The elephant in the room is that wasn’t Creightons best effort.  They left a lot of points at the stripe and behind the arc.  Some was our defense sure but they also missed some wide open looks from guys who typically shoot better.

The good news is that was a C game by our new standard.  A lot went wrong.  Adama’s foul trouble was a major factor and imo self inflicted.  I disagree with some who think the calls on him were wrong.  He bulled into Mahaney on that moving screen call.  Losing our PG in winning time is a big deal and primarily on the defensive end.  Z went to work on Gaffney.  That was game planned.

Creighton is a tough matchup because they do the things we do well just as well.  They are big athletic play tough D and go after the ball.

They sent three defenders at Bouknight when he got the ball at the top of the key.  In a tournament format teams won’t have time to scheme that.

I’m melancholoy this morning because a BET win in our reunion year would have been special, but I’m not discouraged.  Let’s see what matchups we draw.
