    Deveroes Summer League

    Lawrence and possibly others are not in Cincy yet, so I wouldn't be in a hurry to go see Slats yet. I imagine we will hear something when Lawrence starts playing for them.

    Dear Creighton

    Good stuff. Really appreciate the feedback we're getting from Creighton fans. To answer your 32% on 3 question/comment... It's true we're not a great 3 pt shooting team, but we still rely on them for tons of our points. Whether we shoot a high percentage or not, you really have to guard UC as...

    Dear Creighton

    Great Question! If you find an answer, let us know lol In all seriousness, I think our size is overstated. DN is freakishly tall, but sometimes never takes his warmup off. Jackson is the LONG player and he comes off the bench. Our guards are built and tough, but not especially tall. Rubles...

    Dear Creighton

    Here is the disconnect though. Unless you guys move him to center, he'll spend virtually 0 time defending in the paint. That is a hard way to guard a ball handler. People want to call Rubles a forward because he gets rebounds and guards the 4, but on the offensive end of the floor, we're...

    Dear Creighton

    Completely agree with this post. Cronin said the key to the game will be not giving Doug free throws and layups. That's important, but I think the even bigger factor will be if their guards can handle the ball pressure well enough to run their normal offense. UC's "in your face" style of...

    Open practice before Friday's Game

    I went for a while on my lunch. Not a ton of people there, but pretty cool to watch. They ran normal practice stuff. Not really designed to put on a show, but it was a real practice. Mostly drills. They ran some modified form of 4 on 4 drill. They were also practicing zone D rotation/close...

    UC vs. Georgetown

    Our bigs are mediocre. This isn't news. It was that way in November and it'll be that way in the tournament. Everyone knew what to expect there. The struggles Cash and SK are having were not expected. I love them as a fan, but objectively, they were supposed to carry this team and we're...

    UC vs. Georgetown

    Hate to say it, but I agree with him that Cash struggled again today. He didn't do much of anything to get guys shots in the half court. He didn't attack the basket at all. He got abused on at least 2 putbacks under the hoop. He did knock down some 3's that he's been missing for months...

    Senior Day

    I expect the 4 seniors will start on Saturday. All of them will be missed, but especially Cash and Parker. Let's not forget that these 2 came here when we were still a pretty bad team. They became part of the solution with their toughness and ability to score in multiple ways. They each...

    Would you be satisfied?

    In a word, yes. At the beginning of the season, I might have held out for more. I might even want more next year or the year after. But knowing what we know right now about this year's team, I'll take it for sure.

    Tournament Chances Thread

    We still had Butch Jones who was the "rep the c" guy. There is a long answer to infrared, but the short version is it's that neon color on last year and this year's special jerseys.

    Tournament Chances Thread

    No doubt the play has been awful, but that's mostly a different discussion than our tournament chances. One thing is for sure, we can't lose out. That many losses in a row would undo all of the good on our resume. Win 2 of last 3 and we're in. Maybe barely in, and possibly even in Dayton...

    This Georgetown game will be one of the biggest swing games we have for seeding in both tournies.

    Our Offense

    One of the things you can't get away from is that our offense relies so much on 2nd chance points. When the offensive rebounds dried up, our PPG pays the price. Losing Jackson and Mbodj's foul trouble is part of it, but we need to recommit to being an elite offensive rebounding team IMO. If...

    Their resume as it stands today is still way up there. They are probably headed the wrong direction though. To answer your question... Top 10 RPI 18th in polls More top 100 wins than anyone in country Beat Michigan St.

    Bracketology

    Our general seeding has stabilized now so we can at least look at what could impact us. The top 5 teams are pretty solid. Teams 6-10 seem to be on their own tier as well barring a meltdown by Arizona/Gonzaga. That leaves a lot of teams in the midwest fighting for 2-3 seeds, 4-4 seeds as well...

    Remaining Schedule

    We have 4 losses already, so 3 more losses would mean 7 total. I would guess UL is a loss. I think we split UConn and split GTown/Pitt at home. If we take care of business in the rest, that leaves 7 total losses and around a 4/5 seed pending the BET. Personally, I think we win @ND. They're...

    UC vs. Syracuse

    Yep. Didn't mind the shot either. Sure, it would have looked better if they would have gotten some ball movement first, but ultimately what you were looking for on that possession is a clean look at 3 for Cash or SK. I thought it was a decent look regardless of how it came to be and he shot...

    Conference realignment stuff

    Which would be absolute best case scenerio for this university IMO. The 2005-2012 Big East was the absolute perfect level for our basketball and football teams to be playing at. Both programs benefitted greatly. If we could recapture mostly the same conference under the ACC banner, I would...
