Creighton? How? Why?
Looked at the box score. They shot 40?!?!? threes. Only made 10.

Went 4/27 against Texas the other night too. That makes us look like a good shooting team. Yikes.

I don’t think Creighton is a top 10 team. They played better against Texas than Nebraska. This might be the best Nebraska team under Hoiberg. Unlike previous years, players care and they are playing hard.

So ummmm we need UNC to start winning at some point right? I got grilled when I said they were not that good right now, and they certainly weren't the best team in the country. Well I didn't think they were this not good. Yikes.

I'm going to assume they get it together and make the tourney and any win vs. a tourney team is good.

If ISU gets beat Thursday but holds serve into the Baylor game they'll have no bad losses and then from there it comes down to the conference season.

Oh yeah I am not saying they will miss the tournament or anything like that. I think a win like that though you are hoping they at least finish in the top-15. Still so much basketball to play, but I want them to win out now lol. Give us not just a good win, but one of the best wins in the country.

They’ve lost 4 straight now. Yikes…… I still think they’ll get it turned around, but it’s not looking like a good as win as it was at the time.

Creighton on three game losing streak.

Shot 10-25 from three in L against Arizona (40%...good %)
Shot 4-27 from three in L against Texas (14%...not good)
Shot 10-40 from three in L against Nebraska (25%...not good)

Last two games they shot 67 threes and only made 14 for 20%. Ouch.

Yep, there are going to be nights where the players are feeling it, and others where they just come out flat and can't recover. That's what I love about our defensive system. When it is working, it doesn't give the other team a chance to feel like they're in rhythm.
Is Gonzaga even a top 25 team? Barely beat Kent State at home . Trailed by 4 with less than 4 minutes to go. Outscored Kent State 11-0 down the stretch

UNC is last year's Memphis.
