Creighton again does us no favors

[colhusker]

Just got beat by Georgetown. 

[Shuttlesworth]

Nebraska has 5 losses outside the Top 25................................................So does Creighton.

[Norm Peterson]

So, that helped G'town's resume.  

[jdostal]

I still think GT has some ways to go.  If they beat Nova they're a lock, but with a loss they'll need to do work in NYC

[lanigan123]

No way does beating Nova make them a lock. they would be sitting at 18 wins with a loss outside the top 200. Thats like saying losing tomorrow and beating Wisconsin makes us a lock.

[Silverbacked1]

Are we going to do 64 pages on Creighton like they have on whether we should be in the NCAA or not.

I don't go there but after see what Royal said I looked they have a three that is over 65 pages with 502 replies on a thread is called delusional. WOW

No, not really.  It's like saying if we beat Michigan and then won @ Wisconsin we'd be a lock.

"Why does every team that plays us suddenly decide to go off from 3???" - Creighton fan

Gee I don't know, maybe because you suck at defense?

Karma is a bitch says Husker and 'Nova fan.

[colhusker]

Did mean for anyone to imply that Creighton didn't deserve to get in, simply pointing out the dang bluebirds did us no favors.

[rwmctrofholz]

Hurts our SOS and helps a bubble team.

 

Creighton will be one of the stronger 6 seeds in the NCAA tournament (tee-hee)

Another brutal effort by Creighton against a decent but not great team.   Read that dumpster fire message board quick.  They are not too bright over there.  They just now realize Gibbs is not very good at anything but being an ahole?  Then they are the only ones that are allowed to shoot well?  And Hanson is supposed to play over Wragge all of a sudden, yet they love Wragge the lumberjack?  How in the hell is the coach supposed to know if Wragge is going to be able to knock shots down that night?  Amazing that they don't understand their potential flaws until they don't shoot well. 

[lanigan123]

So 18 wins get you a guaranteed tourney invite? So we win tomorrow we are in? George Town has to do major work on big east.

[GoBigRed]

Funny thing is Creighton has been mostly average for the last 8 games or so. Yeah, when you don't shoot 78% from 3 basketball isn't as fun, is it?

[hhcdave]

I've only got one thing to say about Creighton.

 

####ing losers.

[lanigan123]

Can't wait for this team to choke in second round. Player of the year no sweet 16 lol

[huskerhook]

I'm not seeing gtown as a tournament team. The win muddies the water I guess though. It will interesting to see how the selection committee views the new big east. they need a win vs. Nova to be even in conference and have some good wins and real bad losses. I don't see how this win makes them an equal or better candidate then nebrasketball. Creighton definitely has some stuff to figure out...which is amusing

[colhusker]

The guys doing the game last night said that the teams in the Big East may have figured Creighton out.  Let Dougie go off for 25 (he is still no Oscar Robertson) and cover Wragge.

G Town has 5 wins vs top 50 and NU has 3 wins?

Winning vs Creighton gives them the opportunity to be an at-large.  Winning at Villinova might do the trick.

They're not a whole lot different than us.  Neither of us can make it to the tournament by losing.

I'm not quite sure how many games next year I would put the over/under at before their fans start calling for Mcdermott's head.  Hell, if I was Mcdermott I would get out of town after this year as I think they are set up for a few down years coming up.  Losing the best player in college basketball is not easy...in addition to what they have left over on their roster it will be a tough pill for Jays fans to swallow next year after watching D Mcdermott work his magic the past few years.  Watching the game last night the Gtown coaches at half said it best...."They don't have the athletes to stay with us on the offensive end....either they don't want to play defense or they can't."  That will become even more apparent next year.  There were times last night where Gtown got in the lane and the Creighton defender didn't even move...Gtown just went right around him.  Even with their terrible defense...if they get a good draw in the tournament they can still make a run...but they could be looking at facing someone like Louisville second round now.

Georgetown has a slight edge on ask if you ask me for this simple reason: Kansas State, VCU. We don't have any decent non-conference pelts.

[KZRider]

We can play our way in without Creighton's help so I don't mind that they lost. Actually, as I inventory the deep inner workings of my psyche, I LIKE IT that they lost! It is almost on par with how much I like it whenever Texas loses at anything.

[GoBigRed]

As I said last night...since Feb. 6:

 

 

Creighton is 5-3 (outscored opp by 31 pts) (and of their 5 wins, they trailed in the final minute in one and escaped another on a missed last second shot)

Nebraska is 6-1 (outscored opp by 50 pts)

 

We've had a soft schedule and they've had a brutal stretch? Not really...our average opponent RPI is 96, theirs is 84. Not much different.

 

I realize we probably won't make the tournament and they will. But it's fun watching their special season come crashing down.

So much for that Big East title Bluebird fans, looks like your "Dream Season" is heading down the crapper.  Has anyone checked on Tom Shatel in the last 24 hours?
