Gonna be a tough one. Maybe we'll be surprised. Go MU.
The To's just gonna continue...
I want to like the black uniforms but just can't. I think the yellow on the shorts is what kills it for me. Well that and the fact it's not one of our colors.
Geez Creighton is a good passing team.

The championship blue as the name and number colors makes them for me.
The To's are comical
Are they black or navy?
It would be nice if we could get some sort of reasonable shot off one of these times.
Last 4 possessions
2 missed free throws
2 TOs
End of shot clock desperation heave.
If we had any fundamentals we'd be really good. We get the necessary stops
I mean Jamal and Greg falling with the ball is compelling but watching the ball go in the hoop is better
I would've guessed we were down like 18-3 based on this thread.
That foul call was a joke. Blew his whistle before anything even happened.
We got screwed on another call there
Unsustainable pace for us. Playing their game right now
Need ball handlers. No elite ball handlers. So we must make the most of what we have. Try to limit off balance dives. They approach and we are backing up. Must make them foul us
the unis😎🔥

We almost have to tho.
When we slow it down we end up at the end of the shot clock and either fall over driving or chuck up a desperation heave.
We have been scoring better trying to get into the offense quickly
Shooting well so far
Can't give Ballock two chances. Misjudged a rebound and it lead to 3
Garcia is a freshman and plays like a freshman
Dawson is a complete liability offensively in the paint right now.
Hes worse than Sacar on lay ups.
Lets get Justin some post ups
Right down Broadway again.

Really? because he missed one layout?
Justin great rebound, but you can't bring it down right into the arms of the guy 4 inches shorter than you.
I thought we'd be doing a better job getting the ball inside.
Whoever does the list of thoughts after the game tonight's number one has to be mention that we have decent basketball announcers once again.
Need to stop the drives and we need to drive. Too much perimeter. We need to establish an inside game. Been a challenge for 6 years.

Because he is playing too fast. 1-4 and a turnover already. He'll be fine it is just going to take a bit.

Theo scored pretty easily when we gave him the ball
We've tried a couple times with Dawson but the guy is in his own head bad right now.
Pound it in! Lewis should be fed over and over
Nice to see a successful fast break!
That was great D that lead to transition. We need transition O.

I think it's a fair assessment on the small(ish) sample size so far
Koby needs to stop trying to draw fouls. He probably makes that heave if he just shots it straight up.
Separating...
Theo gets at least one foul a game, not because he did anything wrong, but simply because he is bigger and stronger than others.
Theo works so hard down there and never gets fed. No wonder he commits an offensive foul trying to get even more space.
They are making us pay on every single rare O rebound.
absolutely cannot give them offensive rebounds and 2nd opportunities.
Garcia is really, really struggling. Has done just about nothing against quality competition
feels like CU and ucla get/got so many more open 3s then we do. ball habdlers who can drive and kick like crazy.
Bluejays move the rock faster than MU's eyes can follow it, aina?

Agreed, but Creighton's defense against us is to stop us from getting the ball inside. The backside help is sagging completely over to block entry passes/double if it gets inside.
It also doesn't help that today is the day Ballock decides to start shooting.....and making.
THat was an absolute bomb.
MU doesn't get players the ball in a position to score. Late to the post, off the mark quite often. Just frustrating to watch guys miss their opportunity to feed the post. I dislike Wojo
Ballock is obnoxious.
Turn out the lights .............
Again a spirited defensive effort but limited on the other end. McDermott rans at Koby when the ball in is his hands. Knows a bad pass will follow. I'm upping my Carton minutes per game up to 35+.
That would have been a charge call at UCLA.
The thin bench will come back to haunt us. Can't have a roster of 11 that includes 3 projects

Have a good night
BOOB's still a problem.
Take away the 3 and Creighton's offense completely shuts down. We've done that on quite a few possessions but they are making some bombs the times we don't. Gonna be tough to win this one...Justin is playing strong tonight, feed him and Theo!
Lewis is about the only MU player who seemingly knows how the game played, hey?
It would be nice if we could use our size to our advantage
Way to many forced 3 point shots off the dribble. Get a paint touch...
Justin right now is a considerably better all around player than Dawson.
If JL can learn how to make free throws consistently(considering his solid touch on jumpers) he will be unstoppable.
kobe needs to take more highly contested 3s off the dribble..
Ballack is having the game of his life and drilling everything
And we leave Ballock wide open. Really??
Justin Lewis is clearly our best freshman. Might just be our best player. Should be getting 25-30 mpg.
unnatural carnal knowledge that dude. Absolute scrub who hasn't done crap all year.
That behind the back pass was something.
Man, that last 40 seconds...ugh.
Poor shot on a unnecessary long 3 by Koby followed by a killer 3 by Ballock at the horn.
Man that was a helluva pass. Gotta tip your hat.

