Creighton cogitating

[tower912]

1.  What an ugly game.
2.  Free throws.
3.  Transition defense.
4.  Good looks, no consistent makes.
5.  Luke looked groggy all night.  I admire how he gutted it out.
6.  It felt like Marquette was just hanging on for dear life all might.  Never felt like there was a flow.
7.  Would a zone have slowed Watson down?
8.  I have a theory that the first team that stands still on offense loses.  Tonight, Marquette stood around first and most.
9.  Too many missed opportunities. 
10.  Inability to stop Watson.  Ballgame.

I havent understood what Wilson has been doing the last couple games. Regardless of that last heave at the end of the game, it just boggles my mind some of the shots he takes. He makes some crazy layups, but for the most part its nuts.

Barring winning the Big East Tournament, we're out of the NCAAs. I miss dancing.

Meanwhile, 60 miles west, they knocked off #2 on the road.

zone would have led to more wide open 3's.  When we had a hand up on the 3 they missed badly.  That last one was the worst as we were out of sync.
Wojo should have called TO when they came out in man out of timeout to get a better set drawn up

[Herman Cain]

Tough loss. Snatch Defeat from the Jaws of Victory. On to the next game. Have to take them one at a time. this league is a bear so we still have a chance.

A chance just by the word. Itll take a miracle to get wins racked up. The team loses more than it wins games...

[brewcity77]

Wojo called a timeout with a lead and maybe 90 seconds left. The BC was rocking and it took the life out. We squandered the chance and couldn't get a decent shot. Creighton came down and scored and it was over.

That timeout made no sense and really felt awkward. Terrible coaching decision.

a chance at what exactly?

Yes.  I said so at the time.  Absolutely no reason to call it and Creighton used it to change up their defense.

[brewcity77]

a chance at what exactly?

The NIT? Probably can't lose more than one game to have a shot at the NIT. Beyond that, maybe the CBI or new Vegas tournament?

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

That was hideous. MU played terrible. Creighton outside of Watson played terrible. Embarrassing showing in a must win game. The glimmer of hope is now gone. BET champs or its over. Boys gotta show up better, but that's what you get with a young team. Very disappointing.

So, are you calling for Wojo's head?

[brewcity77]

So, are you calling for Wojo's head?

Of course not. But coaching killed us in the final minute. Our coach has just as much learning to do as our players.

I may be frustrated, but I'm patient.

[warriorfan 14]

so criticizing a coach for in-game decision making means you want him fired?

The fact that they keep improving at a faster rate with young players as well as a rookie coach is all that needs to be said

A chance?  The only way this team gets to the NCAA is by winning the BET.  They could win out, get to the BET championship game and lose it, and still wouldn't make the NCAA.

the badgers have 2 juniors from a final four team. besides this is a mu board, who gives a crap about how the badgers are doing.

They have more experience than MU does.  They underperformed badly under Bo.

Doubt that, but that's simply not going to happen.

[MattyWarrior]

I really had a hard time watching this game and team,sick of hearing how young we are. We
got burned over and over after a made basket, and can't stop a midget from lay-ups. Out of
position time after time,no help D.

Nate, how many years has Gard been coaching?  Coaching basketball?  So when you say that's "all that needs to be said", you actually aren't saying enough.

[KenoshaWarrior]

They have more experience than MU does.  They underperformed badly under Bo.

They have no seniors and have huge contributions in sophmore brown and freshman happ

[NCMUFan]

Next game.  They had a chance to put it in OT and couldn't.  Creighton is a good team. 

[ChicosBailBonds]

Apparently Bo was thinking of Tara so much he couldn't get his guys UP for games this year.

[GGGG]

They have two juniors who contributed on a Final Four team. 

And really I don't care.  Have no clue why brew brought it up in the first place.
