One of the top 3 threats out

I think Illinois and Tennessee are the toughest match ups for us out of the remaining 8

I think Tenn takes down Purdue, Bama over Clemson, and Duke beats NC State

Have to agree. The length of Illinois guards has me concerned.

The fat bastard gets all the love for the wolfpack, but Mo is carrying them.

It turns out, you can take Creighton out of the Missouri Valley but you can’t take the Missouri Valley out of Creighton

They made the Sweet 16 so this is not a great take.

The UConn football only fans are a strange breed.

Okay? Plenty of mid-majors have made the S16 and beyond

shoulda been a 1 bid league. marquette getting cooked

Does the mighty B-12 have anyone left?

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Creighton is a great team and good for the league and this may sound weird and inconsequential , but their uniforms ( color and print) are so mid major.

Please don't give Kobe any ideas.

Scheyer looks like a middle school gym teacher, sans the respect middle school gym teachers command.

He looks more like the guy coaching his five year old son's T-Ball team.

So are the Big East apologista.

Every minute matters in March. Creighton was -2 in the first 22 minutes, and +9 in the last 14 minutes. Typically that’ll be enough

In the 4 minutes in between, they were -14 and it’s game over

I had a sinus infection and an ear infection after BET , I never felt bad, went to work everyday like it was a nuisance cold. Only difference was blowing neon green snot. A few days later I lost all hearing ( I mean all of it) in my right ear , I saw an ENT early this week. I got some hearing back, but I ended up with 60% hearing loss in my right ear. I’m now faced with a choice of surgery with coin flip odds that it can repair, or a permanent hearing aid.

So you are not wrong.

If you end up with the latter DM me. I wish I had 40% hearing in either ear.

So what was your point, that Creighton‘s good?

Read this thread in the morning, knowing the outcomes. Entertaining. I did watch Marque poop the bed, but only pieces of the other games. Did Snead doom Houston or did Duke just beat them?

NC State is on a weird run. My overall impression of the tournament is that it’s being called like a PC vs St. John’s game. Bumping, clutching, grabbing off ball is all fair game. It has bothered Karaban and Cam to some extent. It would bother the charmin soft shooters at Creighton and Marquette even more. Marquette lacks the inside game to make up for it.

I also didn't watch, but it sounded like the Duke win was more a consequence of Houston having no offense without Shead and that they were pretty unimpressive.

Could St John’s be on a similar run like NC State is on if not for us?

Houston bricked a ton of fts too and I emphasize the word brick.

Aim high

Except for UConn and Villanova that is pretty much the ceiling for NEWBIE teams. I think Xavier went to a round of 8 once in 2015(ish) and Creighton did last year.

Could DePaul be on a similar run if not for, well pretty much everybody they played?

Game was over when they took Shead off on a scooter. Rare that a team can survive the loss of its best player Mid-game. Especially if he is the guy everything runs through. Heck, we struggled when Clingan went out against Seton Hall. Once we had a couple of days to adjust our approach, it was fine, but adjusting on the fly is difficult. And it isn’t like when a guy fouls out and you need to adjust for 2 minutes.
