Driscoll botches a review that almost hands it to Creighton, but to OT they go in Omaha.

Unbelievable - Nova should’ve had the ball with 6 seconds left.

No, the shot hit the rim but they should have had the ball OB with the 3 seconds left.

Disagree. No shot clock violation and ball never went out of bounds. Inadvertent whistle cost creighton 3 points there.

Check the replay. The ball was clearly still in his hands before the shot clock hit zero!!

Agree - it was a shot clock violation.

Nova beats creighton  - Marquette may be fighting for 5th in the BEast.

[mugrad_89]

Wow - Creighton the first Big East team to lose at home.

[bradforster]

I am sure UConn scoop is melting down.

Last season UConn suffered through a 1 - 5 stretch in conference play, with a 12 point loss at Providence sprinkled into the tough spate.   The Huskies were vanquished at home by St John’s.  You should have read the posts during that five week span.  Marquette is going to be just fine.  Where’s the equanimity on this board?

Nova beats creighton  - Marquette may be fighting for 5th in the BEast.

Or we are back to fighting for first seeing as the other top teams lost. ONe at home and the other to a weaker team than we played.

[HutchwasClutch]

Wow - Creighton the first Big East team to lose at home.

What a crazy slate of openers in the league.  All three favorites not just losing, but in pretty ugly form. Buckle up.

That was a crew I hope to never see MU have. Driscoll, Breeding, and Hampton.

I can’t go back and look at the replay again but watching it live the shot was clearly off before the buzzer sounded and on the replay there was still a 1 on the shot clock on the TV screen with the ball on its way to the rim.

If there was another replay that showed something different I didn't see it.

2 crap teams

[Tyler COLEk]

Could everybody please stop blaming the refs in the CU-VU game? HutchwasClutch will get upset.

[mug644]

As expected, MU is tied in the standings with UConn and Creighton.

You really are an immature child.

Apparently Nova got jobbed by the refs, on the road in a very difficult arena for visiting teams, yet still found a way to win. Imagine that.

As for the Big East overall, opening week has given many teams reason to believe they can be this year’s Marquette. Should be a fun season!

That was an excellent road win for Nova. Not easy to win in Omaha. Kudos to Neptune's squad for getting it done in overtime. 

MU has to hold serve at home. A massive win over Mr. Cooley would be a good way to start. Then figure out a way to be effective on offense on the road.

From the last two days, with the top 3 teams in the Big East going down, it is clear this conference this year will be more brutal than before.  No game is a gimme.   A Nova, Seton Hall and PC knocking off the top three teams in the big East  is eye opening.  Whew.   Go Marquette!  Let’s get a win Friday!  One at a time…..

Yes sir.  The coaching is phenomenal and physical play is allowed.  Teams know each other strengths and weaknesses. Should be fun.

Villanova absolutely hammered Memphis and beat UNC.  But they also lost to the Philly schools.  That win at Creighton without Moore is pretty stunning.  Especially that 2nd half.

Nova will be able to build off this big road win.

I agree with this analysis.

Great article about DePaul (or, an excellent one to some).

My favorite line- "Each time the program seems to hit rock- bottom, it finds a way to drill down deeper."
