1.  MU was in this game because their defense finally woke up.    Not many saw that coming after the first three 3's of the second half. 
2.  Osa has come so far.    38 minutes all of last year.    Spark plug of the team this year.    Still only 6'9.    He will get beat up from time to time.   
3.  Creighton has played two straight really solid defensive games.   
4.  Creighton should have just kept feeding Kalkbrenner in the post.   Every single time until MU doubled him. 
5.   Gotta love the lack of quit in this team.   I wish they would stop digging themselves such a deep hole.   
6.  MU got to 32 deflections.
7.   Remind me again about why some don't like OMP?   Hustle like that with 4 fouls.   He has revealed his character.   
8.  Creighton going zone iced MU in the second OT.   Genius move by Dougie.    I would never play man against MU.   3 pt shooting and all.   
9.  Probably going to be a lot of talk about fouling up 3.    Damned if you do, damned if you don't.    Bit MU in the butt. 
10.   It is going to be OK.    Yes, we don't have studs.    But we have high character fighters.   Some days that will be enough.   Some days it won't.   Sit back.   Relax.   Enjoy the process.

It wasn't just the not fouling up three.  It was the two empty possessions in OT when MU looked to be killing the clock.  Bad offense resulted in poor shot attempts.

Bad day by Shaka at the end there.

That isn't a damned if you do situation.

There's 3.3 seconds left. Foul the guy.

The process needs wins.

Especially gritty home wins.

Or else it's very hard to enjoy.

Tower, I agree with most of what you say. But let's not start with his "high character" BS. Wojo had teams chalked full of high character Individuals, it doesn't mean a thing. We need W's, period.

Exactly.  Now maybe Oso was supposed to and didn't, but there is no question what you do there.

Lewis going 4/18 didn't help the game either

No, once he caught and held there was no way CU would get another possession. Not a 6 of 1, half dozen of the.other situation

Once he put the ball on the floor that was the perfect time to foul, then it's under 1.5 seconds left.

We played great defense to get back into the game and take the lead. Someone f'ed up when it mattered the most.

No need for 10 issues, just two.

MU has significant offensive deficiencies and it will bite them the remainder of the year.  Going to be very long BE season. 

O'Connell had ball with 3.3 seconds, he actually dribbled for a second or so, then shot.  Not an immediate catch and shoot where the potential for a shooting foul could have been called. I would say 98% of NCAA coaches would have fouled with that limited time left on clock and the player dribbling.  Thats on Coach Shaka.  Should have been a win.

4/18 with a terrible attitude for most of the game.

O Max rolling with his guy to the lane and not helping on the 3 was such a bonehead play. Give them anything inside the arc. JUST DONT GIVE UP A 3

Clueless basketball play

Not fouling up 3. Not calling any timeouts in OT when we were soooo tired and forcing bad shots and getting beat off the dribble. Not getting GE in the game down 3. Really bad stuff from Shaka. This one is on him and this is his first bad loss because of it.  This one will hurt all season. This was a defeat snatched from the jaws of victory and pretty inexcusably so

Fouling up three is sometimes a really tricky play primarily because you don't want to foul with too much time left. This was about as clear cut case to foul as possible.

Shaka even called a timeout. I would love to know what he said during that timeout.

Losing a bunch of close games probably isn't the culture Shaka intended. Need to get some wins badly.

My only silver lining, I care enough again that I am really pissed off we lost. Another silver lining, Oso and Omax need to play a lot of minutes going forward. Both of them are going to be very good players down the road.

This.  The game was essentially over.

I had the exact same conversation at my house. What the heck did he tell the guys? That seemed pretty obvious. No discretion needed on fouling with so little time left. This one's on Shaka.

Yup. Maybe Oso didn't do it. But the instruction to Oso 100% needed to be to foul. From where his guy was gonna have to catch the ball. You say foul the moment he dribbles.

Yep.  And O Max had played a pretty darn good game to that point. Too bad

I would be shocked if Shaka had actually told a player to foul, he didn't and then Shaka calls him out postgame.  Coaches just don't do that to a player, they eat it. 

Again, MU is stagnant on offense and has been majority of the year.  They just can't put ball in basket, whether threes, short or layups.  Have to score in order to win. 

Kolek was 4 for 14 and is now 7 for last 42 on threes.  He makes some nice passes, but some bad turnovers and horrendous shooting.  Quicker guards, like Nemhard today blew past him today. Not good for a starting point guard.

Lewis was 4 for 18 and his three point percentage also is dismal.  With no outside shot, his NBA potential is non existent.  Yes, one, only one mock service had him listed, all others not even mentioned. 

Thank goodness for Oso going 10 for 12.
