They have struggled with 3 point shooting though

We struggle because we take bad 3's. The corner 3 is the best 3 you can take and for whatever dumb reason our guys routinely miss the opportunity to pass to wide open guys there. Banton chucking from the wing and hitting all backboard is a sign that he should not ever be shooting 3's except from spots where the coaches have given him the green light. But even that is more acceptable than half the drives we make where we try to go through 2-3 defenders. Bad basketball IQ from multiple players. Not a good sign for the rest of the year.

I've never felt Thor was a Big Ten-caliber player, but I actually thought he played pretty well tonight. He's perhaps the only guy on the team with the attention span required to take every possession seriously.

You are right. He is one of the few team players that seems to understand the game. He should drop 10-15 pounds, IMO.

Last years team was creightons best

we just don’t belong on the same floor as teams like this
Really?? 44-40 at half and we don't belong on the same floor? What you saw was a team that has played together for quite a few years against a team that is first year playing together.

Why do you say that? The best team they played is Bill Self's worst team ever at KU and they lost.
Because he was one of their best 2 players last year and an all big east defensive player? He basically silenced every guard he was matched up against last year, and could score a ton too

The rest of the team just has an amazing tendency to trim the opponent's lead down to 4 or 5, then they take a few possessions off and boom - down by 14. Seems to happen to them over and over again.

Creighton will get 3rd or 4th in the Big East. Nova and Marquette look like much better teams. They look to be about even with Seton Hall and Providence. Probably a tourney team but not even close to top 10

I also think there was a bit of a hangover from the Kansas loss too. Creighton just looked different in the 2nd half.

That's why I question the S&C. Some of our "guards" look borderline fat. Multiple guys need to drop some weight. There is no need to be musclebound as a basketball player.

I think Creighton's very good, I'm still just not convinced they're really top 10. Last night I watched #24 San Diego State completely dismantle Arizona State, and SDSU is either really underrated or Creighton is a little too high. They seem more top 20 or 25-ish to me.

It doesn't even matter, they suck at the end of every season and they are horrible in tourney games.

I feel like it takes this team so much effort to score. So many cuts, picks, rolls, to get an open shot and on defense we stand around and give our opponents easy wide open shots.
Yep, usually a sign of a bad team.l with a system they just can’t execute.

Nova yes, MQ I’m not so sure.

Creighton is good. Huskers aren’t. For the billionth year in a row, it seems.
