Creighton Basketball 2022-2023

It’s so crazy this season is the opposite of last year. Last season there weren’t any expectations and the team played really well. This year expectations were sky high and I am 100% sure nobody expected them to be 9–7 at this point in the season.

Truly disappointing. I didn’t expect 7 losses all season..

There’s still a ton of conference basketball left to play, but this team might have gotten absorbed reading their press clippings a bit. They should be pretty humbled by now…

Yeah I’m right there with ya, I was thinking maybe about 7 losses for the entire season.

The crazy thing is, they are just so hot and cold with shooting, I didn’t feel like they played particularly bad yesterday just couldn’t hit a shot at all. If the Jays couldn’t even made a decent amount of their three-point attempts, it would’ve been a whole different ball game. I feel like I’ve said that at least four or five times already this year though.

There's no denying the Jays have a very tough schedule this year, but many of these problems are brought upon themselves through turnovers and poor shooting. Saturday easily could have been a W.

skinzfan23 · Post by **skinzfan23** » Mon Jan 09, 2023 5:19 pm

The Jays now have their highest NET ranking of the season at #24 right now....so in terms of that the tough schedule is paying off.

As to the UConn game, the Jays could have pulled it off but it still was about as tough as a road match for anyone in the NCAA this year, as the old saying goes, win at home and hope to steal a few on the road.

skinzfan23 · Post by **skinzfan23** » Mon Jan 09, 2023 5:45 pm

Surprisingly, Creighton is actually getting more votes for the AP poll this week even after the Uconn loss, they are #37.

Did look at the stats and confirmed that Trey is an "x" factor for the Jays. of course they need Kalk, but out of their 7 losses Trey has only shot better than 50% once...here are those numbers:

Ariz: 6-11
Texas: 0-8
Neb: 3-12
BYU: 3-12
ASU: 3-8
Marq: 2-6
Conn: 3-14

DePaul ended the longest losing streak to conference opponent beating Nova for the first time since 2008, nova had won 22 consecutive.

Hard to believe that nova is now only 8-9 on the season.

Big game for the Jays tonight @ #12Xavier (Creighton's 6th ranked opponent of the year...all on the road)

This team could really use a great road win like this, since they haven't had one since Maui.

almighty_tuna · Post by **almighty_tuna** » Wed Jan 11, 2023 3:05 pm

No kidding. Winnable game again, let's see if they can keep their poop in a group.

Creighton made the Top 5 for 2024 5-star recruit Trentyn Flowers (Arkansas, NC, Louisville, Alabama were the other schools)

As a side note, the Jays have never had a 5-star recruit.

He is expected to make his decision within the next 3 months.

2024 five-star SF Trentyn Flowers cuts list to five

Trentyn Flowers, the No. 21 overall prospect in the 2024 class, has cut his list of suitors down to five options: Alabama, Arkansas, Creighton, Louisville and North Carolina. The 6-foot-8, 210-pound small forward out of Charlotte (N.C.) Combine Academy discussed his finalists as well as his timeframe on a decision with 247Sports.

Creighton: "Coach Williams and coach McDermott are my guys. I went on an official visit there too and it was a great visit. They do a great job of keeping in touch with me and also the style of play and the history they have and the players they've had, that's why Creighton made it in there."

Flowers has already taken four official visits this season to Louisville, Georgia State, Creighton and Oklahoma. He has one remaining that he could take before he makes a decision, but if so he is going to need to knock it out fast. Flowers is a five-star prospect ranking as the No. 8 overall small forward.

#12 Xavier Wins Offensive Slugfest Over Men's Hoops
Baylor Scheierman scores a season-high 25 points

CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Baylor Scheierman had a season-high 25 points but No. 12 Xavier rallied from a halftime deficit to defeat Creighton, 90-87, on Wednesday evening at a sold out Cintas Center on the Xavier campus. Xavier (14-3) won its 10th straight game while improving to 6-0 in BIG EAST play for the first time, while Creighton (9-8, 3-3) fell to 2-4 against top-25 competition this winter.

Creighton returns home on Saturday to host No. 19 Providence at 1 p.m. in a game that will air on FS1, 1620 AM and 101.9 FM.

Creighton posted earlier today that the game vs Providence only has 100 tickets left, should be another sellout

skinzfan23 · Post by **skinzfan23** » Thu Jan 12, 2023 7:14 pm

Creighton has the #2 ranked SOS according to KenPom after last night's game and it will probably remain about the same after facing Providence who also has a high SOS.

This Jays season is beginning to take the shape of- Opportunity lost..

What a gut punch of a road loss last night…

skinzfan23 · Post by **skinzfan23** » Fri Jan 13, 2023 4:02 am

Yes that loss really sucks, but there is still hope. They have gotten through the toughest part of their road schedule except @ Providence. Hopefully they can turn things around quickly

The Jays are somehow favored by 6 1/2 points over Providence today who has a nine game winning streak and is leading the big east

I feel like that can be accurate only if the game is 37min long.

What a huge win, the jays needed it. Finally another top 25 win! Providence had won 9 in a row, feels like it’s been forever since the jays have beaten a good team.
