MU/Creighton Game Thread

[GoldenEagles03]

Hey. Look at the brightside.

At this rate we'll be reeeeeeally well rested for next weekend.

[Elonsmusk]

6 offensive rebounds yielded and 10 turnovers...against an undermanned Creighton team.  Have to think we will get it turned around in the second half as we can't play much worse.  Lose this game and its Wojo-esque bad.

[MUBBau]

Morsell was just brutal. Zero points on 1 for 7 shooting and terrible turnover with 36 seconds left. Hurt......

10 turnovers
Freemantle on offensive boards

MU did nothing without Kaluma sitting out last nine minutes.

Impressive

[PGsHeroes32]

I just dont understand Daryl.

Hes a 5th year senior and has the lowest bball IQ of anyone on the team. If hes not sloppy with the ball hes taking a horrendous off balance fade away 20 footer.

[mileskishnish72]

I don't know what's worse, the lazy passes to open CU players or the gift-wrapped off. rebounds we give them.
Gotta get serious this half, guys.

[willie warrior]

Most...terrible...defensive rebounding...ever

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Bigs with a stellar 0 points, 4 turnovers, and 4 fouls.

[Ardmore Mug]

2nd half will be interesting , seeing that McDermott said they are going to start going inside to Kalkbrennr ! ! !

On the flip side of this, Creighton is only 2/9 on threes and has missed some good looks and we've shown that we can absolutely maintain this level of play for a whole game.

We're not making the tournament

[ATL MU Warrior]

We're not making any noise except a whimper in the tournament

Corrected

We need to go in inside too.  We aren't getting close.  Too many long 2s and 3s

[GoldenEagles03]

The win against St. John's got them in.  Could very well be a 10 or 11 with a horrendous draw if they lose a 3rd to Creighton.

No, we're out.  You said so last week

[MuggsyB]

Our offense was frankly a disaster for 20 mins.  There's no way to sugarcoat it with the 10 turns being the biggest issue but we're not getting great shots, nor are we moving the basketball.  Yes, we're only down 3 and playing like garbage, but it's not like Creighton is shredding the nets

I would consider going with Lewis at the 5.  We're getting nothing from Kur or Oso.  Value the ball, value possessions, and exercise patience.  Way too many forced jumpers by MU. 

[WellsstreetWanderer]

We keep the turnovers down and we have this

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Well that was just a horrible half all around. 

Thankfully Creighton wasn't much better. 

[GoldenEagles03]

No I didn't.  I said they were slipping close to the bubble, because they were.

You choose to overreact about anything you disagree with and then try to put words into people's mouths.

I agree with you.  This would be a horrendous loss and I really don't know how anyone could see it differently.  We need to really step-up and take care of business in the 2nd half.

Offense is pathetic.   Ok Shaka should understand CU will be good defending  the Pick and Roll so HAVE SOMETHING ELSE you can go to.  Right now we're playing like we've never practiced together.
The only reason we're still in it is CU shooting so poorly.   But the are otherwise totally outplayed us.

Wojo was canned because we repeatedly got embarrassed on the big stage. We now have a coach who has been there and done it before, so it's time to get it done in this half.

Good point on the P and R.  Where is the adjustment?

[GoldenWarrior11]

Down. Not out.

Play violent and let's take this.

The question is: Would we play better after being well rested?
From what I've seen, not necessarily.
