2012-2013 Creighton Basketball
Moderators: Coyote, nebugeater, Brad, Omaha Cowboy, BRoss
What is really going to keep hurting Creighton are these (pretty significant) losses in Valley play, a conference which the rest of the country thinks is pretty lousy. I don't think it is, but that is the perception.
If I recall, last year, Creighton seemed to fall apart a bit at the middle/last half of the season, too. Maybe there is something coach McDermott should address?

Outside of Drake what are these "Significant" losses in the valley? Losing by 3 when WSU was a top 25 team on the road, or losing on the road at Indy State who was one of the last 4 In in last weeks bracketology? Drake was a bad loss. Â
Last night was a must win game from Indiana State, they came out on a mission with one of the biggest crowds their arena has seen since Bird was there, they lose they are probably out looking in, now they have wins over Miami, Ole Miss, Creighton and Wichita State, not a bad a resume.
I'm not saying Creighton is the final 4 team we all wanted but they are not a bubble team (yet). Still 1st in the valley and I would like to think a easy road home, split with ISU already and a home game against WSU are the main challenges, UNI will be tough but they are having a very up and down year.

Jays had the ball in hand in the final seconds to beat Drake. Not the ideal scenario but not a blowout. They fought back.S33 wrote:Drake and Indiana St were blowouts. I guess WSU wasn't bad (though, it turns out they aren't as good as advertised, either), but it's looking like this Creighton team is runnig out of gas as of late.

Crazy last second chance for Creighton but I don't feel they executed it well. The Hail Mary only works if all you need to do is catch the ball, not turn around and try to shoot with less than a second. Big rematch from St Louis though and will make the MVC tourney that much more competitive and exciting.

They are going to need to go down to St Louis and win it...skinzfan23 wrote:Yet another loss by the Jays....this time @ N Iowa 54-61. This season got really ugly in the last 8 games. Now they are going to have to really fight to even make the tournament.

After watching hte Huskers fall to Ind last night I turned on the radio and listed to the second 1/2 of the CU game. Â From what I listed to the part that was most dispointing is that I didn't hear a game where they got beat because UNI played the perfect game but rather becuase the Jays just kept playing themself out of a chance to win.
For the record NEBUGEATER does not equal BUGEATER !!!!!!!

After the game they had a long meeting in the locker room to try to get them to come together and play better. Â Usually the media press conference starts about 5 min after the game, last night it was closer to 20 min after the game.skinzfan23 wrote:Jays win 59-45 over S. Ill in front of 17,311.

Hopefully it will do them some good. They MUST win out.
This is a joke right? Were you at the game? Easily 17,000 there, every section pretty full along with the bleachers behind the bud bar full again.Big E wrote:I'm sure this has been discussed ad nauseum before, but there was no way in heck there were 17,000 people there last night. 10,000 might be stretching it.skinzfan23 wrote:Jays win 59-45 over S.

Now if you saw the joke of a student section half empty I could see where you get this assumption from.
They were sitting all the way to the top all the way around... Â The lower bowl seats 9000+ so your 10,000 is way off.Big E wrote:I'm sure this has been discussed ad nauseum before, but there was no way in heck there were 17,000 people there last night. 10,000 might be stretching it.skinzfan23 wrote:Jays win 59-45 over S.

The biggest problem is on nights like last night when the student section isn't full.

You are absolutely delusional if you think there were only 10-12,000. There was easily 17,000. You either have really bad eye sight or your perception of how many people there are in a space is pathetic. On the low end there may have been 16,500 but nothing nearly as close to your delusional statement.

You are dead serious? May I ask what you are basing this off of? Where you there or just flipped by it on TV? I can tell you for a fact and prove it to you there was over 17K there last night.Big E wrote:I can't even begin to believe they were closer to 17K than to 10K. I'll give you 12-13K at absolute most. I still think I'm closer at 10K, though.Brad wrote:The lower bowl seats 9000+ so your 10,000 is way off.
