He wouldn't be able to if we'd guard him occasionally.

George 3-17 last 3 halves
One more bad half from him, and we are going home.

Hot shooting by Creighton and comical ref calls (or lack of calls) and BU down 10 at the half.
Let's not forget 36% shooting and 13% from 3. Dreadful shooting, dreadful defense. Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln...

A decent game by George would have us in the game.

The refs are bad. Are we in Phog Allen?

As stupid as it may sound, my issue with KG isn't as much about him being 3-17. It's that he takes rushed shots that kill offensive possessions, usually at the most inoportune time.

Dude is 3-17 in the tournament. Clutch
And he was 4-17 in the three games before it.

This kid is going to get chewed up and spit out in the NBA.

7/34 (20.5%) is really not good

George will develop into a very good NBA player. But that won't matter tonight. We need him and all 3 of our guards to step it up in the 2nd half. Good D in the post. Need to keep that up. And the refs need to make some halftime adjustments.

he reminds me of those kids in the late 90's/early 2000's that went straight to the NBA and got thumped. like sebastian telfair, darius miles, kwame brown type hype.

By the stats, Creighton has 5 more points than us from free throws, and 15 more points from 3-point shots than we do.

We catch up in those two stats and we win by 10.
That which does not kill me, will try again and get nastier

That foul on Flo was atrocious and changed things a bit

I was wondering with that crazy swing on the point spread a few hours ago....Some captain in the Mafia embedded in Denver with inside info.

We were down by 12 against them in 2017 and won by 6. Our guards will heat up. Flagler will go off. LETS GO BEARS

Need to make shots.

I think we blew the only fast break opportunities we had.

I'd like to see some slip screens for Bridges to start the second half.

Just seems we were on the cusp of doing good things in the first just could r put it all together.

Lohner can't miss from 3 in warm up. Hopefully we give him some looks here in the second

Flagler is struggling to stay conscious

Haha.. that's our last resort...let's get Flag and George off first.

Knowing the background and context of those three players specifically, I disagree.

I don't see any personality traits that I see as red flags. And of those players you mentioned had substance abuse issues

The tallest guy on the court isn't the one killing us tonight. It's the shortest guy.

Flo rejects big guy then watches a little guy drive for a layup.
