They were both great for entirely different reason.

But the game that might have more lasting effects is Georgetown. Tonight they showed they are much more than MH and four guys standing around.

What say you?

Georgetown

Georgetown more impressive w/o Howard, but Creighton more amazing.

Winning on the road, with out Markus or Morrow, is incredibly impressive.

Not choosing. Both magic in their own way.

Neither were overly impressive. We have a great team here and expected to win both. That being said, GTown because everyone stepped up with no howard

Georgetown, loved the execution on both ends, played very disciplined and everyone did their job down the stretch.

Creighton was more exciting.

Georgetown was more important.

Both were equally impressive.

Georgetown. Maybe we shouldn’t have been surprised but we were. Great job all around.

I was going to say something like, "Ask Duke how easy it is to win without your starting PG ... and ours is 20 ppg better" ... but why bother when dealing with a "fan" who could find the negative in a Final Four victory?

I love this game because it shows what these guys can do. It’s why the potential of this team is amazing if we can rely just a smudge less on MH...the talent is there.

Their confidence must be booming right now

Where did I "find the negative". They were good wins just not veey impressive when we have a better team. I get markus was down and it was a good win. I mean these are bubble tourney teams at best. Is it that impressive? Weird flex man

Gtown, knowing we can win without Markus is a huge blessing.

I don't think you do get it. People excuse the 08-09 team for losses due to losing James and he wasn't near the All American caliber that year that Howard is this year. Losing an AA level player and key rotation guy and still winning no matter who you are playing.

MuMark · « **Reply #16 on:** January 15, 2019, 10:38:25 PM »

We were a1 1/2 point favorite with Howard expected to play and score somewhere between 26 and 50......

damn right this was an impressive win.

8 scholarship players...including a few that can't be counted on......

Georgetown has plenty of talent......Govan is probably an NBA player....Mcclung played out of his mind....

And yet we still won on the road.......you're pathetic.

I don’t care how Georgetown’s season goes. We had Sacar Anim and Sam Hauser playing the point guard on the road in the Big East and it wasn’t very impressive? Get outta here.

wades, I'm disappointed in both of us for trying to argue with dopiness personified.

Tonight's win was huge from the standpoint of building confidence and a team ethic. So from that standpoint the Georgetown win was more impressive. The Creighton game was a very enjoyable college basketball game from a fan standpoint and thankfully we won .

Lennys Tap · « **Reply #21 on:** January 15, 2019, 10:52:35 PM »

Creighton was the most amazing win in Marquette (and maybe college basketball) history. Has a team ever won a game down 3 with .8 seconds left and the opponents in possession of the ball? I've certainly never seen it. A perfect storm - dumb play by Creighton, great shot by Sam and maybe an extra half second from the ref/timekeeper - gave us a chance and we came through in OT. But lady luck was wearing Warrior blue and gold in Omaha. Not tonight. Tonight luck and circumstances conspired against us - but in spite of that Wojo and the boys prevailed. I'll take tonight's win every time. IMO the most important victory of the Wojo era. Great game, guys!

So so very different, equally enjoyable when they were over and equally important in the march to a possible BE title.

#UnleashSean · « **Reply #23 on:** January 15, 2019, 10:57:42 PM »

Georgetown. Creighton wasn't impressive to me. Having to hit crazy bad shots, then only winning because a team had a complete meltdown isn't impressive. Beating a team while your leading scorer and main ball handler plays 2 minutes? Digging deep and having two players who never run point have to do it for 90% of the game, away? Now thats an impressive win.

I choose GT. It’s a question of adjectives. As others have said, amazing fits CR game better.
