Creighton players outside of Kalkbrenner are shooting 7 of 27. Creighton D is holding NC State to around 35% shooting.
They'll get hot against us. We make everybody better offensively. But we won't look so inept offensively either.

So basically Iowa State hits from half court, behind their head, over the backboard, from the 3rd row in the stands and everywhere between, when they play us. And they can't hit the broad side of a barn against anyone else. Is that what's going on against Pitt?

This game, in general, is an affront to James Naismith.

The teams have combined to shoot like 25 percent from the field.

So ISU can beat us three times, beat KU, UT, KSU.

But put them up against an average SEC challenge team or an average ACC team, and they completely fold.

This Pitt-Iowa State game is unwatchable. Neither team deserves to advance.


Maybe Pitt does because they are out-playing Iowa State.

Creighton it is.

Flo. Big Boy. We need the game of your life Sunday. Just picture Drew Timme every time you see Kalkbrenner.

Iowa state barely scores a point a minute in blowout loss to Pitt

Creighton doesn't have the length or bodies on the perimeter to give our guards trouble...we can't let Baylor Schiermann get open outside.

Would be nice for at least 2 of 3 guards to have great game. And to rebound like Mark Vital / Rico was in the roster

Admittedly all I know about Creighton is what I just saw in this game, but it appears to me if Flo and EJ can at least limit Kalkbrenner for most of the game and our shooting is at least average (by our standards) it should be our game to lose. Having said that, it's still March madness and we're still talking about us, so who knows?

I want to channel 2014 when we were the #6 and they were the #3 and we shot lights out while they couldn't hit a shot to save their lives. Here's to hoping that's what happens again Sunday!

My first Creighton game too..I feel like we're a little quicker and athletic than them.. outside and inside.

We have to have George show up Sunday.

I remember that game. I was driving back from out of town and had to listen to it on SXM. Brad Sham was doing the radio play by play and I recall him referring to Rico as "Mount Gathers" because of what a rebounding beast he was for us during the game.

Was that the same season we put up something like 13 in the first half of our Sweet 16 game against Wisconsin and went on to lose big?

Kalkbrenner is more skilled than athletic/explosive. I'm hoping this will be a matchup where Flo is useful. It's hard to predict, though.

They'll have trouble keeping this up, but FDU is off to a great start against Purdue. They're frustrating the Boilermakers on both ends right now.

More upsets on the women's side than men's today (7 seed FlaSt and 6 seed Creighton both lose)

This Fairleigh Dickinson team is giving me St. Peter's vibes.

Like St. Peter's last year against Kentucky, FDU has the two best guards on the floor.

Roberts and Singleton are quicker than a hiccup. They're consistently beating their man and either getting to the rim or forcing help for a backdoor cut. As long as their offense is lane-focused, they're going to stay in this game because they're getting high-percentage shots.

Gonzaga had a 10-3 lead over Grand Canyon but the Lopes just scored twice & Timme turned it over. The game is starting to get more interesting!

Pretty cool that Homer and Mrs. Drew got to watch both of their boys coach today. It would be even cooler if both won.

Yes it would!

10-0 run for GCU
Timme missed both FTs

Would love to see another Drew get a tourney win an Timme & Co to exit in the first round. Would be lovely.
