all season.

Nice to see Mullins return with good game . All starters but Reed in double figures.

Nits were Reed fouling out especially with fourth foul at mid court. Reed and Reibe can’t be 0 fer on FTs although small sample size.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Said this in another thread but up to 9 in KenPom, and @navery12 pointed out a big jump in offense.

Moved up a lot on Kenpom today (#9 right now). Michigan, Zona and Duke are way ahead then 4-12 are a nice grouping on Kenpom. #4 is closer to #12 than #3. The top three seeds in any region should be quite good this year.

These stats are not right

Looks like Jaylin got the message from Hurley after Providence about being aggressive, loved that he looked for his shot early in the first half.

There’s the A game. As nice as it is to watch a close game down the stretch, it’s also very fun to dominate!

Great three point shooting by pretty much everyone. Braylon led the way with 4, Silas and Solo with 3, AK/Ross with 2

Silas especially did a little bit of everything. 15/6/5 on 6-11 FG and 3-4 3P

Stewart was aggressive. Hit a post shot, a three, and a Dirk fade (???). Ross also got the message from Hurley with two threes, one of them being on the move with 0 hesitation

Tarris got a lot of heat in the chat but I don’t know why. He got doubled every time he touched the ball and made the right play 100% of the time. Had some dumb fouls leading to him fouling out but major progress on decision making

Let’s go Huskies!

20 pts from the Bench. This was an area that many were complaining about.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Some of us wondered if this team was a little "bored" during conference play along with getting everyone's best shot.

Go play in one of the toughest venues in a national game on Saturday night. They looked plenty motivated.

 

[UCFan1513]

Wow that felt good. Jaylin and Jayden picked it up, Mullins looked great, along with most everyone else. Keep the momentum

I’m saying..

I love Jaylen’s little mid range pull up/fade. He has the size and athleticism to use that more. Needs to stay aggressive on offense. Such a key piece.

 

[Gurleyman]

What will people complain about now!? Not winning by enough? The refs? “Killer instinct?” Donny Marshall?

21-1. 17 in a row.

Stack. Them. Up.

As soon as we went up by 30, we gave up a 7-0 run.

This could come back to bite us, if we can’t handle being up by 30. I’d suggest we get more practice.

Nice to get contributions from everyone tonight.


When Ross and Stevie are hitting from the outside you know it’s gonna be a decent night.

Hitting the glass hard needs to happen in every game. Holding teams to one shot like tonight enabled them to pull away.
