That was mostly a function of how Creighton defends, they aren't a ball pressure team, but still a positive thing.

Kemba? Those kids didn’t mind Kemba taking over, and got their confidence from him.

I bet he could have whittled it down to just Liam if he added the qualifier of doing it on a $1 Beer Night

So, tell me again how Liam's injury is going to keep him out of the lottery and ensure his return next year.

Beyond the gutsy shot making, he had a couple moments where you can see how amazing his calm and instincts are. The loose ball he grabbed after being on the floor, picked it up calmly, assessed the floor and took it right to the rim. The smart foul end of game to send Neal to the line. Was also fearless taking it at Kalk and finishing. A game for the ages right there. Kind of effort that makes you feel lucky to be a fan, seeing a kid that talented come out. Picked up every other player on the floor tonight.

Many of us here knew that January was going to be ugly without Liam. February is spring come early. Here’s hoping to a great finish to the year with a healthy Liam. Special player.
In the post game presser Hurley calls him Thor.

I knew he was good - I didn’t know he was this good. It really does add a new layer of possibilities with this team. He’s a really versatile chess piece, as a kid with a really good handle at his size. It gives you a chance to move the rest of your lineup around to create mismatches.
This was a very different kind of good than what we saw with Solo at Marquette. Liam is a full on Swiss Army knife.
If he can keep this up, Solo regains form, AK books a couple therapy sessions, things could get interesting.

Still nice to see. A lot of our TOs are unforced errors

The upcoming Seton Hall game is another excellent shot to experiment with bigger lineups with McNeeley on-ball a LOT more.
When he flipped from IU to UConn, combination of size, skill, IQ, Montverde, moxie got me super giddy and damn, is he amazing.

$20? Sure!
That’s more a function of Creightons D. They don’t pressure the ball at all

What was the nickname Manning got when he led Kansas to a chip. Maybe Liam will earn a similar nickname. I watched the game from a poker room with no sound. Most of the games had broken and it was quiet except for me yelling at the TV especially when Alex went to the line and bricked the front end of the one and one. Man what is up with him.
