Catching Creighton on 5 game lose streak Good or Bad

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I hope Kalkbrenner plays.  With Creighton on a 5 game losing streak, nothing good comes from playing them with him out.

What about an easier win? Cause that's a good that would come from playing them without Kalkbrenner.

I don't care who plays for Creighton, just get the win!

Maybe. If he was fully healthy and conditioned I'd agree, but idk right now.  Probably still true but who knows...

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I'm mostly curious to see OMax matchup tonight.  Is it Kaluma or Scheierman?  Kaluma may be tougher for Stevie or Kam to guard, but Scheierman has the ability to take control of a game quicker with his 3's if he's hitting (which I expect).

I like Kam getting a shot at Scheierman with Stevie on Nembhard and OMax on Kaluma.

Excited for this one!  Depth us heavily in our favor.  Wear 'em out!

He'll be matched up with Kaluma when Kaluma and King are in. He'll be matched up on BS when King is out and Kaluma is playing the 5. Matching up only matters so much when you switch as often as our defense does.

The nice thing if Kalky is out is that Kaluma at the 5 would create mismatches for most teams. Oso is fully capable of guarding Kaluma.

Just saw on Twitter that we have only won 1 of our last 8 against Creighton?  Is that true?

I thought we had a huge winning streak against them prior to the 3 losses last year.  I guess the COVID season is easy to forget.

Sadly, there isn’t a way to verify that

I missed you.

And also less risk of someone on our team contracting mono. Which I'd prefer even more.

True!

I hope Kalkbrenner plays.  With Creighton on a 5 game losing streak, nothing good comes from playing them with him out.

Nobody will care or remember if Kalkbrenner plays tonight come March.  I wouldn't hope he gets hurt to miss our game, but if he's going to be out I'm not going to complain about it.

I agree with this analysis

What are you talking about.

A good that comes from it is a better chance to win. Which is what we need.

The long game is to be played, imo.  Lose this game to give Creighton a quality road win without Kalk and also a false sense of security when Marquette goes to Omaha and we spring the surprise on them.  Boom.  Qualitier win

I hope Kalk doesn’t play so we have a better chance of winning. Because I’m a fan of Marquette. And I want Marquette to win games and ultimately make the tournament and win some games there

Oso had his best game of the year last year in Milwaukee against Creighton.  He will be an even bigger problem for Kalkbrenner this year as a distributor, especially if Kam, Kolek, Joplin etc. are knocking down 3's.

Well let's go all the way; I hope they forfeit because I want Marquette to win games anyway they can and ultimately make the tournament and win some games there.

Oso’s last game Vs Creighton — 14 minutes, zero points, 2 boards, 0 ast/blk/StL, 2 to’s

We’re 1-7 in our last 8, but 7-7 in our last 14.

This, obviously.

[Uncle Rico]

On December 16th, 1940, Creighton beat Marquette 57–12.  Within a year, Pearl Harbor was bombed.  Makes you think

Such a perfect encapsulation of this place hahaha

Good point. Is there a quick test we can force him to take if we seem him near the building.

[GoldenEagles03]

We’re 1-7 in our last 8, but 7-7 in our last 14.

Haha! Crazy.

I'm hoping none of their players play. It would be a bold strategy, and I'd like to see how it would work out for them.

Sounds like you've analyzed all the data and are going with Georgia Tech by 3.
