tough sequence there with a three out of the time out for Creighton followed up by the offensive foul by Jayce. They look a little out of sorts right now. Maybe the guys are still trying to adjust to not having Koby on the floor?

I'm happy to see Markus force the issue a little bit to end the half there. Every team is going to focus on him, and he needs to be able to find ways to get shots off. The rest of the team needs to be more effective, though. When Markus gets doubled, they need to be able to hit shots or get to the basket (and finish by the basket too!).

I just don’t understand how these Creighton players just blow past our guys.

Because we are prioritizing defending the three, clearly. We do need some help D though, but Creighton does a great job of spacing us out.

Typical sky is falling response....first conference game in a very tough environment against a good team. It's not going to be easy folks.

Shocked at Lappas's comment that Markus played about as bad as he could. I didn't see that at all. When he wasn't scoring because they were all over him defensively, he was getting guys wide open looks and didn't force anything. When he started forcing it a bit offensively, he scored a bunch in a row.

If Creighton stays hot and we don't defend better we're not going to pull this one out, but long way to go. Soft turnovers have to stop. Creighton definitely dictating things; our bigs are worthless in this game so far since they can't make Creighton pay for their small lineup.

I’m simply going off of his rankings.  Not saying they are correct.  I would say if you finish 6th or 7th in the BE you are average within the conference.  I think that’s a fair assessment.
Yet, that is not what Creighton has been so far this season, which makes his assessment as a hot take.

The fact that we can't take advantage of them doubling Markus every single time is just horrible.

How has Wojo not gameplanned for that? Every single guy on the team should be ready for those situations in every game we play. That's a big coaching miss IMO.

But there's a huge difference between a hard fought loss and getting taken to the woodshed. We look awful. No defense, too many TOs, low energy, and lots of mental mistakes. This performance wouldn't beat any Big East team, and that's not hyperbole. A lot of things need to improve for us to compete in the conference this year.

What is impressive to me is how much McDermott has improved as a strategy/game coach during his tenure at Creighton.  When he arrived he was pretty clueless... give the ball to his kid and step back.  After realizing Creighton is never going to attract high level talent he somehow learned how to coach.  Kudos to him.  He's making the BEAST better. 

I honestly thought he would last less than 2 years after Doug left.

So after one round of games through BE play, MU is the recipient of the biggest blowout loss, and if you really think about it, in theory, this SHOULD have been one of their easier road games(at least one where you wouldn't expect them to get blown out, like maybe at Nova or Hall or something) in the BE(yes, I know none are easy). So they have that going for them anyway.

That’s fine.  Cancel your tickets, end your donations, show them who is boss.

That should of happened in 1994 after the name change

I personally can’t wait until Jayce has a 4 point 4 rebound game and then everyone says he’s good again.  It’s coming soon. Trust me.

So after one round of games through BE play, MU is the recipient of the biggest blowout loss, and if you really think about it, in theory, this SHOULD have been one of their easier road games(at least one where you wouldn't expect them to get blown out, like maybe at Nova or Hall or something) in the BE(yes, I know none are easy). So they have that going for them anyway.

Uhm, why would this be one of the easier road games?

Have some of you been asleep or something?

Creighton has 2 losses.  Undefeated San Diego State and Michigan.  They are undefeated at home and 22nd in the NET to start this game...why again would this be one of the easier road games?  Serious question...based on what exactly?

I'm fair AF.  It's been you and the other Projos who perpetually shift the goalposts for what is acceptable to expect from Wojo.  The whole empty cupboard B.S.  The transfers out of the Hausers, Deonte, the end to last season, the way the Wally thing went down, the lack of player development.  Koby McEwen is a mess.  Numerous examples of players regressing under Wojo's coaching.

But hey, glad you expected a 25 point blowout to #46 Creighton.  This is exactly what we should expect in Year 6, right?

Post of the day.

I would take Matt Heldt over Jayce all day.  Not meant to be funny.  Meant to be true.

OK, this is one road game. It was in a notoriously tough place to play and we got our heads handed to us.

Big question is what character we have. This happens. But how you respond to it is key. Another game like this and I think I'm focusing on some other interest this winter. Tiddly winks maybe? Another one like this and, well, we're going nowhere outside Milwaukee County after the BE tourney.

Tonight was as hard to watch as Murray State!

It's an interesting comparison.  But I'm struggling to support any of MU's bigs this year.  Theo can't grasp the ball (literally), and isn't blocking last the past couple years. Ed throws the ball at the hoop and acts like a thug. Jayce should dominate a short team like Creighton but basically just picks up fouls.  Sigh.

For you to say bare cupboard wasn’t real and pretend like those same guys did nothing but absolute crap under your guy is a joke....you have not been fair ever in this regard so take your nonsense elsewhere. 

Creighton is #22 in NET before tonight’s game.  I expect they will be top 20 y tomorrow.

Credit tonight to Bailey.  He showed up.  18 points, 11 rebounds and three assists.

Don't know what happened with Theo.  Dropped some passes, then sat most of game, didn't even start second half.  Played two minutes in second half and only had one foul the whole game.

What is it about Wojo that makes you want him to be here 10 years from now? The perpetual looks to the future need to pan out at some point, don't they?

I think you missed what I said.   Hopefully,

Because if in ten years he is still the head coach it means we are doing quite well.  That is why.

Apparently no one is going to answer the question...why was tonight supposed to be an easy win against an 11-2 team, on the road who has two losses...one to undefeated San Diego State and the other to Michigan...can someone explain why this was supposed to be easy or easier ?  Based on what?

Not necessarily.  If he continues to avoid scandal, his status is pretty much the reverse of that old Buzz quote:  Marquette will have him as long as he’ll be here.

I specifically stated not necessarily a win, but certainly one where they should have been in the game. Who cares what Creighton has done to this point. That's like saying DePaul and Georgetown are formidable because of their record this far. Once you get into conference play where teams know you, things are much different. Since when has Creighton ever played defense like they did tonight??

I figured MU's best chances at road wins would be Creighton, Providence, Georgetown and DePaul. Doesn't mean I think they would win them all, but their best chances.

Not necessarily...he has been here 6 years already and hasn't really won anything of substance thus far. Not like MU teams in the past have after the same time frame anyway. So they may just keep him around regardless.

Lame Duck Buzz didn't give two craps his last year at MU.  He had no real interest in developing that freshman class.  I'm truly disappointed and frustrated that Wojo continues to struggle.

Getting blown out by NET rating #22 isn't really an achievement.  BTW, What happens next year with no Markus Howard on the floor to defend?   Do you see our trajectory higher than this season?

Wojo has proven he can't get the job done. Unfortunately , he has tremendous job security and only way we can get rid of him is if he does well enough for another school to hire him away.  Hopefully he can rally the troops for Nova.
Wojo does NOT have tremendous job security. I'll leave it at that.

I'm sure too. Look I can tell some things I know but really I'm just some person on a fan web site who can say anything without anything to back it up. So just look at Wojo's contract extension. That will tell you everything you need to know.

LOL.  Yup, that was Buzz’s reason....excellent.  So you are saying he committed fraud?

What happens next year without Markus, we have a different team with different players.  Each year is different, that’s what happens.  And we see how it goes...that’s the beauty of college basketball...each year is new.

How far is the trip from Houston to College Station...you going up there often for worship and such?
