Just gonna be a long day if MU doesn't get back on transition defense. CU running full speed after MU misses, which so far been quite a few with no makes outside the paint.

Now it's the three point defense, the same old double teams, then like announcer said, MU going in "scramble mode". Every single game. 

Just stupid fouls and turnovers, but MU still in lead. Unreal.  These turnovers are just deadly now.

Announcers made an interesting point about the defense being good in front of the Marquette bench and terrible on the other end.  Creighton will adjust at halftime, and the players will be unable to hear the coaches calling out the defenses.  Placards?

13 of CU points from free throw line.

MU with 9 turnovers, 3 by Cheatham, 2 by JJJ

Fischer had 9 points, 6 rebounds, 5 blocks..albit with Patton out, but fantastic so far.

Hauser scoreless and Howard with 2. 

No Watson, Patton played 5 fives and Hegner is hurting bad with leg injury.  Lets see if MU finally has the fortitude to win one with a second half lead. 
Title: Re: Creighton game thread
Post by: Smokin' Jae on January 21, 2017, 02:33:09 PM
I know that Cheatham is out there for defense but I think he's hurting the offense more than he is helping defensively

Zierden is just a plain shooter and is not Watson.  But, he has 9 points and when MU up by 13, he hit a wide open three that cut it to 10.  That was a huge shot. Can't leave Zeiden to cover another guy, they will just outlet pass back to him.  But then again, thats the MU defense philosophy.

Patton on bench was big, so lets get him back there and maybe control Foster, who is just a player.

Cheatham might be the most unclutch player in MU history
Dont know why rowsey isnt in for him. Better free throws better offense better handling

Never a doubt. This one was decided the moment Watson went down.

I don't believe that -- we played a team that was pretty equal to us and won on the road.  Good game

Said a different way we have similar kenpom ratings to Pitt and mich and couldn't pull it out.

Credit to the boys and Wojo!

If I were a Creighton fan, I'd be ticked they wasted 30 seconds around the minute mark.

Great win! Not how we want to close it out, but it counts just the same. Plus, we got over the hump I think. This should help down the road.

At no point during this game have I felt concerned that Creighton would win. Patton getting his fourth only increases that confidence. I think we get this. Anyone know the last time we beat a top-10 team on the road? [/kissofdeath]

Velazquez tweeted out that Wojo compiled and watched all the film of Creighton without Watson this year. When I saw that, I knew we had this. Not sure why, but I never had a doubt.

Watching Creighton today, their biggest problem was that they tried to be the same team without Watson they were with him. Early on it worked, they got those transition baskets after our makes, and Mintz was doing great going up and down the court, but they were never going to be the same team. Players weren't getting the ball where they were used to, the offense just couldn't adapt. And in the second, once we got them down, there was no one to lead them back.

I saw all the panic on Twitter when Creighton started to get some baskets late, but personally, I never had a doubt. That said, I had severe doubts when we were up 5 on Wisconsin at the half and up 16 on Butler at the half. This one just felt different.

LOL All good...but thanks for the answer. How quickly I forget. Just a massive win today. Had Watson been there, I have no doubt we lose by double-digits. Changed their game just enough.

Wondering if or when MU has ever scored 100+ on the road against a ranked (let alone top ten) opponent.

Not ranked, but March 9, 2016 at St. John's ...101 points at MSG.  That was the only road win in at least 16 years where MU scored 100. 

In the Final Four year (2003), MU scored 101 against Miizzu and won at a neutral NCAA site (# 25). 

More history with this team.  This time it is positive.

Just watched the game on dvr. Would thought by the comments here that we got our butts kicked. Instead we led a top ten by double digits most of the game and won at their place. Our fans really need a tourney appearance slump buster.
