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

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.
He really is. Springing the trap was a good move

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

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

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

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

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

the Kaluma travel call was the dagger. Not surprising that the refs decided it.
Yup Nembhard's miss was tired legs

I envy these teams ability to play close games.
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
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.

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