Re: Creighton Basketball 2015-2016
Its only the summer league but Kansas St. transfer Marcus Foster was putting on a show last night. He finished with a 10-year summer league record of 55 pts. Mo Watson (Boston U transfer) was also very good finishing with 50 pts. James Miliken also had a great dunk from the reports I've heard.
If those guys are able to make some of the shots they did last night, this season is going to be a major upgrade from last year.

Creighton gets another JUCO guard, Malik Albert. Word is Grosselle will walk-on which means the third year in a row of a starter walking on at Creighton.

Re: Creighton Basketball 2015-2016
Sounds like a good get...hopefully they can find space for all the new signees.
A year ago, via the NJCAA's official website, Albert played in 31 games and averaged 24.4 points and 4.5 assists per game with a free throw percentage of 79.4. He logged 42.8 points per 40 minutes and was 3rd in steals with 94.

Re: Creighton Basketball 2015-2016
From the 3 min of practice that the world herald had posted on their website: http://www.omaha.com/creighton/blog/tbl ... 55631.html
Ronnie Harrell's shot looks amazing. He hit all 3 of his contested 3's that he took. Sounds like the intensity has definitely picked up compared to last year. Exactly what this team needed. I am not predicting they finish in the top 2 or 3 in league play but I think there is a good chance they finish in the top half this year. Much more athletic players and much more attention to detail so far.

Re: Creighton Basketball 2015-2016
Rounded out by IUPUI, @OU, North Texas, Coppin State. And as predicted joining Nebraska Cornhuskers for worst home schedules....the Creighton Bluejays. The season ticket holders deserve better.skinzfan23 wrote:Creighton is releasing their 2015-2016 non-conference schedule on twitter, so far the games announced:

Re: Creighton Basketball 2015-2016
I'll take a non conference schedule that includes every major conference except the SEC.
Maybe just stick to game planning for Incarnate Word instead of trying to start |expletive| on a Friday afternoon.

Re: Creighton Basketball 2015-2016
You must be confused....I'm agreeing with Blueblood. The fans deserve better. As I noted in the Nebraska thread..the Jays home non con would be weak. Turns out I was right. Unfortunate for the season ticket holders for NU and CU.cp jay 07 wrote:I'll take a non conference schedule that includes every major conference except the SEC.

Re: Creighton Basketball 2015-2016
I am a huge Creighton fan and season-ticket holder. I agree, I wish the non-conference home slate was better. Two years ago it was awesome adding all the Big East schools, last year we had a home game with Oklahoma, but this year the only home non-conference game that sticks out is NE and that is not saying much.Huskerbaseball13 wrote: The fans deserve better.

Re: Creighton Basketball 2015-2016
At the end of the day both programs will be running out a roster that is pretty inexperienced so it is probably good for the teams. Not so much for the fans. Luckily there should be some solid teams coming to Lincoln and Omaha in conference play.skinzfan23 wrote:I am a huge Creighton fan and season-ticket holder.

Re: Creighton Basketball 2015-2016
While its way too early for preseason rankings, Creighton looks to have 2 very tough non-conference road games. ESPN is ranking Oklahoma #8 and Indiana #14.

The Jays won their first Italy trip game by 72 pts. Competition was not good but Creighton wins 119-47.
Malik Albert led all scorers with 20 pts. Khryi Thomas finished with 17 pts and 8 rebs. Martin Krampelj finished with 15 pts. Mo Watson finished with 9 pts and 7 assts.

Re: Creighton Basketball 2015-2016
Sometimes I almost wonder if this type of terrible competition hurts them. With so many newcomers this year, I think any playing time on the court together is a good thing.

Re: Creighton Basketball 2015-2016
Sad day for Jays' fans. The Dancing Granny passed away today. She was 92.
'Dancing Grandma' remembered for Bluejay passion, firing up fans

Sad. It was always fun seeing the crowd get all fired up when she "raised the roof".

For the record NEBUGEATER does not equal BUGEATER !!!!!!!

Creighton got a 2016 commit last week. Davion Mintz, a guard out of NC.

Re: Creighton Basketball 2015-2016
Sixteen transfers who will make the biggest impact this season
Yahoo Sports wrote:6. Cole Huff, Creighton (from Nevada): If Creighton ascends in the Big East pecking order this winter after last year's last-place finish, it's likely that Huff will be one of the primary reasons. The 6-foot-8 junior averaged 12.4 points and 5.4 rebounds in his final season at Nevada and led Creighton in scoring during its tour of Italy this summer. He played mostly power forward at Nevada but could see time at either forward spot for the Bluejays.
11. Maurice Watson, Creighton (from Boston University): The other Creighton transfer generating buzz entering the new season is Watson, a 5-foot-10 point guard who was too good for Patriot League competition even as a freshman. Watson averaged 13.3 points and 7.1 assists for the Terriers and he had a 4-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio during Creighton's tour of Italy this summer while also showing off an improved outside shot.

Sounds like Marcus Foster has a partially torn MCL and will miss 4-6 weeks, but should be back around Thanksgiving. Of course he has to sit out this year, so it shouldn't have an impact. Great to hear that he doesn't need surgery.

The Jays were picked to finish 9th in the Big East by the coaches this morning.
I see them more in the 5-7 range this year, but time will tell.

Re: Creighton Basketball 2015-2016
Foster was pretty good as a freshman for the Wildcats, so if he gets along with Coach McDermott, you Creighton fans should be in for some solid guard play next year and following.

Re: Creighton Basketball 2015-2016
Were you there? We were there as well. I think part of it would have to do with it being on Saturday this year instead of Friday and also b/c it was a men's basketball only, instead of co-ed.Brad wrote:Fun night at Sokol!

After seeing some of the athleticism from the guys on this year's team, I can't wait for this year and next. Yes, there are a ton of new faces who have little or no playing experience, but this team is far more athletic than last year's and probably even the few years before that. Mo Watson did an amazing job passing tonight. It is crazy how he can feed it in the paint with such little space.
Re: Creighton Basketball 2015-2016
Along with Mo, I thought the standouts tonight were Patton, Groselle, Krampelje (sp?) and Thomas. Looking forward very much to this season. I didn't realize Stewart was hurt. Anyone know the prognosis there?
My son got a 27 on his ACT. No this score is not as high as what Jeff's son achieved. But one has to remember the paternal gene-pool my son has to overcome. On a PGPAB [Paternal Gene-Pool Adjusted Basis], my son's score is a 37 and Jeff's son's PGPAB ACT score is 19.

I got there about 15 min early, but I did sprint out the door soon as the last dunk went down.
