Well, I finally got a crowbar to my wallet and paid the $5 a month for Patreon. Definitely worth it for my Bluejay obsession.

While I’m not defending the emotional swings of everyone here, I do think it’s unfair to know the outcome of a game, rewatch while taking your notes, then come on a message board and say you “get emotional swings of fans” but then sort of scoff at them. Vastly different scenarios occurring.

Xavier was going to make a push after they got down 20, that almost always happens. Like someone else mentioned, if we have a couple of those open shots in that stretch it wouldn’t have felt uncomfortable, but they managed to get locked back in and finish the game out on the road. Slightly different situation since it was an injury that seemed to turn the tides, but Minnesota was up 20 @Iowa in the 2nd half yesterday and managed to give the lead and the game to Iowa pretty quickly.
If you’re going to be upset at a moment in a game I get it, but these games play out over several stretches. Falling behind by 9 out of the gate isn’t ideal, but that’s something a team like Creighton is going to be able to overcome most nights.

Counter to this, don't be so overly reactionary (not you; whoever). I am so happy coaches don't listen to fans. Mason Miller exceeds most expectations during the first half of the season, has a rough few games, and people are burying him. Ashworth was "garbage" and not Big East material and lost and all these other things based on a ridiculously low sample size after transferring to a new school and system. I mean, do people really think he forgot how to shoot and play basketball?. Kalkbrenner was soft and disinterested.
I might be painting too broad a picture here, since it's usually the same emotionally stunted posters with this type of reflexive feedback. If you're offended by this characterization, it's probably you.

This one caught my eye. I was watching the same game and didn’t notice that Trey and Baylor could barely get off the ground.
