X/Creighton

[tower912]

Creighton, without Watson, blows a big lead on the road to a ranked team.    Why this feeling of deja vu?    X had every chance to win at the end, but blew 3 point blank shots and an open 3 in one possession.    So Creighton gave up 4 tries in a tight game.   This tune sounds so familiar.   Can't quite place it.   Creighton may be beatable without Watson.    Luke is going to have to show up and at least slow down their big.   It will require MU to play 40 minutes, which is problematic.

I have far more hope with Watson out. Reminiscent of how Marquette struggled when James went down in 2009. That said, Patton is an absolute monster and will be a huge problem.

We did just see Creighton win at Xavier in the game where Watson went down early, right? Not sure what people are seeing that would lead them to believe that we'll fare any better on the road after which Creighton has had time to game plan for life without Watson for a bit, if he's going to be out.

I'm not saying we'll win but I'd rather face them without Watson than with him. Of course not wishing any injury upon the kid. I hope he's OK

No. 35 should be cut for missing those layups, and Mack should be fired.

Hehe. I see what you did there.

[muguru]

After watching Xavier a few times now, I don't get the love. They aren't all that impressive to me. They are one team that doesn't have a big that will eat MU alive inside. I think they are very beatable at home and away.

Bill Murray is a fan of there's. Automatic top 25.

[GoldenZebra]

After seeing what happened today, I dont know what to think. Its hard to even attempt to predict what will happen.

That's because with 6 NCAAs in 7 seasons (and 3 Sweet 16s), Mack and Wojo's records are on a par. Upon further review, since no-one said Wojo should be fired, it's because he's been much more successful.

Oh Lenny ... you keep spoiling all my fun!

I read what MU82 as saying had we lost a game like that there would be threads like that here.

You read that correctly, fjm.

Lenny simply has grown tired of my Wojo-related sarcasm. Sometimes, us old couples just get bored with each other!

LOL - I'm guilty of beating dead horses, too, Mike. We need better topics, damn it! Maybe a discussion of literature, architecture or the death penalty can add some missing zest to the relationship. Better yet, where's Crash when we need him - resurrect the haiku!

Loved World According To Garp ... jeesh, I need to start reading books written in this millennium!

Mike Brady sure could design the hell out of a house!

I'm not in favor of the death penalty. But I've never had a loved one murdered, and I fully allow that such an event might affect my viewpoint.

You're right, Lenny ... that made me feel better!

[Frenns Liquor Depot]

resurrect the haiku!

another tough loss
Where are all the warriors
Will Wojo make it

Loved Garp. The (at the time) young woman who recommended it to me asked how it was going - I said I loved it so far. She asked if I'd gotten to "the part" yet. I said "What part?" She said "If you had, you'd know!"

According to Garp
Was every man's nightmare
Fantasy gone wrong

If "the part" was what I think a cleverly titillating young woman might be referring to, it happened pretty darn early in the book.

If it was the car-in-driveway scene, which is what I think I'd label "the part," it happened much later.

The latter - but in her defense I don't believe she was trying to be cleverly titillating.

That's one of the most scarring pieces of literature I've come across. Easily top 5. Gives blood lust a whole new meaning.

Torn ACL, college career over.

Absolutely devastating for Creighton. We had never made the Sweet 16. This was supposed to be the year. Most likely not anymore.

Wow.  That sucks for Watson, Creighton, and the conference as a whole.

[manny31]

That sucks, I feel bad for the kid and the program.

That is horrible news...especially for Creighton. They were having a program defining season and then this. Just brutal.

Oh yeah, he might go for 20/20.
