Another long day waiting until 8:30pm et to watch this happen. One less fan in my house will be watching. My 9 year old has trouble staying awake past 9pm on a school night. He likes the late tip offs more than Hurley. At least tonight it will only be 7:30 local time. Imagine how this will impact conferences who will now have schools in four time zones.

What's the spread / odds?

What's the spread / odds?

UConn -2.5; KenPom says 2 pts., however . . .

ESPN Analytics gives Creighton a 57.5% chance to win.

John Fanta picks Creighton to upset UConn tonight on SiriusXM College sports radio. If UConn continues playing it’s best I don’t see it.

Hate Crayton

 

[drayenob]

According to this there are still tickets available at 25.00 each?

Basically every CBB talking head is picking Creighton tonight. Have heard everything from it being a quick turnaround for UConn to Creighton being the farthest distance from UConn to travel to. I really don't see Creighton having the personal to keep up outside Baylor Scheierman and Ashford going completely nuts. I think it will be a closer match but unless we come out like Seton Hall, I still like UConn .

UConn has never won at Creighton and Creighton is 0-6 against #1 ranked teams.

McDermott's had time to simmer.

Classic “something’s gotta give” game

 

[connVA]

Besides the lazy “UConn has never won in Omaha and, since nothing ever changes, clearly they’ll lose again…” take, what is Fanta’s argument?

Big keys will be Diarra/?Newton locking down Ashworth and (I assume) Castle/Alex locking down Scheierman

How the Refs call this game against us will be huge (don't mean this in a whiny way...Creighton's D is designed to limit fouling, so they won't get in foul trouble...we play more aggressive on-ball D and how whistle-happy the refs are about that will shape the game)

Creighton board is debating would it be appropriate for a court storming if they do win tonight. seems to be 50/50

Much like here, I'm guessing the "no court storm" folks are older guys. And even many of them were saying, "I wouldn't, but it's for the kids".

Creighton's never beaten a #1 there. Bet the house there's a court storming.

If that happens, it'll be the biggest thing to happen in Omaha since Crazy Horse surrendered.

They were probably waiting for Charlie to pass for at least a decade.

But good for Charlie. Last I saw of him he still looked like a jolly cherub at 98 and had more on the ball than either party head. Maybe it was all that Coca-Cola.

He also picked Marquette to win last weekend.
