Game Thread: Pirates vs. Creighton

[hbkmyr]

Wowser. This defense is atrocious. Year after year it seems like the strategy is let’s try to throw them off by leaving them wide open on 3s.

 

[Hall Is Life]

Again, EHE. What is he doing??

So much for those first 4 minutes…

 

[LBP43]

Dawes has trouble with Armstrong and Wuzu just lost -- shame

 

[catholicman]

We did not learn a thing from our last game with Creighton. The Kalk and roll...over and over...puke

 

[The Crows Nest]

They are just an awful matchup for us. We cant seem to guard a ball screen. They find the open man every posession amd our guys cant get clean shots

Maybe. But we are playing a lazy, uninspired game. That’s disappointing

 

[sussexcopirate]

When this team doesn't show up they really don't show up. Kadary looks like he'd rather be anywhere else tonight.

 

[Robot_Man]

Playing soft and scared, real disappointing to see. EHE is a disaster on both sides of the ball, and DAW is somehow worse.

 

[NYShoreGuy]

If we don't make the tournament, it will be because of the home losses to Rutgers, Creighton, and Providence. We had Creighton beat and gagged it. We had Providence beat and gave it to them down the stretch. Rutgers was just a bad loss. Every team (except the very best) lays an egg. That was ours.

Well the ooc was also a whiff...best win was mizzou

 

[JTSHU]

CU knows how to run a clean offense. We do not

 

[schultz1825]

And that's that for me. God bless you guys willing to stay up and watch this garbage. I have work in the morning and unfortunately, I'll actually be expected to put an effort in.

Last time these teams played, Creighton was uncomfortable. This time they are comfortable. Richmond and Dawes need to play better.

 

[IronKaz1]

cuz the farmboys live for 3's on offense they dont play ONE ON ONE ball

 

[IronKaz1]

Well I dont think their showing on Sunday vs SJU helped matters, they got spanked and were pissed

 

[shu09]

Shame on me for buying into the hype and picking a win tonight, but the one thing I was hoping not to see was an embarrassment. Make no mistake, this will hurt our tournament prospects. You have to show you can be somewhat competitive.

All of them, but especially Richmond and Bediako.

 

[IronKaz1]

eh relax there # 12 and at home, things happen, they never lose at home , everyone gets punched in the mouth now and again

what was that quote of his after xavier?

 

[DrummerJerry]

What was it Sha said after the Villanova game about how his team would never play like that again!

 

[catholicman]

No ball movement by Pirates tonight. Hero ball all the way

 

[Robot_Man]

eh relax there # 12 and at home, things happen, they never lose at home , everyone gets punched in the mouth now and again

If Butler can beat them in Omaha, our team should have at least been competitive.

 

[Hall-O-Daze]

LOL Dre trying to get out of this game as fast as possible. Can’t say I blame him.

 

[IronKaz1]

Listen I said this week is gonna be rough, I said 0-2 and if we won a game AWESOME, but its fine, we gotta hold serve at home get 20 W's and be fine..... relax people, getting our a$$ kicked will piss Shaheen off so much he will make sure we step it up cuz thats how he is

 

[catholicman]

What was it Sha said after the Villanova game about how his team would never play like that again!

I was thinking the same. Coach did not have them ready

 

[shu09]

Sanders wide right from 13 feet and Sha with the two hands on his head. Wheeeeee.

 

[IronKaz1]

No the farmboys just dont miss from 3 its why they are #12 , Sunday they missed and lost but thats not often

 

[SHUSA]

What was it Sha said after the Villanova game about how his team would never play like that again!

i think it was kadary that said it. and here he is dogging it again

 

[Hall-O-Daze]

Listen I said this week is gonna be rough, I said 0-2 and if we won a game AWESOME, but its fine, we gotta hold serve at home get 20 W's and be fine..... relax people, getting our a$$ kicked will piss Shaheen off so much he will make sure we step it up cuz thats how he is

The problem with that is we needed to have a good showings this week, win or lose, to protect our NET as much as possible. After tonight, we can throw that out the window.

 

[HallX2]

I was thinking the same. Coach did not have them ready

If you know Sha he did all that could be done. Sometimes they just don’t recover from the punch in the nose.

Good coaches take the fall by saying I should have had them better prepped. I have no doubt Sha did all that could be done.

Unfortunate timing to get rolled.

 

[IronKaz1]

that NET is all bs anyways, SJU who we spanked twice is higher than us, I dont go by that as much

 

[DrummerJerry]

Listen I said this week is gonna be rough, I said 0-2 and if we won a game AWESOME, but its fine, we gotta hold serve at home get 20 W's and be fine..... relax people, getting our a$$ kicked will piss Shaheen off so much he will make sure we step it up cuz thats how he is

So the plan is get our butts kicked, have Sha scream at them, win the next to two, then get our butts kicked again and start the cycle over.

 

[Hall Is Life]

Sanders wide right from 13 feet and Sha with the two hands on his head. Wheeeeee.

One of the worst shots you’ll ever see. Then Alexander blows right past him for a layup. Sanders unfortunately is a fish out of water.

 

[ShoreGold]

Sad effort!!

 

[IronKaz1]

most teams playing CU and UCONN on the road in the same week would

 

[Piratz]

Just a disaster.
Kalk was 7/7, Creighton 10/25 from 3. Terrible.

This likely is the teams 4th 20+ point loss on the road in the BE. The other 5 are wins.

 

[JCB11]

I just don’t understand the lack of preparation and fight.

 

[the1ndonly]

The weak side offball screen is an automatic open corner three for CU.

 

[shu09]

Only Dawes or Wusu can turn a fast break our way immediately into a foul and two points their way.

 

[IronKaz1]

so we finish in 4th place, would you rather 9th like they predicted us? Relax my fellow Pirates

 

[Piratz]

Yeah I mean there’s not much more to see here. 🤮

 

[shu09]

Donny calling out the effort. He's not wrong.
