Just an observation...

Was out last night, but wanted to get home to see the second half. Caught the 9:15 update on WCBS and announcer said the game was a rout. Turned on the television with under sixteen minutes to got and really thought the rest of the game was ragged. Delighted with a huge road win, but aside from Isaiah playing great, that was about it. No points from Delgado, four from Sanogo and a jump shot from Desi. Surprised Willard didn't use Gordon more in this stretch as Carrington imploded, but I see in the box score Gordon was ice cold.

Great win and getting points from Sanogo is necessary, but the last 15 minutes seemed like a different game from what CBS described before that point.

I thought Willard's game plan of letting them beat us with jump shots was terrific. Watson is great at getting into the lane but clearly not a shooter

I saw from the tie at 6-6 and it was the most masterful effort and well-balanced scoring attack with great passing that ive seen this season. They came into a hostile gym and squarely punched Creighton in the jaw and they juse couldn't recover. Hard to top that first half performance. I turned it off with 9 minutes to go for health reasons (wink, nod), but I knew they would win. Play up to or close to that first half and the start of the second for the rest of the year, and that's some serious ball.

Watson is a decent shooter. 34.5% from the arc capable of hitting the mid range jumper. But with him you have to pick your poison and that means going under screens and trying to stop penetration.

Most blowouts are like that, similar to the home game vs. Creighton from their perspective, means nothing to me.

Best part was the start of the second half - punch to the jaw, punch to the gut, roll em over and stomp down. The next best part - **not** giving it away.

Yes. Agree 100%... When we went up 22, it looked like an old fashioned beat down. Steals, blocks, tipped passes, 3s, driving the lane for layups.

It was fun to watch.

Two major moments when we had to answer and we got the huge bucket. I would love a buck for every "oh no" our posters said when Isaiah launched that three...lol.

75, for just once, you would not get a veritable fistful of ones from us last night. Isaiah was hitting from jump street so it caused our "oh-noes!" Machine to stay off. Now Gordon's wild shots were starting to get us going a bit.
