Bluejays a dangerous well coached Big East squad. Need to stay focused on D and moving the ball.

A weird matchup with both teams have advantages offensively.
Marquette guards should be able to bully CU guards, but CU has the ability to get hot from deep over the top. Also gotta prevent Kalkbrenner from getting too many easy ones. They utilized the lob more than I recall with him last night and it was really effective.
I'll say MU is a 7.5 point favorite.
The bad (Scheier)man can't hurt us anymore. Last season he scored 23 and 26 in our home and away games against Creighton, respectively. So I'm glad we won't be seeing him again.
The dependence on shooting and lack of size/physicality reminds me of our matchup against Purdue. I think this game will go similarly.
Steven Ashworth had 10 turnovers by himself vs SJU. If he even approaches that number vs MU, we will see another 28pt win on Fri.
Knight and Day difference.

The route to where exactly?
haven't seen a line yet on this game...any thoughts?
o/u 148
MU -6.5
final score MU 75-67
our defense will continue to frustrate opponents. we will win more decisively than final score appears as creighton will try to close out strong making a 3 pointer in the last few seconds of done deal
A little concerned about how we matchup with Kalkbrenner. He has only been called for 12 fouls this season and 0 in Big East play through 3 games which both seem pretty ridiculous.
That being said, MU by 11.
I'm very concerned.

We didn't have any trouble scoring on them last year.
Besides Creighton going on an absolute heater from three, the one aspect of the matchup that I could see causing problems would be MU's switching, and the potential for guards to get cheap fouls when switched onto Kalkbrenner.
Quote from: BM1090 on January 02, 2025, 10:22:47 AMWe didn't have any trouble scoring on them last year.
Ya I'm not really worried about scoring, it's the way we matchup with Kalkbrenner on the other end...and he doesn't get called for fouls so he may play nearly the whole game.
I don't think he will be nearly enough to win CU the game so they will also have to be hitting from outside. Like MU by double digits. Every night usually is, but this feels like a really really good Kam Jones spot.

It's become obvious Schierman was their MVP the last two years. Mason Miller was expected to replace his three point shooting and has been a total bust. Losing Issacs is huge, he could have checked Kam. Ross will have a total mismatch being defended by Ashworth, as there is no way McDermott will put him on Kam.
My key to the game is to avoid James Breeding.
I'm also looking at Stevie to set the Marquette single season steal record if he can notch 54 in the game.

Agree on Scheierman, and he always played well against us in particular. Not sure on his numbers but McAndrew looks like a pretty solid player from the eye test. Neal looks solid as well. I still think MU should be able to cause a lot of problems for them in the TO category.

Got it. You were talking about fouls so I assumed you were worried about CU's defense.
I'm sure he'll get some easy buckets but I think we're better suited to guard him this year than in the past, and I think we prevent more mismatches for them than in the past too.
Pressure the ever-loving crap out of Ashworth. Don't leave guys wide open at the 3-point line. Let Kalk get his.

This. Stevie ate Ashworth alive both games last year. Throw Chase at Neal, and guard the three point line. Do what Hurley did against Purdue last year (Although Kalk is obviously no where as good as Edey was).

What's the vibe on Zugic from Creighton fans? From the little I know, he was hyped as being one of their better players and has been a complete non-factor in the first two games while playing minimal minutes. Maybe they are more patient than us, but I don't think that would go over well here in a similar situation. Hopefully this isn't his breakout game since we should be pretty familiar with the rest of the team. Btw, why is Mason Miller having such a terrible year? Anyway, should be a great crowd tonight and excited for this one.

