Traudt has been hitting some Korver- esque shots the last few games (Kyle, not Kaleb). He is no longer a stand in the corner guy. Defensive has improved exponentially as well.

+1

Really great to see Isaac having the confidence to hunt his shots (and deliver)

I loved Mac's comment to Kalk during a timeout about being so aggressive on close out of Hugley- " He's not Seth Curry"
Although he did make two in first half.....

Did he really say Seth? Please tell me he really said Seth.

Yes he did!
It was after Kalk jumped out at him at the 3 pt line & Hugely blew by him for an easy 2.
Well, maybe “blew by him” is hyperbole. He “went around him” perhaps better describes what happened.

Congrats. I was afraid the jackass flashing a Sker FNBO card might win.

TV guys said “blew by him.”

Interesting stat noted after game - Jays have won 45 straight games when bench scores 17 points or more.

Also, Sean Miller was very complimentary of Mac in post game comments, pretty much saying Mac is the best offensive coach he has played against (although he did say Hurley was also in same level). Miller sure has calmed down since his Arizona days and no more tantrums on the sideline. I think this was a GREAT win, X is a very good team and will make a run in February and March and be in tournament now that their schedule will be favorable.

I love playing our rival X, always a great game and lots of respect on both sides and a sweet win.

We've also covered nine straight games. Not that I pay attention to any other team, any other sport, like I do Creighton, but I don't think I've seen that before. It's literally probability-defying. The whole idea in setting a line is to create a 50/50 proposition, and yet we've consistently beat it, since that Gtown debacle. When we lost @ Marquette by 8, we covered. Even when we beat the Johnnies by one at home, we covered.