Yeah assuming no foul trouble. The offense needs to run through him and he needs to be on the floor for at minimum 25 min like you said
Asskickin', hey?
Crazy pass at the end. They are good but will miss some of those looks. Need several others to pick it up outside of Lewis.

No credit to Creighton, right?
Creighton has better ball handlers, makes smart crisp passes leading to wide open threes, and does not turn the ball over. They only have two TOs. The wide open threes from the corners are killing MU.
Garcia's got to step up his game. He's not playing against smaller high school kids anymore.
Quote from: MUfan12 on December 14, 2020, 08:54:46 PM

I don't see us playing bad defense. I see an incredible, well-oiled, offense. There's really no defense for what they're doing.
Creighton is good and tough to defend. But if defense is going to be our calling card, we have to do the little things. Need to close out (Jamal has been a step slow all half) and rotating. The commitment needed to be a defensive minded team is not there
Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on December 14, 2020, 08:55:25 PM
No credit to Creighton, right?
They're doing what they do every year. They haven't adjusted any screen coverages, haven't tried token pressure to slow the tempo...
Chasing and switching is the desired outcome for them. They want Zeg and Ballock with Theo on them.
Creighton moves the ball as crisp as any team I've seen in a long time. They have a feel for each other and for what to do, where and how to pass. Very impressive.

Yep - been saying the same things for several games now.
This is a MUCH better team than Wisco. There is a reason we were a touchdown underdog. I don't think Marquette has played particularly poorly, but if Creighton's shooters are playing well....that's a big hill to climb
As hot as they are, the TO's are the difference.

?
We are supposed to make our focus stopping 35 footers from Ballock???
D has been fine. We let up a couple inexcusable offensive rebounds that burned us instantly. But hte D has been solid. Creighton is just really really good and they get a lot of possessions playing fast.
AC/DC has new material? Jesus.

Yeah thats the crazy thing. We played WIsco at 4 and this team is at 9.
Creighton so much more deserving of their ranking.

You been living under a rock the last month?
McEwen seems lost out there
Remember when Greg randomly didnt get off the bnech for the entire first half of Ok State???
He's been a really solid bench guy this year. Keep giving him minutes.
Even when theyre heavily contested they cannot miss. It's so obnoxious.
is creighton stops hitting everything might be intersting down the strectch
I think both teams are playing really well. Creighton is absurd shooting the ball, just ridiculous. Could certainly do without the amount of turnovers, but MU is competing at a high level tonight.
If we play every single one of our other 18 non Creighton BE games like the first 25 minutes of this one. We are gonna be just fine.
THese bastards just hit everything and don't turn it over.
Much better out of the half. Playing them more straight up, not as much panic switching. They've hit some tough ones.
Greg!
Attaboy Greg!
Cmon DJ.
Inexusable TO after getting a nice stop and chance to take a lead.
Elliott giving off some Reggie Miller vibes with this shooting.
Now that was a dime DJ!!!
LFG MU!
Lets fu*king go
Nice pass. DJ made up for a lazy TO.
I very much enjoy the lack of artificial crowd noise, love hearing screens called out and jawing back and forth.
Hanging tough! I'm liking the grit and D more and more. Sloppy at times with the ball but we're no pushovers.
We're handling that high double fairly well, and it's giving us openings when we get past it.
Um, Koby?
Man Carton can get up.
Would have been huge if he was able to hammer that home.
Gahhhh Koby you gotta hit that pass.
But we keep the ball.
We are buzzing right now. Cmon boys.
greg going crazy out there
These refs are very good so far. No ticky tacky calls. Seem pretty even each way.
MU gets the benefit of another replay review in Omaha, that could be key at the end.
Also, MU was +2200 at one point in the first half in live betting.
Psyched. Let's play 40 min. Tonight.
What are these flop calls jesus
Ball don't lie.
Maybe time to give Greg a breather.
Creighton in the bonus now. Gotta watch the fouling.
Elliott was asking for that, IMHO. Nice kid, but he does the Reggie Miller thing a lot.
Shoot 5 straight calls against mu. Momentum seems to be swinging away
McDermmott should just take the mask off.
Never seen a 2x double flop T.
Very impressive playing toe to toe with a top 10 team. Doing this with a very tight rotation early in the season.
For those who've been saying this is Wojo's most talented team, I think we're only 7 deep..

