2012-2013 Creighton Basketball

I'll readily admit my judgement of capacity may be off, but that was not a packed house unless 15-20% of the crowd is out of it's seat at any given time. Â 13k-14k tops. Â I'm looking at pics I took during national anthem and 4-5 minutes into the 1st and you can't swing a dead cat without finding blocks of 8-10 empty seats. Â
Were there 17K+ in the building over the course of the night? Â Sure.
Also, please turn this into a big deal about how I hate Creighton and you're way more awesome than I am.

Stable genius.
Fair enough. Â There may have been 17K at the Budwesier platform or whatever that thing is called.the1wags wrote:I wasn't there, but dollar beer night in Omaha, I'm putting attendance somewhere around 42,000. ;)
If there were ever 14K in the seats at one time watching basketball then I'm a monkey's uncle.

According to a CU official, CU counts attendance as Tickets Sold, plus free tickets that are actually redeemed.bigredmed wrote:The Bluejays are famous for "Ohio voting" their bball attendance figures.S33 wrote:At the risk of getting yelled at, I didn't think it looked very full, either.

But why does it matter, anyway

I think what Creighton does is pretty consistent with other sports programs. Â I do agree the actual attendance can very significantly with the amount of tickets sold plus the free ones that were redeemed.bigredmed wrote:The Bluejays are famous for "Ohio voting" their bball attendance figures.S33 wrote:At the risk of getting yelled at, I didn't think it looked very full, either.

It almost seems as though they are reluctant to make any changes to the lineup or defensive scheme. I know that they are all tough decisions but yesterday they didn't start playing zone until the second half. Once they did, they played much better on d.
Also it would be a very tough call to take Austin Chatman out, but lately he is killing Creighton. Yesterday he played 27 minutes (0-7 from the field, 0-3 from 3, 2 pts, 2 assts, 1 reb). He just dribbles the ball up the court and picks up his dribble at the 3 point line. He is afraid to drive and now he won't even take an open shot when he has one. This is simply not acceptable for a starting point guard. The problem is, there is no one else on the team that can consistently play the point guard spot either.
Creighton definitely needs to start recruiting some athletic players because it is really apparent that they are getting killed in that department. They used to have a full-court press, but even that can't be used often with the lineup we have.
All in all, still a great season 22-7, but they really need to win the final 2 valley games and have a good showing in the MVC tournament.

I hope you have a great time and can't wait to see some pics. Â I remember last year, someone posted one from the hotel with all the Jays fans and all the blue. Â It was a great site to see.almighty_tuna wrote:I'll be heading to St. Louis next week for the MVC tournament so will have some pics, post-game press conference stuff for that. I hope I won't be coming home before Sunday!
It's probably not true. Â So, spread it like wild fire.S33 wrote:I'm slow, please spell that out for me. Not quite understandingLinkin5 wrote:Rumor going around about EW, DM, and a GF as maybe why there are problems with team.
Never mind, I got it. Yeah, if true, could be a distraction. But this was a meltdown of sorts.

On a non game note it was sad in some ways to watch Creighton on 3.2 over the air last night and find that the broadcast quality was better than a KMTV home broadcast on the main Ch 3 network, over the air or otherwise. With the limited band width that a sub ch gets the picture quaility was still very good and I am guessing it was originating as HD. Same cannot be said for the CH 3 originated home games. The two Bradly home guys calling the game didn't do too bad either and were not calling it completely as homers I thought.

Found this picture on bluejayunderground.com. Â This the standing room only line as of about 10 min after 10 this morning. Â Inside and outside the arena waiting to get tickets. Â This should be the loudest the C-Link has ever been. Â This is also only the third time in the last 30 years of the Valley that two teams are squaring off on the last game of the season with the conference championship on the line.

Just got back from the game. All I can say is WOW!!! Dougie's performance was absolutely incredible 41 pts on 15/18 FG's??? Just Insane. not to mention being perfect from inside the arc. The last two games he's 27/35 for 73 pts!!! Just give him the POY already!!!

Great win by the Jays today! Â I watched much of the 2nd half on my Ipad while at the Home opener for Husker Baseball. Â DM is finsihing strong to say the least. Â What a game with 41 points, there have been games where I have watched my Huskers struggle to get that as a team the last couple of years! Â Way to finsih strong.
What are the thoughts on the chance that Doug M comes back for his senior year from those of you who follow CU closer than I do?