I think people generally overestimate the quality of the European clubs players like Zugic come from. I remember when we were nervous that UCLAs 7 foot Turk was deemed eligible right before our game last season. He was a non factor and has been meh over two seasons now. X got a trio of touted transfers from Europe last season and all of them ended up coming off the bench for a bad team by the end of the season. I fell for it this summer when were recruiting Maxi Langenfeld from Germany. I thought he would push for 6th or 7th man minutes here. He's currently glued to a bench in Boca Raton. I think Zugic may fall into this category

Brutal start
3 clanks. Gold not even ready to shoot on the 1st possession
Creighton getting good looks at will
The dreaded 28 secs of awesome defense
Ben's was the only shot worked for. Have to move the ball
Kam's gonna need to score a bunch today. Gotta get going.
Another slow start
We need highly efficient(shooting) Kam back.
Insane pass falling down there. Stevie got spooked by Kalk but stayed calm and found Jop.
We suck
Kalkbrenner playing drop coverage on..... Stevie.
Ashworth got free on that three attempt but Stevie looks locked in on D tonight (chase as well). I think he'll wear him down and start forcing some turnovers.
Gotta drive on them then kick out when needed. Draw some fouls on these guys. Work the ball. We can do this.

Let's go now!
The foul on Zaide was...??
Tuesday wasnt quite the turning point yet
Zaide two wide open bricks in a couple possessions
Have to make those if Kam is going to be a passer
Kam also gotta start making 3s. 20% his last 6 coming into today

This teams ceiling is solely dependent on ever finding a way to make wide open looks
I'm not asking for 21/31 Wisconsin type games
But man we gotta start having more 12/25 games with the looks we generate.
Finally. Wide open, knock them down. These are practice triples.

We aren't a good 3 point shooting team. We are good at getting a lot of shots and ultimately making enough to win. They will likely only have really good 3 point shooting games on rare occasions. That's just who we are.
Just gotta start playing our game.
Seems like the more open they are the less likely they are to make
Ww haven't generated turns which leads to our spurtability. Time to amp it up.
Does Pharham ever not shoot?
DO!!
Look at this extremely balanced officiating
We gotta start drawing some fouls. Creighton getting to the line
Ouch.

The only thing I wanted was him to shoot it better so Owens didn't have to clean it up
But wide open straight on from 6 feet. I want every player going no hesitation
There we go Stevie!!!
One foul on Creighton. Unreal
I think Stevie got a warning for being a polite young man trying to hand the ball to the nice referee
Stevie!!!
Stevie not getting a lot of respect for Creighton's D. He needs to make them pay.

And Royce adjusting on Kalk, Kalk just literally does not get called for fouls. He's the anti Theo rep. At this point you're just not gonna get it if you go against him.
Great finish by Royce.
Also, I'm not saying it was a foul only saw it live. But just an example
Has Creighton really done anything to be called for a foul? I don't remember anything
It's time to get Kam going.
Alright parham needs to chill now
Brick!
Stevie!
Now that was a bad shot by RP.
Thatta boy Stevie.
Cmon Kam
His 3 pt shot is non existent.
Parbrick taking over from Gold.
Kam missing everything.
Everybody missing open looks
Now Kam is just forcing wild 2s because he has no confidence from 3
Kam my man take a breath
Damn. Kam just can't buy one.
Jones going o for.
We have many fouls, they have few
He's forcing way too much.
Freaking brick city out there.
Rough line up
This is embarrassing right now
Every single guy is forcing up the first look they get
We got Owens drivign 3 on 1 and tossing it off the back board
Zaide launching bricks
Royce barely hitting backboard
My god
That was an awful lineup on the floor offensively. Lots of bad decisions by the frosh. Brick city. Kam has been terrible
Brutal.
Play random eh
Also I know Kam has to sit and its best when he's in his head
But wtf was that lineup Shaka. That was asking for instant pain
Shot selection has been oddly awful. We also seem to be a step slower on defense.
Need halftime to catch breath and regroup.
Kam's not going to have 0 pts the whole game. If MU was CU we would be saying a 3 point lead is not good enough at this point
Horrible shooting
Stevie is keeping us in the game. Man. Missing lots of shots and no calls on Creighton - unreal. We will start hitting soon.... Let's Go Marquette!!
Paging Kameron Jones. Paging Kameron Jones.

