Message: [QUOTE="RuffRuff, post: 5191352, member: 1268"] Turnovers are not something you often have to worry about against Creighton. If TO's become the issue here, then we really aren't very good. We only had 6 in the first game and it generally hasn't been an issue most of the year. Our biggest issue in the first game personnel wise is that Alex sucked. He couldn't make anything. Strategically, they sagged Kalk back on rim and extended the perimeter D to smother the 3 point line. Liam back should help there with his ability to penetrate. The difference in that game if you look at the box is really the FT line, where they outscored us 14-5. All other stats are fairly even. We need AK to be decent, which I think he will be. This type of defense will be a relief after the last two. We need to be ok taking some short jumpers in this one, because that's where the space will be. We went out and showed some balls on the road the last go, so don't think that is gonna stunt this group. In fact, feel this team has played generally it's best hoops away from Storrs/Hartford most of the year (Texas, Marquette, Gtown, Gonzaga). They've been pretty lackluster at home this year. The more I think about this one, the better I feel, should be a close one. [/QUOTE]
