Week 6: Other Games

[storrsroars]

Gotta admit, Jays have some stones. No bench help at all, other than King - who just got his 4th PF.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Creighton's bench is terrible, and has no height. They can't lose King.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

If he wants to make out with Kaluma before 1/7 I’m ok with that .

Agreed. Although, kind of want to kick their faces in at full strength so there are no asterisks next to our first win against them.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

If he wants to make out with Kaluma before 1/7 I’m ok with that .

Kaluma might as well be wearing a gold jersey in this game he is so out of control.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

We are about to see some hero ball by Nembhard and/or Kaluma.

 

[lonsharkin51]

Didn't see that 3 from Kaluma coming. Don't think it'll be enough though.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

McDermott left King on the bench too long. Mitchell is not a scoring threat, so ASU has been playing 5 on 4 defensively for the last 3 minutes. King would have forced ASU to defend down low and given Creighton a shot at a traditional 3 point play. Now they have to hit a 3 or hope ASU misses foul shots.

 

[storrsroars]

One thing in Creighton's favor is ASU sucks from the FT line tonight.

 

[superjohn]

If he wants to make out with Kaluma before 1/7 I’m ok with that .

Jackson will destroy Kaluma this season.

 

[bigknight3]

Thought he looked nervous before that free throw...

 

[auror]

8 seconds for Creighton's season.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I don't like that time out. A short clock is an advantage for the defense coming out of the timeout. Hurley can throw something crazy at Creighton and McDermott is tapped for TO's.

Edit: Hurley outcoached McDermott. The play was a 1-on-1 for Scheierman that ASU could provide just enough help on to eliminate any path to the hoop. Burned the clock, game over. Should not have called the timeout.

 

[WestHartHusk]

We will wear Creighton down. I don’t see how they have any chance against us.

 

[navery12]

Awful shot, but par for the course for 2022-23 Creighton

 

[lonsharkin51]

Five-game losing streak. Ouch.

 

[bigknight3]

Did he just say 5 consecutive losses, wow

 

[storrsroars]

Creighton could conceivably go 0-4 vs Hurleys this year.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

This team NEEDS Kalkbrenner back.

 

[bigknight3]

Bobby didn't want to shake Kalkbrenner's mono-hand

 

[August_West]

Jackson will destroy Kaluma this season.

So will mono

 

[superjohn]

This team NEEDS Kalkbrenner back.

They need a lot of things.

 

[storrsroars]

Awful shot, but par for the course for 2022-23 Creighton

That was more Scheierman's fault. Not much Nembhard could do with that. Not sure who the ball was supposed to go to, but Nembhard became the only option.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

This team NEEDS Kalkbrenner back.

What difference does it make? Creighton is cooked. Generally, when a team that is highly ranked in the preseason faceplants out of the gate like Creighton has, their season spirals.

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

Arizona State looks like a 25-30 ranked team. Creighton, without Kalk, looked no better. If you took Sanogo away from us, we would still be a top 15 team.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

That was more Scheierman's fault. Not much Nembhard could do with that. Not sure who the ball was supposed to go to, but Nembhard became the only option.

McDermott called a timeout for that play. It was a stupid call that a good coach won't make. You don't call timeouts with under 10 seconds if you have the ball over half court. Every team at every level has a go to play or plays for that situation.

McDermott has choked his season away with these last three losses.
