Dear lord-- let us win this and I promise to throw an extra $5 in the plate at church this weekend before we beat Illinois.

 

Heading to the bank.  May even make it $10.

I've said it multiple times... there is NO reason this team shouldn't dance THIS year and if we don't I won't be happy with where the program is at.  Losing this one isn't going to knock us out, but it means we're going to have to be better than we have been on the road down the stretch.  It doesn't get any easier Sunday either.

The games we've squandered early against Rutgers and Minny are looming large the deeper into the season we go.

 

THERE IS NO REASON WE CAN'T DANCE.  WHY NOT US!?!?

[brfrad]

Never a doubt!

I think we broke Chucky haha. That foul down 4 with a minute + left

it is odd that wisconsin is ranked 6th with the same amount of wins as us. their wins are arguably worse than ours.

[Vinny]

Woot!

[Red Don]

As Bad as the officiating was; obviously trying to steal the game for Wisconsin, Makes the Victory all the Sweeter.

CJ. So money.

I didn't see, but it appeared he ran right to the locker room.  I don't blame him because of the court storm, but man... he's never coming here if he transfers.  He's taken a few beatings from our crowd... but well done again.

But for real, it got a lot later in the season this year before I gave up on the dream. Pretty sure we still make the NIT I guess.

What an asshole

My friend is a wisconsin fan and texted me that he seemed absolutely shook. That’s the fun of college hoops.  Our crowd gave him hell.

Nothing Chucky is ever gonna do will top the Myers Leonard treatment. Best bench shot ever.

Lost my voice at PBA.

In 2008, Creighton was up 13 at half. We won.  Same thing tonight.  We win.

I absolutely was thinking that in the first half. Especially because our shots seemed flat, which lead to them all bouncing in and out.

 

But we nutted up, came back, and dominated the second half and OT. That was awesome and whatever happened, worked

Well, to be fair, he did have back-to-back thefts in the latter portions of the 1st half. Flashback brain-fart.

I had predicted the exact margin of victory, and I never thought we were gonna lose (because of last year in Lincoln). Glad the fellas proved me right. That reminds me, gotta go see the PISSCONSIN twitter post. Later, gator! GBR

 

 

[Handy Johnson]

I was hoping we wouldn’t Storm the Court tonight. Oh Well, a problem I’ll gladly live with.
