That's a nice run by Creighton. Ashworth is playing really well.

 

[NHUConnfan]

Well that was quick

McAndrew is gonna be a problem these next few years.

 

[millertime7774]

Big East criminally underrated.

 

[Hurleyman216]

Creighton has hit like 4 3’s in the last 2 mins. Absolutely burying Louisville. Let’s go Big East!

 

[firstnline]

Creighton up 28-21. I wish Kalk would have committed those turnovers against us.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Why does #8 Louisville get a home game?

I wonder what the average seed is for the #2 team in the big east??? I bet it's alot lower than 9.

The SEC warped the metrics this year, pushing everyone’s seed down. We will know if the metrics need an overhaul in 36 hours.

There is a Thursday game thread now guys.

 

[BFieldHusky]

This ain't the ACC Ville...

 

[HuskyHawk]

There are now three of these. I started one and so did @BFieldHusky Need a mod to merge them.

Go Creighton. Up 15

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Big run for Creighton. Louisville got a lot of attention for being under-seeded but man they’re not looking good. We can only hope that the terrible state of the ACC has left those teams unprepared for real competition.

Can Creighton keep up this pace

 

[gsmooth]

Creighton would have been a Top 10 team if Isaac had played and Kalkbrenner had not had his back problems in November and early December.

Is Louisville missing someone? I am at a restaurant and can’t hear the announcers.

Better with Pop Isaacs? Yes, but top 10, I don't think so. Creighton's defense is better without Isaac. Also, the reason why they have some of these injuries is because the starters play such heavy minutes. Creighton can be pressured into turnovers. I saw that Georgetown game earlier in the year where Georgetown won by 24 points. Creighton is a better team than Georgetown, but that game was not a fluke nor was their loss later in the year at Xavier.

Having said all of this, Creighton is looking good against Louisville and I will be pulling for them.

I started one because when I checked there weren't any. IDK what happened but apparently mine was the last one created. I must have had a cached version of the forum stuck on my browser: -_- (sorry)

refs calling freedom of movement fouls the Big East doesn't

 

[jibsey]

Creighton 9-16 from 3

 

[Marat]

I feel like I should'nt be rooting for Creighton, .......

These refs are Creighton's dream refs. Ours too

 

[firstnline]

Thus far Creighton realizing they are not playing St. Johns

 

[HuskyHawk]

Love this so far. Creighton just dominating and making everything. Louisville defense is awful.

 

[millertime7774]

Purdue in an early fight with High Point. BIG 10 and ACC (& likely SEC) way overranked.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Yeah, but it's not like there's a lack of hatred for Louisville.

 

[SoFla Steve]

Creighton up 49-34 at the half!

 

[superjohn]

Bad close to the half for Creighton.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Our defense was terrible against Creighton, especially in the 1st half, but as see, Creighton is a good offensive team.