We're struggling in our h-c offense right now vs drop coverage. Way too much dribbling, bricking open threes, and not changing pace when we do get into the paint and playing off of two feet. Move the fking basketball .
Nm
Out of time out
Chase casually dribbles out of bounds all on his own(literally never seen it before)
Then Ben back to back TOs'
Down 8
Absolutely pathetic basketball.
Ben playing like he's 5'9
WTF was that???
to look so dominant 3 days ago and so incompetent today.. ugh
Ben can GTFO off the court if he's gonna dribble like a 2nd grader

Huge shot. Maybe thaf gets him going.
Stevie is the one tonight

Couple of chip calls to make the numbers look better but no FT's for MU.
Big response by MU.
How can that not be an offensive foul???
That's an F1
How do they miss that live???

So we basically got screwed cause they were blind on the live play
A "dumpster fire" results in a halftime lead. Alrighty then
Can't complain about a four point halftime lead, after how sloppy they played most of the first half.
Lowery has missed shots he needs to make but he definitely is looking more confident offensively and he and Stevie are going to wear ashworth out
Definitely will need to be better to win this one, but a lead is a lead I suppose.
We are way better. Play competent this half and roll it up
Great job by ZL there. All things considered, we're in decent shape.
Great hustle last 8 seconds to score! Way to be there Lowery! Good drive chase. Still can't believe the no-call when he hit chase in the throat. Ugh. Go Marquette!

And we didn't get to the line. But I agree with PG, we're better. Come out with tremendous intensity, force, and power in the 2H. Wear them down, attack with zero mercy.
These announcers are idiots. Saying the Creighton guys elbow was a "basketball play"
WTF is that. Whether he had any intent ir not, it is a foul. What a circle jerk by the dipstick announcer and the refs
Like the hustle all half. Some more efficiency in second half is needed.
We just really need Kam to find his shot. That's his issue as point Kam right now
As an actual play maker? Still near flawless. 5 dimes. 0 Tos. And I'm guessing we had about 5 wide open misses on his passes meaning 7-8 dimes was more his output

I think once he gets into the paint he can plant with two feet and do some damage in the 6 foot range.
Didn't go so well when the scrubs were in.
Maybe I was wrong about Gtown.
We've established that picks can be set by hips and elbows to the face are a "basketball play". I have no reason to think the calls in the second half will not be consistent.

Kam is in the building
Well-officiated 1st half imo
Kam has left the building
Good 7 seconds for BG
Gonna be honest
Had absolutely no idea who Jop was throwing that ball back to. Was pleasantly surprised to see Ben cutting through traffic
So you can still set a pick with a hip
Damn, Stevie missing the looks this half
But great job crashing the boards boys
We are just completely overwhelming them right now.
Stevie is a fu cking menace

