Feel like this game is getting short shrift tonight on an MU basketball message board of all places. I'm still pretty excited to watch it given this young team's (non-linear) development over the course of the year, the chance to play in the NIT, and our faint hopes for an NCAA berth (don't bash, I said faint).
That being said, let's get some predictions tonight. Score/top scorer?
MU-65
Creighton-70
Play'em tight but get burned by the 3 down the stretch. Cheatham continues his torrid stretch with 19.
Warriors win 75 - 68.
Creighton refuses to take the floor after half time and forfeits, down 62-2. Creighton's lone bucket comes after Henry blocks a Watson layup attempt so hard it bounces off Matt Heldt's crutches and back into the basket. Obviously.

Its too bad you have to give the disclaimer...but I understand why...there are a lot of "bashers" on this board. Show a little hope and
BAM!
I'm still hoping on an NCAA at-large bid until the math is final...
along those lines....MU 71, CRE 67
MU had their chance against these guys in MKE. Caught them on a bad shooting night and couldn't seal the deal.
Jays by 12.
I think it'll be a good game. Hope we win. Should have beat them in Milwaukee.
Things would look oh so different right now with that W and the Depaul W at home. 8-6 with four to go. Oh well.

I feel you.
I don't know if I agree with the prediction for tonight's game, but I 100% agree that MU had their shot in Milwaukee and Wojo and crew blew it. Creighton is who we thought they were and we let em off the hook!
Just win baby.

You should change your name to Denny Green.
Going to be an excellent game in Omaha tonight. The key for us is to get out to enough of a lead to take their big crowd out of the game.
Against all logic, against all reason, against every rational thought in my brain, I am feeling an upset tonight.

You've adequately defined a "feeling."
We win, period. 8-)
Team takes the obligatory post 'Sacar is out for not following the rules' lecture about taking care of business in class, personal life and on the court to heart and build an 18 point lead before barely hanging on for a 1 point victory.

Now that was a good feeling.

How about you get them more often?
