February - Other Big East Games

[TRest]

Creighton and Providence playing a typical BE game, but apparently without fouls! In OT now.

It must be nice to hack away and not worry about it. That last sequence was a joke.

Calling a timeout on the last possession helps the defense more than the offense.

PC played it perfectly, foul the hell out of Creighton and dare the refs to make a call in their arena to end the game.

Cooley is such a good end of game coach.

He really is. Springing the trap was a good move

 

[jdb50]

Cooley is such a good end of game coach.

Doubling the small PG in the halfcourt corner was well done by him.

 

[caw]

Not sure that was a goaltend there, but it followed an iffy foul where the PC player slipped and fell over.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

There is not another gym in the country where Bynum will get bailed out by the officials on a play like that.

The alley oop Floyd fouled Kaluma but we all knew they weren't going to call that

 

[nelsonmuntz]

The refs get the Friars just enough calls to win at home.

 

[caw]

PC cannot defend the high pick and roll at all right now.

Creighton ran it about 5 plays in a row, different directions different players but same play. PC is getting more varied shots and a lot of calls.

Thought Hurley came up with that Creighton play out of the timeout to end regulation.

 

[TRest]

Nice execution by both teams lol.

 

[caw]

Creighton will have to win this game, refs are not going to give them any favors.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Creighton should have won it in regulation, Providence should have won it in OT. Creighton’s lack of depth could be a problem.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Creighton looks spent.

 

[superjohn]

If that was the final play UConn ran, man minimum 5 DH threads.

Hurley is 7-24 in these games.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

the Kaluma travel call was the dagger. Not surprising that the refs decided it.

 

[gsmooth]

Creighton looks spent.

Yup Nembhard's miss was tired legs

 

[CTBasketball]

I envy these teams ability to play close games.

 

[caw]

Road game, BE, loss. Shocked <<sarcasm>>

Creighton is a good team, but their winning streak was built by a good schedule (home against good teams, road against bad). This was their first test since losing on the road to X and UConn. It's not surprising they lost. Don't get me wrong, they are a good team but anyone who had them winning tonight was high.

I like PC and Cooley, if they had different fans I'd root for them.

I prefer blowing teams out. :-p

 

[msgordon]

Don't get me wrong, they are a good team but anyone who had them winning tonight was high.

bro the game went to double OT and they had the last shot to win twice

 

[gsmooth]

Hurley is 7-24 in these games.

Yup. That is not something that can be ignored. I hate to say it but I hope UConn beats PC handily at Gampel because in a close game I trust PC and Cooley more in that situation

I don't know that I would play my starters a lot of minutes at Providence if I was Sean Miller. The officials are certain to do everything they can to get PC the win at crunch time in a close game, so why risk an injury right before the tournament in a game you have almost no chance of winning? If Xavier gets up 15 points early in the second half, then keep the first unit in. Otherwise, play the bench in the second half.

We crumble in crunch time like a cookie.

 

[gsmooth]

Me too. Remember when UConn was good at these games?
