Channel 3 should have a nice video clip after that last shot by McDermott at the 2min mark... Talking junk!

Did everything in their power to give that game away at the end. Nice to win a tough one, need to play better these last 3 games.

I got to the CenturyLink at 2:30 (1 1/2 hrs before tip off) and they were already out of McDermott bobbleheads. Disappointed, but at least the Jays came away with another win and we got to witness McDermott move into 10th place in front of the 3rd largest crowd all-time (18,742)

Doesn't matter how the wins come in late February, as long as they are there.

Just win baby

Wow that is crazy, I did find one on there for $350, but that is still too much.
The line on the south entrance was lined up all the way to 10th and Capitol.

Ended with 2917. Needs to average 27.666... to hit 3000 on Sr night. 20.75 to hit it first round of the BE Tournament in NYC. He scored 14 vs. Georgetown(2nd lowest total of the season) in the 7 games since he is averaging 30.7 PPG.

Would be perfection to hit 3000 in Omaha.

Nice, thanks for the math....I was thinking all of the same things. It would be sweet to have him get 3,000 at home. Either way, he should pass Oscar Robertson at home.

Thats unbelievable, considering they haven't beaten a top 25 team this year and their only 2 matchups vs top 25 teams, they have lost. Granted, they do have a 19 game winning streak.

It's pretty funny to see Villanova ranked ahead of Creighton, after losing 2 games to Creighton by more than 50 points. The math isn't working on that one...

I heard on the radio this afternoon that Dick Vital and come other guy both had Creighton ranked around 17th or 18th in their poll, but both had Villanova in the top 10.

Vital is the Lee Corso of college basketball, so I'm not surprised to see that from him.

How about this math:

Villanova beat RPI 1, 37, 47 and lost to RPI 9, 7, 7
Creighton beat RPI 4, 4, 32 but lost to RPI 19, 29, 47, 56

Head to head only really counts in conference standings.

I understand Nova has more quality wins, and less embarrassing losses, but I cannot get over the head-to-head blowouts, and wouldn't think a voter could, either. Vital should be committed for ranking Creighton 18th, though.

Not a bad interview with DP, but he asked mostly forward looking pro questions than collegiate ones. Gave great props to Wragge.

Creighton game a sellout, SRO tix available

Shannon Russell: Cincinnati.com wrote:The good news is that there are still premium seats available from Vivid Seats, the preferred ticket reseller of Xavier Athletics, and – for the first time in school history – standing room only tickets.

skinzfan23 · Post by **skinzfan23** » Thu Feb 27, 2014 8:27 am

Wow, that is impressive. First time ever for standing room only....all that because the Jays are coming to town. I remember in the Missouri Valley games, Creighton was always everyone's biggest home game. Places like UNI (normally around 4,000 at a game) had over 7,000.....Drake (normally 2-3,000) had over 5,000 and so on.

skinzfan23 · Post by **skinzfan23** » Thu Feb 27, 2014 2:23 pm

I can't wait to see what the crowd on March 8th is going to be against Providence in the last home game of the year. Creighton has won 17 straight home games and Providence is the only team to beat the Jays by double-digits this year. Throw in McDermott, Wragge, Gibbs and the rest of the seniors playing their last home and a "white out", I think that the atmosphere is going to be electric. Maybe this will be the game where we break the 19,000 mark for attendance.

Coyote · Post by **Coyote** » Thu Feb 27, 2014 3:06 pm

Is it officially a white out?

Coyote wrote:Is it officially a white out?

I will double check, but from what I understand, Creighton is giving out free t-shirts to the first 5,000 fans. They haven't done as good of a job promoting it this year, but most people are following the Jays more closely so maybe they didn't need to.
