How did Creighton beat UConn a while back.

Uconn has been on a streak late in the season

ESPN basketball gurus said this morning that Bama was the team left that could beat UConn...

They don't know what they're talking about. Bama is almost 100% offense, and they struggle against goid defensive teams that can limit their scoring...like Uconn.

This.  I met Joyce Gardner (5* that just went to USC) and the #1 reason she chose USC over UT was the LVB staff couldn't connect with her because 'they seemed old and disconnected'. and she wanted UT

Wow that's quite an indictment

I just wish we had gone ahead and beaten usc junior in the SEC tournament

I wish Kellie well and appreciate her effort

I hope UConn beats them so bad they cry like bitches.

Yes. Bama deserves that, for sure 

Bama will be baby seal clubbed by UConn, it won't even be close

I will be rooting for Purdue  

Great season....would have liked it to continue but it was great while it lasted 👍

They are 1-0 in the NCAA semifinals.   

And 0-1 in the final 

Odd not seeing a UGA or Bama defender on the list.

Odd.....and also very welcome! 

Excellent get.  182nd overall player in the country is good, even allowing that recruiting rankings are not perfect, but he also has a very impressive offer list.

So glad we have Garner...pay the man whatever he wants.   

In addition to winning and advancing, they will knock out one of my teams in the Final Four.

What?  You didn't pick them to beat Arizona? (or a previous team).  Shocked. I am shocked! 

We should have beaten USC jr in the SEC tourney.  I hated to see how hard Kellie took that. I really like her and want her to succeed, but if next year is the disaster we fear it may be without Jackson, a change will have to be made.

The team did improve from her earlier years, but has a long way to go.

2 East coast teams?
Good luck

I thought about it some more the other day....Gonzoga is on the West Coast, so its for that game.  In which case, why not make that the late game????


Long story short...CBS anticipates more $$$ from accommodating Purdue Gonzaga than UT Creighton. 

In fairness, although they are known to sometimes be good at bball, Creighton is hardly a household name, and our bball success, although recently we have done well, has not been consistent over time.

Here?s what he has done:

I'm sad that Indiana is not in the top 10.  They have 5 NCs, and were briefly tied with Kentucky in the 90s for second most after UCLA.  But since then, UNC, Kansas, and UConn have all won a lot of NCs, and UK has won 3 more, while IU has won zero.  I guess technically they were no. 11 from the way the article was written, but I grew up rooting for them when Knight was their coach, and they have not been the same since.

No real Cinderellas left in the tourney now.

NC State qualifies

Is the goal to tank ratings?

I read that they are trying to get more West Coast types to watch,  FWIW.

Jackson saved Kellies job for another year by coming back. She missed 8 games early due to injury and we looked like crap....but won enough to save Kellies job when she came back. Stop and think what we would have looked like this year without Jackson. Ugly.

I was thinking it will be ugly without her next year 

Just as importantly, since the 3 point shot has only been around about 40 years, this type of game only happens about once or twice every tournament between all 63 games. It was truly a historically bad shooting performance. Surely it couldn?t happen to Tennessee twice in one tournament!

 

Rooting for Oregon, but whoever it is, WWFDT 

We have those stinkers every NCAA tournament.....only we lose them.

100%

But we survived this one!   

I wasn't nervous at all until about the 8 minute mark of the second half.  Then it was incredibly nerve wracking  

On pins and needles...but the good thing is, I've felt that cold sense of dread before and we lost. I felt like it was heading that way tonight, but we pulled it out.  

I agree with what someone said below somewhere....this was our flop game, and we survived it.  

I hope

 

Rick  apparently asked him if he wanted to come out for a blow
Response was a look that lowered the arena temp about 30 degrees

love it!

 

Atrocious 3 point shooting, but we made two in a row at the end when it mattered.
