Which is a little odd as the MU fan experts here were saying how bad McDermott is as a coach....our fan base....it's a beauty and super knowledgeable, too.

Well, he is on the NCAA watch list...

[Cheeks]

"The MU fan experts here (on Scoop)" claim McDermott is a bad coach?

LOL. Your modus operandi when attacking. Sweeping, unsubstantiated accusations with zero evidence. Have a few guys here criticized McDermott (and other coaches, ADs, administrators, players, writers, etc.)? Sure. So have you. How many have said McDermott can't coach? A handful? When did they become "the MU fan experts here"? When you make this type of bullish!t up (it's all over the board on a myriad of topics) do you have any purpose other than self aggrandizement?

That's awesome black kettle.  The bigger point is the clowns that said Willard, McDermott and others can't coach are the same ones that say Wojo cannot....so that gives me some great solace knowing how wrong they have been in the past.

Two NCAA cheaters in one Cheeks' counter argument on why MU should be patient with Wojo...lovely.

Here is my argument: Just win out! Very doable.  It's not that complicated.

Creighton is fun to watch.

Sharing the ball, constant movement is the most fun to play and to watch.  I agree.

I love Ty-Shon Alexander's game. He is a quick, 6-4 guard who is a superior defender.

He averages 16.9 ppg, 5.1 rpg, 2.4 apg and 1.4 to. He is shooting better from 3, overall and FT than either Markus or Powell.

He has improved during the course of his career and even this season. Scoring last 12 games: 18-14-24-12-24-16-15-16-18-24-22-15. So consistent. Average during those games: 18.2 pts and less than 1 TO while playing 35 mpg and usually defending the opponent's best perimeter player.

If I were an NBA GM, I'd draft him before I'd even consider either Markus or Powell, and I think he should be getting much more BEPOY consideration than he has been.

I hope like heck he goes pro after this season. Don't want to go up against an even better version of him next year!

Agree.  As it stands today, he too deserves BE POY consideration.

He'd be my pick.

Butler shooting 40% and losing by 30 is just brutal. Zagarowski shooting out of his mind and Creighton just firing on all cylinders.  No question they are the best team in the BE.

"Shooting 40%" has little to no meaning. What is the relevance of FG%?

They shot a poor 43.1% eFG% compared to 63.9% for Creighton.

Only lost by 22.

Cool flex. A full day later swooping in to pick apart a meaningless post about how Butler wasn't shooting atrociously as much as how good Creighton was playing, to show everyone how smart you are. They were down by 30+ when I posted.

No. They DID shoot atrociously - you called out a bad statistic implying that a 40% FG% is solid; FG% doesn't represent how well a team is shooting and it's bizarre someone would use such a 'stat'.

Johnnies pick up JUCO commit. Should be able to make an immediate contribution.

St. John's hanging thought at Nova. Down 2 with 7:45 to go.

[MU82]

Nova just missed a layup with about 10 seconds left, so they didn't cover the 12 points.

[Herman Cain]

Solid win nonetheless for Nova

[JakeBarnes]

Nova just missed a layup with about 10 seconds left, so they didn't cover the 12 points.

Gonna hurt seeding

Seems like similar to last year we will have to play a team we lost twice to in conference play. Looks like we are locked into a first round game against Providence.
