Creighton Post Game

.-.
Everyone played well except too many fouls on the perimeter by Reed. Smith was a little disappointing again. At least he made a 3. Ross looked more confident int he 2nd half. I like seeing Stewie assert himself in the paint. Demary had the floating game going and he continues to shoot well from the perimeter, picking his spots. Good game by AK and Ball. I hope the rest of our games are this easy.
 
I will say one thing, I am a bit disappointed not to have a good Creighton team because a good Creighton team with their coach always does a great job of exploiting and showing UConn it's weaknesses. Hurley then has done a great job of adjusting and covering those weaknesses. I'm not saying I want a loss, but there wasn't a ton to learn from for the coaching staff in terms of adjustments it can make.

We have been tested by very good non conference teams but the St. John’s one will be interesting.
 
Ball missed first shot of the game, but he is important to our offense because he can get around screens and drive into the paint for pull ups. No one else really does that. Unfortunately his 2-pt shooting percentage has been dropping, but his 3pt percentage is on the rise.

So are you saying we learned nothing from all the close games we've had in the Big East so far? I would say we learned a lot from those games which is why we had the performance we did tonight. We don't need Creighton to be good for us to see what our weaknesses are we have the best coaching staff in the country to do that and I trust them.

I'm a Donny Marshal fan but does he need to mention every game how Mullins is only staying one year? I do like though when he points out that Mullins still has things to work on in his game and playing for coach Hurley is a good place for him to improve his game. Recruits know this already but it doesn't hurt for people to keep repeating that.
 
Blowouts are fun but against a bad team lets pump the breaks a bit. Lets hope this is a sign of this team starting to run on all cylinders and this performance because more the norm. Reed needs to clean up the poor fouls and i have a couple other nitpicks but this team is well on its way to having a fun run through the BE Tourney and a #1 seed in the Tourney. As legit a chance at the title as anyone no doubt.

UConn win close game - They suck. Season is in jeopardy.


UConn win blow out- pump the breaks. That other team sucked.
 
Does anyone know what happened on that second half play where Smith bear hugged the ball handler and UConn ended up with the ball? Was it an offensive foul?

I think Dan showed them the poll I put up a few days ago 🤣. Nobody thought we could go to Omaha and just manhandle Creighton, yet we did. I’m still concerned that Tarris just isn’t where we need him to be to go far. However, this is a huge step in us clicking and finding that next gear at the right time of year. Very happy with this performance. It’s just what we needed to start building that postseason confidence.
