Looking Ahead - Creighton

[MU82]

Ideal scenario is Providence loses at UConn and beats X at home, but we will see.

I think we will see exactly that!

[tower912]

Watching Creighton against SJU did not make me more optimistic about Tuesday.  That is too bad because the lack of a signature road win is the weakness in MU's resume'.

I think Kalkbrenner sags off Oso and clogs the lane.  I think the Omaha crowd is going to be raucous.  I think Creighton is going to be very efficient in offense.

For MU to win, hit 3's.   If Gold can hit two or three and force Kalkbrenner out of the lane for 10-12 minutes, that would be helpful.

We'll need to play our best game of the season, which certainly can happen. But gotta play better all-around ball than we have the last few games -- including hitting more open 3s than Creighton does.

Definitely winnable, but it will be really tough ... as it should be when you face an excellent team on the road.

I think we win in Omaha Tuesday night.  I expect MU to benefit from a week off, and Creighton having had a 2 game swing to the East Coast in 4 days.  Schiereman looks like he's gassed.  I expect we will see a bit more of Sean, Chase, and Gold than we did against X.  Sean will get into Nembhard for 12-15 minutes.  We will push the pace, Kam and O-Max bounce back from their subpar performances against X, and we win by 7.

This team controls its own destiny.  Their ranking of 14 in the Bracket Reveal can provide a bit more fuel to the F'em theme.  Win at Creighton and we have a very good chance of winning the Big East title and getting the Number 1 seed for Big East tournament.

I agree on all points.
I expect a good performance on Tuesday, and a win.
I think Shaka tries to run them out of the gym.
The shots have to fall, and thats been an issue of late, but hopefully we push the pace and drive early and often and don't settle for 3s, unless they are the drive and kick out variety.

We have a good shot at winning if we can out score them.

I agree Dr V and Elon.  Run them out of the gym and hit some drive and kick wide open threes at a good clip and we can win this game.  I know Kalk was out last time but we man handled their guards defensively and we can and will do it again with the title on the line.  Go MU!!

I agree with this assessment.

Always spot on

[Shooter McGavin]

One thing it will depend on is how the game will be called.  We can speed this team up and wear them down but if they call every touch foul that will definitely be in Creighton's  favor.

Let's hope the refs let the players decide the championship and don't have a quick whistle.

Having been to several Creighton games, I can assure you they get very favorable whistles from the refs.

I agree with this analysis

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Flow Q=AxV. Increase area and/or velocity and you increase flow, simple flow rate.

I agree with this analysis

Absolutely, it could happen just like this. I like it!

[Jay Bee]

Ugh, hello 2 seed in BET

[warriorchick]

Kalkbrenner looked really gassed at the end of last night's game.  Even the announcers were commenting on it.

Wearing him out early on Tuesday would be really helpful.

Did we ever get confirmation on what his "illness" was? Maybe still affecting him?

Coach McDermott playing Kalk heavy minutes 37, 45 , 36, 37,37 the last 5 games

Averaging 32.2 for the year

NOT saying this is the case, but having had mono in the past year, I am very conscious of this possibility:

Far more likely (my opinion) he is simply tired from playing so much.

  and this is why i like to hang out with you chili...you related to john madden?

[MUUWUWM]

Afraid of another Uconn type game.
