Creighton has 5 points in the last 8 min. Including a solid 4 min scoreless stretch out of the under 8 TO.  They have firepower but, like they have all season, they just disappear for long stretches. It’s baffling

Zegarowski has gone about four minutes without a shot and went a long stretch without even touching the ball.

Important 5-0 run there for CU but the strategy is odd to say the least.

I still don’t think McDermott has ever been a great in game coach. If Creighton lose this wouldn’t shock me to see Creighton and McDermott go their separate ways this offseason.

Was thinking the exact same. There were 2 possessions in a row where he just stood in one spot, hands on his knees, and didn't even move. Exhausted? Hurting? Just Creighton being effen weird?

(Unfounded) Conspiracy theory time! Do you think the NCAA underseeds 12 seeds intentionally and over seeds 5 seeds to fit their 12-5 matchup narrative?

He’s a perfect star for Creighton.  Very good, but vanishes inexplicably, just like their overall offense.

I think it’s simpler than that. 5 seeds are teams that usually stuck around the bottom of the top 25 all year.  Good but usually inconsistent, hence why they didn’t carry higher.  12s are usually the best mid majors and scuffling/bubble P6 schools.  Both have a lot of upside against teams that struggle with consistency.

Never a doubt!  Creighton moves the BEast to 2-1.

Bishop was cool as a cucumber on those FTs.  He is normally a horrible FT shooter.

I never thought Bishop would make both free throws.

Hah, ok.  I really do think this 4 team "pod" is a coinflip, with VA being the complete wildcard.  Ohio will probably be the S16 rep.

just classic creighton. did anyone seriosuly pic them to the S16?

I did.

I picked all four 5s to beat the 12s in the first round. They were 3-1, which is pretty much the norm over the last many years; 2019 was an anomaly.

I picked Creighton and Virginia to win their games, Creighton to beat Virginia, and the Gonzaga to thrash Creighton within an inch of their lives. Could Gonzaga possibly have had an easier bracket? I don't think so.

Despite doing well on the 12/5 games and a couple others, my bracket is wrecked because I picked San Diego State to go to the Elite 8. Oh well. Gotta pick some upsets - it's hard to pick the right ones!

I decided why not and picked Ohio.  Preston's journey is amazing.

Same. I have no idea what UCSB’s plan in the half court was. CU is annoying.
