Creighton game thread

[AZMarqfan]

Look In previous threads. Statistics show with Andrew and Marcus on the floor, the teams defense is much worse

Yep, that's part of the reason I said that.  The argument for playing 35+ mins of both is that we're trying to outscore other teams.  But we're also giving up a ton of easy buckets.  I wonder if a few less minutes for each would help them each have a chance to run the floor on offense, while also giving them more energy to run around on D.  It's not like Anim and Elliott aren't adequate when in there

A Big East ref didn't fall for the head flail.  Stop the presses!!!!

Gee, zone's working...go figure, some of us have been calling for it, ALL freaking year. Imagine that.

I agree.  I was hoping woj may try and have Rowsey or Howard come off the bench once.  (I know probably very unpopular) but what the hell.

[GooooMarquette]

We need to play more zone.  I know it ain't Wojo's thing, but....

Like I said....

[Herman Cain]

Team looking good.

[peterpan]

Like the zone

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Havent seen this many stops in 4+ seasons!!!
Our zone has looked bad at times this year, but the argument has to be made could it possibly be any worse than our man!!??  Against SJU and Ponds i argued why did we go away from it.  Glad we at least gave it a try.  Has turned the game on a dime!!

For those who are ripping on us, we are playing well, we just took the lead.  I'm at the game, and seeing us making a bunch of shots.  We are getting CU to take a bunch o' 3s and taking advantage of their misses.

Big put back by Jamal.

[AZMarqfan]

the zone helps because we have our bigs firmly planted down low.  Creighton can't get an offensive board or 2nd chance pt

[SaveOD238]

Eventually some 3s will fall for Creighton.  We've gotten lucky with a nice stretch of misses.  I hope I'm wrong

[jonny09]

Coaching!!   Finally!!  I like the zone adjustment.  Now watch for the guy popping to the foul line.  That is how they are going to try and beat this zone. 

[Daniel]

Love that they are fighting hard.  Zone has had a positive impact

[muguru]

I've seen enough of Theo for tonight...defense has been awful, doesn't use the glass on a bunny, now travels.

[MUEng92]

A couple of those Eppersons shots look close to offensive goaltending

[Lighthouse 84]

Big put back by Matty.

Geez, Creighton fans are obnoxious

He's also responsible for at leave 7 points with his rebounds and fighting on the offensive boards

wtf do they keep booing about? 

[Herman Cain]

Our team is showing some heart

[GooooMarquette]

Where has this Sacar been all year?

[SaveOD238]

Where has this Sacar been all year?

Guys, I think we found Sacar

[AZMarqfan]

Sacar's development is a lot like McNeal and Blue.  defensive guy early, then defense and slasher.  Next year is his breakout

[GooooMarquette]

Guys, I think we found Sacar

Well played.

[MUEng92]

I vote Harrell keeps shooting 3s for Creightons possessions

[LloydsLegs]

Guys, I think we found Sacar

Yes.  And maybe also they need him and the big 3 aren't taking as many shots.
