Louisville Game Thread

I hope Mac learned a lesson on time out calling today. Loved the timeout when Louisville made a mini run and momentum had shifted. A week ago it would've needed to be a 12-0 run for him to call one. Maybe he reads the board??

Great point although, the way we inbound the ball under pressure, it’s always nice to have a couple TOs in our pocket down the stretch. Our timeout bank account lets us save possessions sometimes.

Greg McDermott>>>>>>>>>>>>Pat "clueless" Kelsey. Louisville might have had a better chance if he had gotten his 2nd T and got kicked out. Maybe one of his assistants would have actually made an adjustment. You're down 14, under 10 minutes and you're walking the ball up the court and not pressuring on D??????? Normally announcers would point that out, but Jim "giant ego" Jackson was too busy staring at his own reflection in the TV monitor to actually watch the game. I think the producer got in his headset with 2 minutes left and told him he had to actually say something good about Creighton before the game was over. National coach of the Year Pat Kelsey?????? Give me a break. A high school coach in Omaha could win 27 games in a putrid ACC with his $4 million NIL budget.

Upon further reflection, except for UL having a home court advantage, they were a good matchup for us. Good matchup generally consists of the other team having traditional 5s who can’t shoot well. Jays kryptonite is a bunch of gnats and a 6’9 shooter in the post.

Along those lines, Broome shoots some 3s but that’s not his bread and butter. Although more athletic than CU (most are), an Auburn matchup isn’t too bad. You have to beat good teams eventually.

Creighton men's basketball opens up the NCAA Tournament with a win over Louisville on Thursday behind a career day for Jamiya Neal.

Matt DeMarinis recaps and has the postgame from Lexington.

Does anyone know if there is a (legal) platform to rewatch the full game?

Here's my breakdown of the game for Hurrdat Sports. Matt and I will record the Bluejay Beat tonight after the games if anybody here has questions for us.

Couldn’t agree more…..

It was a nice three sentences about the victorious team.
