Big East 2024 -25 Results

[Uncle Rico]

X with solid win over Cocks. Miller doing an excellent so far with Musketeers this year.   

X shot 4-22 from 3.

41st in KenPom.  37 on offense, 58 on defense.  Started the year 33 in KenPom.

Your definition of excellence is pathetic

Creighton is in another battle. God Kalkenbrenner is so confusing. He can have dominant defensive performances and put up 49 against cupcakes but just seems so so soft to me

If he was really all that great, he would have left for the NBA long ago.

Same old Kalkbrenner. He will have success against teams that don't have a big that can stand with him height-wise and will struggle against anyone that does.

He has no skill. His 2 best traits are his size and conditioning. That's all he's got.

As Sultan said, it's really not very confusing

He's 7'2 and has a reputation(even if overblown imo) as a elite defender

And still in college for a 5th year. That's how flawed his actual non defensive skills are.

[Scoop Snoop]

Their injured PG is cheering them on from the sidelines, so there's that, but...2nd game in a row in which they sure do not look like a #21 team, and it is not just Kalk.

[Uncle Rico]

2-bid league

Creighton is in big trouble

Woof

[Scoop Snoop]

I'm going to post this early and beat Herman to it:

Creighton screwed the Big East.


Let's hope this level of performance is what we see in Milwaukee and Omaha.

[tower912]

Kalkbrenner needs guards able to get him the ball.  Think Jamil Wilson and Davante Gardner.

[wadesworld]

Kalkbrenner needs guards able to get him the ball.

Then he's not the best player in the BE.

The difference between creighton this year and last is they don't have the sharp shooter from 3 that hit 60%

Creighton is in big trouble

Woof

Yes Creighton ended up losing 71-53 against San Diego State.

 Ashworth did not play. Ashworth is Creighton's second-leading scorer with 16 points per game and leads the team with 6.4 assists per game.

Agree with the above Creighton needs to shoot the 3 better and get the ball to Kalkbrenner more.

Interesting Creighton only committed 6 fouls in the game and had only one steal in the game.

Not very interesting that's been their MO. Don't foul and don't turn ya over.

McDermott may have thought the international kid he brought in at the last minute, Fedor ZugiC, was going to fit the Schierman role in the offense but he is not yet eligible (and may never get cleared after playing pro ball for six years). Schierman was the guy who kept the defenses honest. Mason Miller has been a big disappointment for them in that area too.

I do not think Ashworth could have saved them from this....whatever that was, but then again, I do not think you were really saying that he would.

Too soon to draw conclusions regarding their BE play, but they will need both Ashworth and a shake-up by McDermott to right their ship.

In 4 games against cupcakes, Kalkbrenner averaged 25.8 points (on 89% shooting!) and 8.5 rebounds.

In 2 games against decent (but unranked) teams, Kalkbrenner averaged 7.5 points (on 38% shooting) and 8 rebounds. But he did block some shots, yes. 

Oh, and Ashworth played 35 minutes vs. Nebraska, so Kalkbrenner The Great had his PG for almost all of the game in which he managed to take only 1 shot in 39 minutes.

[DoctorV]

Sometimes this is what happens when you pretty much only play 5 guys, and have no bench to speak of, especially when your squad is anemic to defense.

One guy goes down and the ship takes in water super fast.

Dougies got Buzz, Kansas, Alabama in the next 4....

He's not some work to do

[tower912]

UConn is in deep foul trouble against Colorado.

[TallTitan34]

Colorado down one, 14 min to go.

[MU82]

Enjoying seeing a more vulnerable UConn.

[rocky_warrior]

Hurley's head might actually explode after (or during) this one.

[GoldenEagles03]

The announcers sound sick of Hurley too lol.

[TallTitan34]

At least we have DePaul.

[Uncle Rico]

Might be a one-bid league
