Creighton game thread

[79Warrior]

Markus with the last 21 points.  While I'm glad he's going off, does it make anyone else uncomfortable that he doesn't pass much at all?

As good as he is, I can see hero ball having us out early in post season

[MUfanatic45]

I think Sam was surprised how much time he had there

Either way good end to the half to get up 4.

Absolutely pathetic, piss poor play for this late in the year. We have much more talent than Creighton, but Wojo is clueless on making adjustments. Getting outcoached by McDermott. If Wojo did not have Markus, he would be selling used cars. We will not be making any deep runs if we have just one guy doing all the shooting/scoring. Good defensive teams/or an off night will stop that.

Your act is so tired

[warriors141]

a poor first half performance, yet we still have the lead due to markus shooting- he is a special player.

turnovers, giving up 2nd chance opportunities, and theo/ed fouls continue to be huge problems that have not been solved.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

That play by Joey was exactly what we need to do to make the pay for playing such a small lineup. Don't know if that was a designed play or just Joey being heads up but that was well done.

With how bad the turnovers, oboards, and fouls were, I will take a 4 point lead at halftime.

. Can't believe we're down 10 at half!

Oh, we're up 4?  Huh.

[rocket surgeon]

   we better exercise the option on markus for next year and sign him up

MU shooting 55%, but 10 turnovers hurt bad.  Both teams had 8 fouls.

Let's get Theo back in, but CU takes a lot of outside shots. Who knows.

Bailey played great defense while Joey sat.

Limit to like 5 turnovers, more team offense, like in Sam Hauser, and protect home court.  Need this one.

hell yes, it should make everyone uncomfortable. When you are in the dance good defensive teams will bottle him up. Wojo is terrible at making adjustments or game plans, other than give the ball to Markus.

[tower912]

Creighton is doing Jordan rules on Markus and then trapping anybody inside the 3 pt line.   Best defense I have ever seen Creighton play.   Time for the rest of the team to step up.

[Boston Warrior]

Markus 7 for 12.. 3 assists. Not sure there is an issue. He is feeling it, creighton is mucking the game up with physical play and refs weren't calling much. Matquette is adjusting.

I guess you miss the point, or are exceedingly happy with your blue and gold lens at our play. Creighton is not a very good team, or did you miss that.

They are 52 in Ken Pom, you make it out like the are 200th, or even 100th.  Give it a rest.  Three of their losses are in OT.

No, I didn't miss it. We aren't valuing the ball and we're sloppy the first 12 minutes or so especially. Yes, we need to be better as the tournament rolls around. But we're up 4 against a team that isn't horrible. Not down 10.

[MUEng92]

I do remember that one year they vacated the NCAA championship because the winner didn't win impressively enough

[We R Final Four]

NO FOULS IN FIRST FOUR MINUTES THEO!

[MUfanatic45]

Not a good start again. 2 fouls

2 missed open 3s and a biffed lay up

Markus needs help!!

[MUfanatic45]

Fouls piling up early

[Mike Deane's Seat Belt]

Markus needs to get under control when going to the hoop.  Guys are going flop city on him. He doesnt have the handles to cut and slash around guys. He goes straight up with the floater and is gonna be getting called more on that as we get into march

[willie warrior]

Your act is so tired

Hopefully you develop  a tired one.

Thats a good argument; a team that is not horrible. They are not good either.

[WarriorDad]

Thats a good argument; a team that is not horrible. They are not good either.

Arguably should be 9-6 with three OT losses in conference.  They have given teams a hard time all year long.  Your statements of Wojo as a car salesman and Creighton a bad team, defines your tired act.

[Lighthouse 84]

You're right.  I guess the AP voters are all wrong, ranking MU at 10.  We're Brutal. We have no business being discussed as a tournament team.
