Who a future opponents coach thinks may be their toughest opponent of the year

[49r]

Okay, I didn't want to talk a whole lot about the OU/Creighton game today, but, I did want to just throw this thought I had out there today.

 

Does anybody else feel like OU's second half meltdown last night was eerily similar to ours against OSU in the Big Ten tournament last year?

No, because tOSU was pretty good.

Our PPP in the second half was 1.2...Those around the program knew that Toby, IZ, James Millken were all capable of coming in and sticking jumpers but it has apparently shocked the nation that CU has more 3pt shooters after 3 of the most prolific shooters in program history graduated.... The offense still needs to find itself and become consistent, and when it does the average performance IMO will be closer to our second half showing than the first

I hardly think the nation is "shocked.".  I don't think the nation gives a rats ass about Creighton basketball if the horrific ratings the dumpster fire version of the Big East got last year on FS1 can be used as a guide.  This was with a guy regarded as the best in the nation(even though he wasn't).  The nation doesn't know or care that the Jays have some replacement three point shooters.

The nation is definitely shocked and super impressed that Creighton went 8-26 (30.8%) from 3-point range in a basketball game.

Last year's CU wouldn't have won against a top 20 team shooting that percentage...just more reason for optimism, plus the fact that a lot of our misses were clean looks in the first half

Are you okay?

Yeah why wouldn't I be?  Are you?  You are the guy that is a Creighton fan posting on the Nebraska message board.  So obviously you have a few screws loose.  And acting like the nation is shocked about Creighton's three point shooting is insane.  So you are the one people should be concerned about being okay.

Oh, okay. Yeah man I'm fine. This has been a much better than expected start for the Creighton basketball program. And for the Big East too! With Nova's wins against VCU and Michigan, Providence going 2-0 against ACC teams, and Butler's upset of UNC last night I think the conference has made a lot of the media types think about how quickly they dug a grave for the league last season. Because the tone of almost every single one of your posts addressed to me comes off as incredibly adversarial and toxic, I just wanted to make sure there was no bad blood between us

Small sample size of early season games.  Good start nonetheless though.  It will inflate the Big East RPI all year.  But when push comes to shove come the important time of the year, the same things will likely happen.  They won't be able to match up with the big boys.  Even the 2nd best in the Big East got destroyed when it matterd by high mid pack Big 12 school.  Since the conference has little credibility, I would be rooting like hell for it in these early season affairs if I were you as well.  So then you can say, wow look at our conference RPI.  It is so good.  Smart people don't fall for that garbage.  I know what is what.  I rely on Vegas numbers.  And the conference, while off to a good start is not an elite league.  I love that Creighton is rated.  While one of the most absurd things I have ever seen in any ranking, it will look good when Nebraska gets them pretty easily.  Vegas knows whats up.  We will be heavily favored and will win the game easily.

What is interesting?  The fact I said their rating was one of the most absurd ratings ever?  The fact that we will be heavily favored?  The fact that we will win easily?  The fact that the Big East will not be as good as the RPI suggests?  The fact that Vegas is smarter than Creighton trolls?  Curious what a Creighton troll thinks is interesting. 

 

What I find interesting is that we even play you.  Nothing but downside.  Been that way for years.  Found it incredibly humorous reading your garbage board on why you all don't want to play UNO.  No upside, all downside as they will take that game so seriously etc.  Well that is how it has been for Nebraska Creighton.  Creighton has taken this game more seriously for years, as they don't play in a power league.  Not sure why Creighton fans think we should play them, when they don't think they should play UNO.  Extremely hypocyrical.  And they were wise not to play UNO this year.  It very well may not have ended well.
