Average post game drivel.

[pbiflyer]

They have zero depth.

None.

People talk all the time about how good teams shorten the bench and only go 7 deep tops in march.

But Creighton has literally 5 guys(and it stays 5 cause if Kalky is healthy then King is basically nothing)

Not only did their bench not score until the end, they only had a total of 4 rebounds out of 34.

OMax dunk in traffic deserves a call out.

[PGsHeroes32]

Saw on Creighton board

One poster said "we are losing to an inferior team" and then about 5 of them jumped on it asking what he was talking about.

They are down on themselves but love the depth we have compared to CU

[MuggsyB]

Our guards and Jop had an unusually poor shooting night.  But it was still never in doubt so that's a good sign.

It does. It was an incredible display of athleticism and aggressiveness.

[GB Warrior]

Stevie is such a fun energy on this team too. He's not the most important player and maybe not top 5. But he plays exactly the way Shaka wants. And that dunk was great

[MuggsyB]

The game plan was spot-on tonight although some of our guys forced off the bounce.  I'm just concerned that at some point we'll have to knock down these open looks and attacks at the rim.

Creighton started out hot, then we dropped a 19-2 run on them and it was over. Defense was awesome. Got to 90% of the defensive boards. Offense was actually pretty poor, but it didn't have to be great. The only disappoinment is that when the lead frittered down, it went from 18 to 11 instead of 25 to 18, because the way we dominated them it should've been more lopsided.

Both his and OMax dunks seemed to defy gravity. They hung in the air longer than I thought they would.

And shout out to tower for the best title yet!

Shaka postgame said that Stevie's dunk was "much better than Kam's" lol. Love this team.

That's about as dominant of an 11 point win as you can have.  That game easily could have been MU by 25.  Joplin may be the most maddening player I recall in some time.  It's like it is the best of times and worst of times with him.  Hopefully he keeps working hard with Todd Smith to improve his athleticism.

O-Max is playing really well.  Shaka is the real deal.  But.  5 years to judge.  Ode to the Bailbondmen.

If you think Joplin is maddening as they come, think back to anyone not named Markus or Sam under Wojo.

OMax was awesome today imo.
There were several difficult buckets that he got that previous omax wouldn't have.
He's not forcing anything either.

Changing my tune in him, love what I'm seeing.

[pbiflyer]

It was funny, after watching the Mississippi State game in Ft Myers, my son, who was not a huge bball aficionado, said OMax was his favorite player, liked the way he played. Good eye kid.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Wasn't the prettiest game but these guys are good. Exciting stuff.

We did not play well. Missed open shots, poor finishing at the rim. And we won by double digits. I'll take it.

Don't agree Brew.

I think Marquette played very well.

They were down like 7/8 points at the near 10 min mark in the 1H and never looked back.

It was the ease that impressed me.
That's a well coached Creighton team, a team that Shaka couldn't crack last year.

[Its DJOver]

Our leading scorer on the season had 9 points on 11 shots. Efficient night for Oso and Omax made up for it. Turnover margin was huge.

Whos our leading scorer?

On the season, Kam. And he had 9 points on 11 shots, although a couple of those layups were begging to fall.

I think the biggest deficit was 6. Unfortunately, I think this game says more about Creighton than it does about us. We played poorly and Creighton couldn't find a way to keep it close. Nembhard has to be better for them and other guys need to step up regardless of whether Kalkbrenner is in the lineup. That is the one great thing about this MU team; we aren't completely reliant on one player. Even Ben Gold showed tonight he can carry some minutes if Oso is out.

*Played poorly on offense. Defense was fantastic after the first 10.

I'm really impressed with the way they handled an off shooting night. Heads didn't drop. They just kept wearing them down.

Take a step back and think about is comment.

I get what brew is saying about Creighton being overvalued.

This was a top 5/10 team before this losing streak.
This is a top predicted team in the BE.

Will they finish there?
Who cares.
Keep winning and it won't matta

They've lost 6 in a row for a reason. Creighton's offensive holes are being exposed. It isn't a knock on our guys to point out that this win doesn't look as good as it would have a month ago. I hope Creighton rights the ship, but this may just go down as an average Big East win. That I'll still take.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

I giggled when I was perusing twitter and saw someone say will Shaka jump to another big time gig.

Means we're doing something right if the coaching rumor mill is getting fired up again for the first time in ages.

Our defense played well. Our offense didn't remotely play well. Creighton was also abysmal offensively. We did help that, but with a competent offensive showing we win by 25. They really miss Kalkbrenner, especially Nembhard who is impotent without a marginally competent pick and roll partner.
