Time to win

 

[The_Hall]

slow start but defense just started to pick up

 

[The_Hall]

time to put simpkins in

 

[NYC Pirate]

Shots not falling early on.

 

[JD Walker]

4-4 with 14:34 left. Neither team can buy a bucket so far.

 

[IronKaz1]

2 of like a million, were lucky they are 2 of 100 vs our 1 million

 

[IronKaz1]

we have taken double the shots. what do we do? draw contact?

 

[JD Walker]

Under 12 timeout 7-5 SHU. Creighton 1-11 from the field so far. Pirates 3-13

 

[Bluebirds_]

Offense is atrocious. Should be building a lead here.

 

[NYC Pirate]

Hall could be up by 10. This Creighton team does not have the on court maturity of past teams.

 

[HallGuy2323]

Offense getting worse every game. Time for Williams to hit the bench. He's offering nothing

 

[The_Hall]

more fouls than made baskets. this is setting up for a loss

 

[IronKaz1]

and thats the ball game

 

[The_Hall]

what happened to staton mccray?

 

[IronKaz1]

beat Gtown

 

[hbkmyr]

the half court offense had become as bad as last year.

 

[JD Walker]

Swartz has been on fire the past two games with 5 mage 3fg in both games. He's picking up right where he left off 15-9 Creighton. Blue Jays on an 8-0 run.

 

[IronKaz1]

it was only a matter of time they started to make 3's

 

[hallstorm]

Need to stop playing Creighton’s way. Back door alley-oop or a strong throw down and clear space.

Have to force the issue on offense and be physical.

 

[PMB Pirate]

No Budd = limited offense. - back in, needs to be careful here.

 

[hallstorm]

the half court offense had become as bad as last year.

I don’t think so. Their looks have been pretty good.

 

[radecicco]

CU starting to carve us up.

 

[IronKaz1]

need just ONE three to fall it helps mentally so much

 

[hbkmyr]

I don’t think so. Their looks have been pretty good.

I don’t think so. Their looks have been pretty good.

I haven’t seen more than a few.

 

[JD Walker]

3 minutes left Creighton up 20-15.

 

[The_Hall]

remember when reports after scrimmages was that our offense was good? lol gotta love the preseason insider delusion.

 

[PMB Pirate]

17 % from 3 and 27 % from 2

I think that’s more on you for believing them

when has Sha EVER had good offenses?

 

[IronKaz1]

this ones done, practice for the next

 

[Piratz]

Atrocious offense again. Tough to watch. Comes with the territory.

 

[JD Walker]

need just ONE three to fall it helps mentally so much

AJSM got that, then the Pirates promptly gave up two more 3s to end the half on a 7-0 run.
Halftime
Creighton 27
SHU 18

 

[JTSHU]

The D is great but u cant be this bad on offense

 

[IronKaz1]

yeah cuz we leave them open like its shooting practice

 

[IronKaz1]

D is great when it wants to be , 1 3 and cant draw contact inside unlike them... The Irish coach owns Sha

 

[radecicco]

Defense is fine. Can’t score. And CU hit two 3s on crazy rebounds off of prayer 3s in last 1:30.

 

[IronKaz1]

sucks how at home were not doing it

 

[halltheway]

We need Budd to play the entire second half. Took him out with 2 fouls.
Good move by Sha to bring him back to stop the run.
Without him, Creighton goes on another run.

 

[shu09]

I think that’s more on you for believing them

when has Sha EVER had good offenses?

Scrappy defense and atrocious offense is his calling card. Consistently gets schooled by the good coaches.

 

[IronKaz1]

what do you think guys? were 12-3 soon?

 

[hallstorm]

Budd has to make that pull up. Without it, Creighton’s big men don’t come out to honor his shot — they stay at home on their guy.

And he won’t find any open guys without making that pull up.

The simple idea of making shots. That’s really it. McDermott always has his players stay at home and never double teams or give a lot of help defense when a team like The Hall can’t hit shots.
