1.  There comes a time to stay home on defense.  Creighton exploited the crap out of switches. 
2.  Gold/Parham defending Ashworth with Kalkbrenner camping down low.  Adjustments?  That is the one.  Switch 1-4 instead of 1-5. 
3. Ashworth, with salt and pepper gray hair, playing like an old pro.
4. Chase cannot afford silly fouls.
5. Creighton is an offensive juggernaut.
6. Royce and Zaide show out.  Parham earned the extra minutes.  Looked tired at the end.
7. Neal being a difference maker was not on my radar.  Alas.
8. MU with a solid second half.  Creighton made the plays they had to to win at home. 
9.  That stretch is over.  Get back to work.

I heard the committee weights 3 entertaining losses differently. Difference between a 3 seed and a 6 seed.

MU lost against the teams at the top. Feasted on the bottom.

After all the only thing that matters right now is March success

10. Ben Gold has scored a grand total of 2 points over the last 4 games. I don't care how good his defense is. Cannot have that kind of offensive production from a starter.

Very entertaining losing every key game so far in February. 3 game losing streak but at least it's fun. What are you watching? once again we lose cause only 2 guys showed up.

Really disappointing to go 0-3 in that stretch.

Second game in a row where this team fights back only to fold in last 4 minutes.  Both games there to win, but they couldn't do it.

Hoping that the old Kam is back.

Not sure what's entertaining about wilting in the clutch again.

Battling back just to crumble gets old when it happens 4 times in like 3 weeks.

Stevie especially needs to find some self pride. There is no bigger insult in sports then being left wide open because the opponent. simply doesn't respect you and proceeding to miss 8 in a row.

This team has absolutely zero killer instinct

First half defense wasn't good enough. Kam figuring things out will help going forward. Second half was winning basketball, but once again tough to keep momentum when build yourself such a big hole you have to work so hard to get out of. Creighton hit the prayers they needed down the stretch. Ashworth telling everyone his old ass needs to go home, it's past his bed time. Or was it that he needs to put his child to sleep?

Didn't someone say Gold was hurt in the UCONN game? If that's the case, then he needs to sit until he is 100% because he's given us nothing of late.

9 - the stretch is over - go back to barely beating marginal BE teams we hope.


Every game this team has a player commit stupid fouls (Ross this time), go insanely cold (Mitchell this time), or continue to be a complete non-contributor (Gold for the last 4 games).

3- 7 to end the BE season is still on track.  Those laughing at a 5 seed predictions - 5 may be generous....

We said we'd learn a lot about this team in the 3 game stretch. I think what we learned is this team has become mediocre. They can't shoot the ball and with shakas offense you would think he would get some shooters. I feel there needs to be some rethinking in terms of the portal. Team is just a mess and not that good

Since neither one of you can manage your emotions when things go bad, maybe you should find something else to do with your time then. Why watch sports if it doesn't entertain you?

I enjoyed their comeback. Too bad they couldn't finish it. It happens.

Was hoping Kam's new hair style would be the difference.

We're doomed.

Lost a conference road game against a really good team.
Entertained by the return of Kam, Royce and Zaide, attacking the boards.

Looking forward to 6 of the next 7 games.

How much evidence did Shaka need to realize that switch is exactly what creighton wanted. I was fuming at the TV lol

Nothing about Stevie?- I love the guy and everything he does - but him missing 7 wide open threes in a row killed us and allowed them to play 5 on 4 on D when he was in.

You can see he's overthinking "oh no, I'm open again, geez I'd better shoot, maybe it will go in" rather than "I can't believe they left me open, I'm gonna stuff this in the hoop"

Stevie has been such a warrior but pretty embarrassing game for him. Creighton just simply said "you aren't good enough to make wide open threes" and they were right today.

Its hard to compete against really good teams when you are constantly playing 3 vs 5 on the offensive end. Love Stevie but he can't miss those wide open threes and then turn down shot after shot.

Defensively,we struggle if we don't turn them over. That high screen killed us.

Two positives in an "entertaining loss", Kam find his mojo and Zaide/Parham contributing more and more.

You seem frustrated. You should find something else to do with your time. Paint a picture. Take up yoga.

But instead you waste a Saturday embarrassing yourself in the game topic.

SMH.
