Creighton game thread

[LloydMooresLegs]

again with the blown offensive play, and then the turnaround 3

[jeffreyweee]

Creighton is a far better team than we are. It's a miracle we had it close so late.

[real chili 83]

I now hate these announcers.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

5 point swing there....Fricking good defense by Manigat

[GooooMarquette]

Todd has to convert that one....

[AirPunches]

Mayo didn't go up strong at all. You can't have it stripped on a one on one like that.

[WellsstreetWanderer]

This would actually be a close game if we made free throws.

[mileskishnish72]

That's a couple of strips on Todd - he is going to have to learn how to protect the ball in that situation.

[jesmu84]

i said in the first half this felt like a game that creighton would be in complete control of no matter how close we got. sad that it looks like i'm right.

not sure we have the energy to claw back into this. 11 points in 5 minutes vs this team is going to be very very hard to do.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

This would actually be a close game if we made free throws.

Or some threes

[nyg]

Wee need Ox for free throws.

That was a back breaker. There it goes.

Gardner has taken two shots all game and has not played much in second.  Why???? Juan,  Chris, Burton has taken more shots.

Bluejays shot better 2's, 3's and free throws.  Ballgame.  Would have been a nice home win, but now have to run the table.  

[Newsdreams]

If Otule can get to the line like this...why can't ox?

Because he was just standing around. Not really trying to get open.

[GoldenWarrior11]

This is a frustrating game - but mad props to Creighton.  They are an extremely well-coached team.  Every one of their players on the court is a threat to shoot.  As a basketball fan, I really enjoy watching them play.

For us, it has been the same story for the season - and that's not a negative.  The team has a lot of players with noticeable weaknesses, and Buzz has done his best trying to mix and match (mostly favoring defense) to get the most out of them.  There is no go-to-guy.

Season's not over by a long shot, I hope the team flips the switch soon (hopefully tonight) and kicks things into high gear.

[MUeng]

Anyone really surprised by this though? I get it's frustrating because of our recent success but we never really threatened Creighton in this one.

[wheresthecake?]

This loss is on Buzz. No way O'Tule should've been in there for so long during that stretch, don't care how bad of a game Ox is having.

[PGsHeroes32]

This is what happens when you don't play Ox. We simply cannot win games without him.

[Atticus]

The crowd completely sucks.

[Nevada233]

McDermott is too much. . .

[AirPunches]

Good teams top players bring it every game. Marquettes do not.

[jesmu84]

This loss is on Buzz. No way O'Tule should've been in there for so long during that stretch, don't care how bad of a game Ox is having.

watch the game. otule was outplaying gardner on both ends tonight. gardner is a HUGE defensive liability against creighton

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

The crowd completely sucks.

Really? I was gonna say this was one of the more ferocious crowds I've seen this year

[LloydMooresLegs]

The crowd completely sucks.

i thought it was vociferous?

[ronald dragon]

This loss is on Buzz.

i seriously hear this every loss...

[mileskishnish72]

Turn out the lights

[Wojo'sMojo]

The crowd completely sucks.

What do they have to cheer about?