Yeah. Stevie has to come back in.
Quote from: CountryRoads on January 03, 2025, 09:31:48 PMStevie goes out Creighton immediately cuts the big lead in half.
No box out from Tre.
My fault. I was typing a derogatory post about #1 and Creighton went on a run. Fear not, I deleted it before posting. I won't type anymore posts about Creighton's fine players
Damn, head back in ass
Need Stevie
Joplin has 2 points
Mitchell needs to be back in. Most important player for MU.
We are competing with a Creighton run with Zaide and Royce 3s??
Cmon.
WTF.
OMG another from Zaide
And they drill it
12-0 run
SUB SHAKA
This is ridiculous
That was rare negligence by Shaka
What in the world
Shaka sat Stevie too long.
15 to 3 just like that.
I haven't been more certain of a 3 going in when Creighton's guy was shooting since Stevie was shooting the 3 on Kam's triple double. I didn't like this one as much
It's Zaide Lowery time!
Narrator: it was not Zaide Lowery time
We were up 15. No excuse for this. We need to turn it back on now. Let's Go Marquette!
Lowery 1-6 from 3. There's a reason they don't guard him. Missed 6 in a row
Go on a huge run with big plays by Stevie on both ends. Give up a 9-0 run with him on the bench. Not subbing him back in after the timeout was a strange decision.
Well that didn't last long. Not impressed with some of these lineups from Shaka. Royce and Lowery in at same time is not good and they should not be primary shooters. Had them on ropes and the quit doing what was working
MU bench players are hurting MU this half. Terrible shots and no D. Time for them to go back to the bench.
Boy this team gives up big leads. Hoping they get it back together on defense.
Mitchell 2-6 from 3; they don't guard him too
They were wide open looks by ZL abd RP but I get the frustration.
Quote from: Warrior of Law on January 03, 2025, 09:38:25 PMLowery 1-6 from 3. There's a reason they don't guard him. Missed 6 in a row
His shot is fine. 3 of the 5 misses were right there. Great form on the shot..he's gotta shoot it and stay confident.
I have to believe Shaka is limiting Stevie because of his injury. It just doesn't make sense otherwise.
What are they even calling on that???
If anything Kalk went over the back
Mr Over the back
We create wide open threes. The issue is that we're very inconsistent.
Ben has to be tougher.
Throw Kalk out. Dirty play.
So how many times has kaulbrenner been BE defensive player of the year? I wish the announcers would let us know
Kalk ACL tear would bring tears to my eyes
Attack the rim with Kalky out.
Let's go now.
Back to launching up bricks
Kam and Stevie forcing
What is going on
They're getting baited into taking quick threes.
Quote from: PGsHeroes32 on January 03, 2025, 09:43:23 PMKalk ACL tear would bring tears to my eyes
Would burn Amadou's redshirt to do it
Just such a frustrating game so many wide freakin open missed shots
How often does a team lose a game in which they have a 25.3 run?
We might be seeing it tonight.
Creighton's tiredness, not guarding the 3 point line is leading MU to taking the 3 pointers instead of driving. Unfortunately, it's working for them
3 point shooting is going to be how we get eliminated in March. Creighton playing a darn good game though overall.
Buckle up!
Mitchell's last two 3's were bad shots and led to Creighton fast break points.
Quote from: mugrad_89 on January 03, 2025, 09:47:04 PMThey're getting baited into taking quick threes.
Yep. And with Kalky out of the game there is zero reason not to move the ball and attack the rim. Incredibly frustrating.
10/30 from 3. Feels like about 20 of the attempts have been unguarded spot-ups.
Stevie has to be just gassed..he's playing so freaking hard. Kam probably a little gassed too. I'm surprised Ashworth has generally held up okay as far as limiting turnovers. Tip the cap to Creighton as they are battling their ass off too.
Mitchell is 2-8 from 3. It's like Giannis, they dare him to shoot
Gotta play our game rest of the way .
Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on January 03, 2025, 09:47:55 PM3 point shooting is going to be how we get eliminated in March. Creighton playing a darn good game though overall.
Buckle up!
It's also understanding good and bad threes as well. But we're a very inconsistent 3 pt shooting team. We shoot them much better in transition. In the h-c it's a total crapshoot.
Kalk stuck on sidelines
Ben "I'ma just commit a foul 75 feet from basket"
Redemption on the block tho
Quote from: Norm on January 03, 2025, 09:48:07 PMMitchell's last two 3's were bad shots and led to Creighton fast break points.
Mitchell has no business jacking all those 3s
We just cant make open shots
Kam.
Gets a little heater going. 3 misses.
4 fouls on Chase now
Awful call by Breeding. It's hard to beat Inbreeding and Breeding in the same game.
And now the fouls set in.
Do the refs ever allow any teams to guard Kalky? You move near him and it's a foul.

It's beyond frustrating. Wide freaking open.
That's a clean strip and a jump ball.
Getting called for the softest crap right now.
Cmon Jop
Moronic foul
They have possession arrow. In the bonus. Guy with ball has missed 1 free throws all year
Just no worth it. Ever
Did that say #1 was 98% FT shooting?
Stevie should get credited with a steal for that

Feel like I've seen ashworth travel Jop style like 4 times
I know every single injury in the NFL for this weekend.
It can't only be Kam down the stretch.

