Villanova vs Creighton

[Cuse315Pat]

Someone break Wragge's leg.

damn that's kinda overdoing it lol just dislocate his shooting shoulder

Villanova is competition for us for a number 1 seed in the east. If they get blown out for the 2nd time, all the better for us.

 

[PeteCalvin]

Only down 13. It's a game.

 

[BuffOrange]

He is good but I think Nova puts a beatdown on them. And to think that this is the game of the year in the big east. What a difference a year makes.

That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the court: "Oh this is their Wachovia game now?".

In before Gus goes nuts when Nova makes their inevitable run to get within 8.

Hopefully Baylor bounces back with a win over Kansas to put them outta the race for a #1 seed.

Nova has to be eccastic right now.

Creighton shot 60% from the field and made 14 3's; Nova is shooting 40% from the field and made 6 3's. Only down 13 at half.

Wragge's going to get a look as a stretch 4 in the league. I realize he and McDermott have in the gym range but it looks like Nova is getting sucked into shooting from beyond the NBA three line as well.

This is a total demolition of Nova. They are a strange team in that if Pinkston doesn't give them something inside, they can be exposed. I could see them winning a couple games in the tourney but their fate is very much dependent on matchups. Any team with inside muscle and they could be a very early flameout.

Creighton is solid but I always expect more of them in the tourney than they wind up delivering.

6'7 225 isn't exactly what you look for as a stretch 4 in the NBA. But 49% from 3 is no joke.

Huh, I'm tuning in late. I think Nova wins this one - those shooting numbers for Creighton are insane.

14-22 from three? 5-10 from two. They suck inside the three point line.

 

[Orangemen]

Let's go creighton. Were gonna take on a couple of losses this year, any more space we can get between ourselves and Nova is a good thing.

 

[ImperialOrange]

So lets hope Creighton isn't in our bracket

 

[Orangemen]

This is like our game at DePaul from way back and our home game against the Hall from few years ago. Just burn the tape and forget it ever happened.

While this exposes Nova, did anyone believe Nova was the #4 team in the country? Many people figured Nova would come back against a hot shooting team like SU did. This should make people realize that SU's turnaround against Nova was special.

I think If Creighton took a shot from the locker room, it would go in. One of the most impressive offensive performances I've ever seen.

Ok maybe they are not #4 in the country but getting beat at home 84-50...wow.

 

[orange79]

20-32 from 3. Wow

 

[jordoo]

Man I figured Nova was going to crack Creighton, shows what I know.

 

[ROCuse]

Take note, Mr. Pomeroy.

 

[obliterata]

I guess Providence is pretty good...

Brilliant post, Ghost! Brilliant!!!!

 

[Scotch]

That Hall game was crazy. I think I repressed it. The DePaul game was against the 2006 squad which was pretty mediocre outside of the GMac run. Hazell and the Hall destroyed a pretty good Cuse game at the Dome that day. Strangest result in the past 5 years.

Oh, and I want no part of Creighton...

 

[im4cuse]

21 threes. And counting with 6:30 to play. Up 40. Offense is amazing. Everyone on perimeter with cutter Great passing team.

 

[victor]

Providence beat them 81- 68 and they only made four threes. What to hell kind of defense did Providence play against them?

 

[Orange87]

Creighton should enjoy this because they'll never see it again. They could've beaten any team in the country tonight.

There's nothing 'Nova could've done. A team shoots like this you can't stop them.

 

[Cheriehoop]

Has to be so painful being a Nova fan in that arena at home while getting annihilated. Uggh - talk about a buzz kill.