That one referee is now looking for Greg. (Though admittedly it absolutely was a clear charge on him)
Keep it to halfcourt possessions. Bang it inside and get to the line just like Dawson did. We have a strength advantage and better post players. Justin Lewis time!

Careful, Greg, don't get another T! Excellent outback!
Its amazing to watch an athletic Marquette team again.
Greg feeling himself a bit. Have to be careful creighton can turn it in quick. Keep going down low on them!
Damn that was a good play for them right outta the TO
Yeah I'm gonna reserve judgment on the refs going forward.

I don't think so. But I would take there last time out away with 8 minutes for a possession.
Alright its now a foul on us every single time now
Ball don't lie
Nice shot by carton. But Jeeeez they need to get back on defense.
Ugly force by McEwen but luckily Creighton playing sloppy and a great look by McEwen.
Fu cking Ballock hitting absolute bombs.

If you think it's because of one missed layup then you haven't been watching him play so far
Took about 35 minutes for this post to look silly
need good d here the last 5 mins
Justin looking a little loss on D there.
Zone will not work for creighton..no size
So, we figured out at least a 1-3-1 zone. That's nice.
We let them heat up again when they kept quickly answering our buckets.
Justin has got to start making his free throws.
Its a 4 pt game...
Slow down. Focus.
Gonna be a tight finish
It's great seeing the physicality and toughness inside. That's BEast basketball!
Both sides can't buy a free throw though...
It's gonna be a nailbiter!
intensity intensifies
Look to the 3pt corner/short corner on a 1 3 1.
Bring Theo back in after TO
Quote from: jesmu84 on December 14, 2020, 09:52:42 PM

Yep. We need to be a little more patient against the zone. See if we can get the ball in the high post.
Be calm.
I give Wojo credit for his adjustments and pounding the ball inside in 2nd half but it feels like the officials want to decide this one for Creighton. Jesus they get all the calls.
(https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/tdn-content/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/02172059/tenor.gif)
Don't know if these kids can finish.
just unbelievable
This is a disaster.
Koby with the ball in his hands. We cant buy a call. Carton bumps the guy. Foul.
Koby got mauled
If that's a foul on Carton, then McEwen was also fouled.
Kick it out Dawson OMG.
Our rythmn is gone
omg
Yea Dawson should have kicked out
Officiating is a disaster. This is some bullshit
Lets go!!!
LFG!!!!!!!!!!
Make your free throws!!! And lets win this baby!
stressful finish. garcia making some plays
Dawson coming up big time
WHAT A FLURRY! WARRIOR PRIDE right there!! Close it out boys!
Fu cking Koby jesus ch rist dude
Of course Ballock hits it too
fucki foul???
They fouled the crap out of McEwen again.
How do you not take a to there
Damn. As soon as you saw the ball headed to open Ballock you knew it was bottoms too
DJ's free throw shooting is ass
Thank you Jamal
Good hustle!
Now I REALLY don't like these refs!
These refs are complete ass
That was a massively BS call against Elliott.
That's a ridiculous bailout
These refs fucking hate GE
BDFL!
Yo these refs are fukking ass. Holy crap.
Please Justin
yessssss
Thank god for abysmal charity stripe work from the Jays
Absolute joke of officiating. They're doing everything they can to give them a chance.
Creighton is 11-22 from the line.
These. Refs. Are. Laughable.
This is insanity
Not a foul
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Whew...
WELL FREAKING DONE!! FLY EAGLES FLY!!
Great performance, so fun to watch this team. This season should be a good time
NIT is now the basement boys!
That was a really impressive win. Hell yeah Warriors
FIRE WOJO

Ahem. Critique us when we lose rightfully so but how about celebrating when we succeed?
We were told to turn out the lights with 30 minutes left in the game
Ragged ending, but a fantastic win!
Tremendous second half effort. And how about the pair on Carton? Kid is f*cking nails.
They realized Creighton didn't want to attack closeouts to get layups, adjusted accordingly. Offensively realized that the blitz on the ball screens could be had if they were patient.
Great second half adjustments and the guys played their asses off. Well done, MU.
Made adjustments. Showed up. Gritty W on the road. Take it and run. Nice job tonight, team!