Agreed.
Just dumb free two point for CU

Stupid foul by Stevie there - he's gassed and making bad decisions the last 10 min of the game.
This is a master class in not closing out a game
Get a stop up 7. Have a chance to work towards the kill.
End up with a Jop forced 3. Stevie fouls the 98% free throws shooter on the rebound
What in the fu ck guys
That would've been a nice one for Joppy to hit.
Instead of 10 it turns into probably 5 after the FTs.
Really dumb foul by Stevie
My goodness. Can't just give that guy free points.
Stupid foul there by Mitchell. Quit putting them on the FT line.

No doubt. It's beyond belief how many seemingly good looks we've bricked.
Mitchell's 2nd half has been painful and may cost a game
Both teams to be fair have been bad from distance.
Another no contact foul on Kalky.,why do refs feel they have to protect a 7 footer?
Why is Kaulbrenner fighting Ross and Stevie for the boards and Ben is guarding the 3 pt line?
Damn we're lucky ash is 1/11
We just rush so many damn shots. Kam had that look. Stevie had that put back by grabbing it
Don't blame Kalk cause he wasn't ready.
Kaulbrenner infinitely increasing his Big East game fouls this game
Ashworth travels. A lot.
Death, taxes and this team bricking the front end
Free throw shooting at end of games is really gonna cost us at some point
Stay poised if they hit a 3. Don't falter.
Kalkbrenner killing us on boards. Gold needs to get his ass in there to mix it up.

Good thing K sucks
Take advantage now. Execute!
Gold has no concept on how to block out Kalkenbeaner

True, but the 3s they take are usually very open and they still don't make em.
Frustrating because it feels like they are more than capable.

I completely agree. I can't even describe my frustration.
The was unbelievable defense before the timeout
That was a terrible call from Creighton to go zone there. Incredible D from our guys on the other end. Wow.
Amazing defense
The defense on this last possession. Outstanding.
Finally jop to save us
Fucking amazing defense...absolute heart on this possession.
Jop! Stud!!
Wow. Take your time Creighton. Ty.
Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on January 03, 2025, 10:11:14 PMThe defense on this last possession. Outstanding.
Unbelievable.
The fact they had to use their last TO with 20 seconds already off the shot clock is just beautiful.

Doesn't happen often. McDermott owns Shaka
Just woke up, what happened?
Good teams find ways to win on off nights.
Now we knew they would pack the paint but Kalky makes it difficult to score inside.
That said, we're a much better team when we have a balanced scoring attack and exercise a bit more patience.
On the defensive end, MU did an excellent job tonight.

He disrupted Kalk shot shortly before. Kalk missed a lot tonight. 4 for 11. Got his point on the line.

Quote from: Newsdreams on January 03, 2025, 10:24:53 PMOh fck, they had their heads up their rectums again?
Shaka, too
All of you will be thrilled to know that Muggsy will be checking in periodically over the next 2.5 weeks from Singapore, Indonesia, and Japan.
Hopefully someone brings it in the game thread and the motivation and focus is still there.
Don't worry everyone, I have mapped the closest embassy to each one of our pub crawls
Quote from: Uncle Rico on January 03, 2025, 10:27:21 PMShaka, too
I feel MU should be called the Bricking Eagles.
Ugh but a win. Way too many CU fans in the house. a holes behind me before the tip stated McDermott is the best coach in the BE, top 4 and a discussion maybe. Thank god they left at halftime.
The moms' night promotion was great! Really fun and heartwarming.
Anyone see a link to Mrs. Jolp and the national anthem?

You new here? #FTSNOMATTA
Did TV explain why the under 8 timeout happened at 8:18 after the Stevie "delay of game?" I thought Creighton took a timeout, but they took 5 total last night.
