Time for a RUN
You have to stack stops to make a run. We haven't proven capable.

The biggest need this off season is a defense scheme.

Nembhard shoots 42% from the field and 36% from 3


Tonight he's shooting 75% from the field and 67% from 3.

That's the problem with leaving guys wide open and letting them get hot early.

Sometimes, they never cool off.

And? The rest of the league is average. Whats bs is the "top to bottom" most dominate league horse**** talk.

We are helping but I've watched other games this tourney and teams are clanking open looks. You knew they would go off so need some D

Creighton is shooting better from 3 than we are from the field...

Another wide open 3 for Nembhard. Sometimes, you don't deserve to win
MashedPotatoes

Not guarding Neimrod is our strategy...we lose.
Jack Bauer
How long do you want to ignore this user?
We just need to score 90 to have a chance!
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
And just as I say that he hits ANOTHER wide open 3.

I'm not sure who or what is responsible for this defensive travesty this year, but it has certainly been that -- a travesty.

Can't even hit a GD FT!!!!

Doesn't help that we have all of TCU and Gonzaga here rooting against us now

That's irrelevant to the game in Denver.

Not when they are in Denver as well…you understand that right?

Get Thamba out of there! He still doesn't know how to defend or rotate after 150 games.

I'd like to take a switch to the entire roster.

Mark it down -- Creighton will lose their next game while shooting about 40%

There is sonething to be said for going right at them, but we need some stops too.

Yes, because Princeton will actually, you know, guard them.

They would play 15 seed Princeton. Pretty easy road to the elite eight
