Where was the press?

Creighton has limited ball-handling and a poor turnover rate this season - and we don't see a single possession of pressure until the 14 min mark of the 2H?

I just don't want to see Shaka getting away from that. This team needs to feed off the energy and frenetic style that we had seen this year - getting into half court grinds in the Big East will be death.

I worry that Shaka took the holiday break and decided to kill off havoc only 2 months in - why? He has to be who he is - he failed at Texas because he got away from it.

Agreed.   Noticeable by its absence.   Jones out, Morsell still recovering.... maybe Coach didn't think he had the depth to run it for 40 (ok, 50) minutes.

It also has been pretty bad in recent games and the defense was fine today outside of the first two minutes of the 2H.
