2018 NCAA Tournament thread

[MU82]

Shaka's record in 3 seasons at Texas: 50-50.

Made the tournament with Barnes' recruits his first year and lost in the first round on a half-court shot ... went 11-22 last year in a season that would have had ScoopLand saying he should be fired (probably by midseason) ... and this year squeaked in with a mediocre record only to blow a big lead to lose to Nevada.

Since getting to the 2011 FF in his second season as a coach:

Lost by 2 in second round ... lost by 25 in second round ... lost in first round to Stephen F. Austin ... lost in first round ... lost in first round ... went 11-22 with team that had been ranked in the Top 25 ... lost in first round.

I cannot sit here and say Wojo has accomplished more; that would be a lie. Nor will I say Shaka isn't a "good coach." I don't know enough about him to make that determination.

But Shaka ain't no savior. So screw Mrs. Shaka, and the ship she didn't sail into Milwaukee on.

There. I got that outta my system. Thanks for indulging me!!

Weren't we in the running for Shaka Smart a few years ago?  Has not exactly lit the world on fire.

If Shaka hasn't exactly lit the world on fire, out of curiousity, what is your assessment of Wojo who is 4 years in, as opposed to Shaka in his 3rd at Texas?

2 NCAA tournaments in three years. 336th youngest team. 11th best defense in the country. Many here would take that.  But, then again you are trolling Cheeks.

Seriously the discussion here should be whether or not McDermott keeps his job

[real chili 83]

Creighton having tough time in 1st half against kstate

Relax, plenty of game left

Is it just me, or have others noticed the Big East teams seem to be getting worked by the refs today?

Providence definitely didn't get the benefit of doubt but they were just overpowered

Butler game wasn't too shabby

Creighton is just really bad

Why wouldn't he? Creighton has no right to expect the second weekend when they haven't been there since 74. He's gotten Almost a quarter of their programs NCAA appearances so if Creighton fired him it'd be an absolute joke

They aren't in the MVC anymore

First round tourney losses for a BE team every year are not something you sit around on

Lol cmon dude

You say that because you're comparing it to other programs in the big east that have actually had postseason success. Creighton probably wants that success but no coach in their right mind would go there when they've said that meeting the program's historical ceiling is not enough.

[PGsHeroes32]

Lol cmon dude

I'll bet you any amount of money McDermott is gone within the next 2 years if they still don't have a tournament win

[tower912]

Then Creighton would be dumb.

[LAZER]

If he's gone it won't be because he was fired.

And they're down by 6 at half to a very mediocre Bruce Weber-coached KSU team.

You keep saying that but he has plenty of NCAA tourney wins.

[tower912]

Creighton getting nothing from Foster.  Not a good game for him to get cramps.

LOL @ Chicos playing dumb to maintain the ruse

[tower912]

And nothing g from Harrell.  Can't win a tourney game getting nothing from two key players.

[PGsHeroes32]

If he's gone it won't be because he was fired.

And they're down by 6 at half to a very mediocre Bruce Weber-coached KSU team.

Exactly.

Getting beat down by a average team coached by an average at best coach without their best player.

That's bad.

Truer words never spoken. If you ain't with us, you're against us!

[tower912]

No contributions from Foster or Harrell too much for the Blue Jays to overcome.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Creighton has looked un-Creighton like as a Big East member in the tournament.

[Galway Eagle]

Creighton is always a sure fire out the first weekend

[tower912]

"What are you watching?".  Enough to get a technical that ends a career.   Terrible officiating.  And then a make up tech. Wow.
