Our switching defense is hard to watch, and the Creighton center is soft. You just breathe on him, and he falls down.

On another note, sit George for Bonner. We won't come back or win with George playing big minutes. He is a HUGE liability on both ends of the court right now.

Switch to a matchup zone. They are highly skilled on offense. Our D gives up constant open looks

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

That's irrelevant to the game in Denver.

Got to put Bridges back in... the lead just went from 5 to 11.

We're 8 of 11 this half and have lost points.

This one is over, I'm afraid.

We just flat suck on the defensive end.

Nope. They gave us the ball 9 times in the first half and we just jacked off.
