Creighton 2018-19, The Thread

[PimpMario]

I just wanted to beat Creighton once, they are up 26-19 on zaga at the 8 minute Mark.

 

Creighton has made a bunch of 3s

[hskr4life]

So we can’t beat them once because???  Illinois was up on Zaga too.... 

[brfrad]

It will be an interesting match-up.  A great 3 point shooting team against a team that guards the 3 very well.

Jays are looking solid and aggressive. Zags are looking asleep, tho. Not even close to playing good ball for them. 

This likely won't hold.

Two things to keep in mind as well is that Creighton is awful in the paint, only 8 points today and Gonzaga is missing two of their starters if I’m not mistaken.  Honestly the 3 things we will have going for us is we are better defensively, we are so much better in the paint and we are at home.  Not to say it won’t be close, but I still think it is our game to lose.  I don’t see our three seniors losing this game this year after we let it get away from us last season.

Zags look awful, and CU shot well early. Hope the Zags play with their hair on fire 2nd half.

[Cowboy Kermit]

Tyshon Alexander is a good player, but these shots aren't going to fall forever. Live by it, die by it. Zags trailed Zona by 8 at the half in Maui and won by 17. Step back from the edge.

Jays still hanging tough after a good Zag charge back. This Jays game likely better than anyone thought. They're not going to finish in the 9th slot in the Big East. That much I'm sure of.

CU winning is better for us. Not saying anyone should cheer for CU to win, but we should look at the bigger picture.

Hell i don't care as long as we beat them! I want another top 25 win...

Zags pulling away. Live by the huck. Die by the huck.

And let’s not look ahead to much either, keep in mind after what I’ve seen from Illinois and Minnesota this week we should handle them if we play our game.  Don’t get me wrong, I want to beat Creighton as much as anyone, but starting 2-0 in conference play is just as important in my book.

Arguably you could say it might be more.  I could see an argument for that.

Crayton making this interesting.  Zags just got away with a big time travel

Jays played tough. they're awful on the boards, and it cost them this game.

Clemson intentionally fouled us FOUR TIMES what’s going on I assumed that wasn’t a college rule?

Those are the Cretins still in the stands. Lots of early exits.

Not if we beat Okie state, if we would have 3 quality wins against big conference opponents and go 1-1 with the Big East and 1-1 with the Big 12 we would have more then enough quality non-con wins already to focus on conference play.  That’s not counting Cal State Fullerton who won their conference and went to the dance last year.  However, not beating Illinois and Minnesota before we go to a ranked Maryland and a ranked Iowa team sets us up to start 2-2, 1-3 or 0-4.  That’s a far worse hole to dig out of them just a lose to Creighton.  IMO

I think the difference is Clemson fouled our guys going for the ball.  Creighton fouled a guy who was not anywhere near the ball.

 

Creighton started 6 of 9 from 3.  Hit 8 of their last 23.

Those poor kids pay $50K a year to have the right to boo whomever they want, NK. Deal with it. 

 

Correction: The full cost is more than $53,000.

I don't care how many sweater vests their daddies have.

Of course, Cretin now gets all week to prep for NU, while we play two conference games.
