I thought I was the jinx
« on: February 15, 2023, 08:26:46 PM »
1.  For 39:58.
2.   So loud when OMax tipped it in.
3.  Basically 6 players the whole second half.   Did not exploit MU's depth.
4.  I am going to have a beer with 77.  Natter amongst yourselves

I was waiting for Tower’s write up.  I forgot you were going tonight.  Way to bring home that win!

Shook my Florida neighborhood and May have woken the dead here.

That's it, Tower? Pathetic!

You're not allowed to go to any more games.

Played like crap, battled at the end, and won - that’s a good state of the program.

Every year you lose games you should win (Purdue. Bucky).

Every year you win games you should lose. Tonight was THAT game.

Nothing says we should have won tonight. Our shooting was awful. We were tentative. We were tight and our core wasn’t on its game.

We won anyway! Kudos to Shaka and to Stevie!

Do we think Kam just had a terrible game or is he dealing with some nagging injury or something?

Hopefully thats the worst he shoots the rest of the season. We need him to be consistent to make  deep runs

I think he’s fine. Just didn’t shoot well. Not worried about him at all right now.

And now, let's see a game next Tuesday when the team is running on all cylinders. Let's shoot the lights out, be decisive, play loose, and get back the the offensive efficiency that has been the hallmark of this team.

There is just no quit in this team. I wasn't confident they'd pull it out, as Xavier kept hanging around and Boum kept lowering the boom. But, I knew they'd fight to the end.

Nunge going for the block on Kam's drive allowed OMax to be left unblocked out. Both Kam and OMax epitomized the 'win anyway' mentality, as neither had decent games, but both were key at the end.

Tuesday's game should have a different feel. A lot less pressure on MU, as they won't be expected to win and a loss in Omaha won't hurt nearly as much as if they had lost tonight. I think they will be able to play in a more relaxed, loose way.

The rims are a lot softer at Creighton. Lots of threes going down I think.

This makes sense. Hope you are proven right!

+11 on Oboards, +10 on TOs, still took a last second tip to win. That’s how you overcome an incredibly poor shooting night from some of your good shooters.
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold.  He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.

I think we all have a little PTSD after that game.
