UConn Game Thread II

[cr8onbb]

CU's website is showing 301 tickets still available.

I only see resale tickets available on Ticketmaster now, and not that many compared to other games.

This should be a highly competitive game.

In the first game, the O rebounds were 21-6 in favor of U Conn and turnovers also favored U Conn 14-7.

It’s amazing that we only lost by 14 when we gave them 22 extra possessions.

It seems like we have gotten much better in both of these categories. If we can keep these stats close, I like our chances.

100%

- We had our worst rebounding game of the year versus UConn, giving them all of those extra shots
- We also had our 4th worst Turnover game (as a %) of the year

But on the plus side, we had the best defensive performance against them on their own court this year. If we hit the boards and hold onto the ball, this should be a heckuva ballgame

Strange - TM shows resale only available.

The athletic department sent out an email yesterday morning urging people to sell it out and saying that there were "less than 275 tickets remaining."

Based on ticketmaster, it looks like it is definitely sold out. Wonder if they will do additional standing room only tickets like they did earlier this year. Still think it's strange to not have made UConn the $1 beverage game, but I'm not in the promotions department.

It makes sense to make Georgetown the $1 beer night to get a decent crowd with them being a scrub team and the goal being to fill seats.

Would have been really fun to create an extra hostile environment if they would have done it for UConn tho.

You have to access directly through GoCreighton.com to see the non-resale tickets available. There's still some there.

This is crazy. It has been 10+ years since they last beat a ranked team in a true road game yet they've won 2 national championships in the same period. I know their time in the AAC has a lot to do with it but still.

Still 263 tickets apparently available for direct purchase from the Ath Dept. Sec 228 with the most, just over 50.

Make every possession count. Win 50-50 scrambles. Clean up the defensive boards. Hit your open shots (can't shoot 20 percent from three and win this one). I believe that Creighton's A game will lead to a win, no matter how UConn plays.

Great! Let’s make them 0-21 road games against top 25 competition after tomorrow’s game and 2-7 against us since they came back to the BE. We should make it as loud an environment at CHI as they did at their place this year. Let’s make the deciding game in the BE tournament.
