Picked it up, and it was like the size of a Halloween candy. And it was….$2 (something like that). I laughed, said “nope,” and put it back. Shrinkflation - I h...

Re: Creighton Basketball 2023-2024

What a dominant 2nd half by the Jays. Baylor is playing amazing and yet another all-around team performance. Going to be a wild one on Tuesday vs UConn. It was really 2 different halves. In the first half Creighton just didn’t seem to have their act together. Maybe it was Butler’s defense but watch...

Re: Creighton Basketball 2023-2024

Looks like a good game. Creighton’s 3 percentage was only 25%. I see a bigger concern right now, at this point of the season, the Big 4 starting seniors are almost all averaging close to 40 min a game recently. Not much relief - hope they don’t start wearing down and have avoid injuries .

It was a good game but they still need to figure out an offense, Purdue had a ‘spy’ on Haarberg so there was always someone waiting for him. And watching that game I really felt he doesn’t want to lateral to a trailing back as he ‘feels’ he can do it all. He had 19 carries for 22 yards.
