KU vs Creighton Barrels
-
Ok so everything from here on out is beyond my expectations and I won’t be let down. Sweet 16 was always my level of expectation for this team.

Oh no…
Tweet deleted. What was the gist of it?

Geez! Providence is shooting one 3 per minute, average. Looks like the Hawks will have defend 3’s like they did in the 2nd half.
-
@BShark I saw that!

Providence 7-12 from 3 right now. We’re definitely going to have to do a much better job of guarding the arc…

@DCHawker they have a big? Been watching post game

Yes - about the same size as Dave. Plus a couple of good sized forwards…
-
@DCHawker that’ll help
-
Thx!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 - thanks for the Twitter link. I was…. odd.

Big D will go against Nate Watson, 6-10, 260 0-1 career 3-point shooter, but shoots 55% from 2

Dave should eat him up!

Remy played 12 more minutes than Harris.
Has to be the way the rest of the way

Huggy had some really good things to say about KU
-
Hard to judge Providence on this game. Historically bad shooting night for Richmond. 1-22 from 3 - not a typo. And, just 8-21 from the stripe.
-
Here are my hopes for this week:
- super healing powers for Dave’s foot and Mitch’s knee
- Ochai’s shooting mindset and touch to return
- Remy to continue on his trajectory
- CB to get more confident to shoot the 3
- Juan to be Obi-wan to Remy’s Jedi Master
- JW to rise to his ceiling
- JCL to continue being the best sharpshooter off the bench in history
- The bench to be the best scout team in the nation
-
Thank god we didn’t have to play UNC or Memphis. Seriously.
-
Apparently McDermott’s game plan was to leave Remy open… oops.

Stunning and brave.
-
We open up as 8 point favorites against Providence. Seems a little high. Hope they’re right!!!
-
I love Remy’s swagger on the court, this team needs it.
-
@stoptheflop And only one turnover out of the team total of a nice, for us, seven. His two 15’ foot jumpers were very timely. His flat shot trajectory reminds me of Earl the Pearl Monroe’s.
JCL, who matched up well with the bigger guards, displayed good defense (much improved) and was perfect with two pretty swishes one of which was a three.
-
I wasn’t impressed with Creighton when they played San Diego St. Creighton was behind most of the game. Boy, Creighton didn’t even look like the same team yesterday. Creighton must stop wearing our road blue. Everytime their 44 shot and made a 3 I cheered thinking it was Mitch. I got a little tired of their 44 yesterday. On to Providence, another school like St Peter’s with a small enrollment. Only some 4,200 undergrads and 700 or so graduate students. Shoot the entire student body could attend the game in United Center’s 23,500 seat arena and still leave plenty of room for KU fans.

Love your Churchill quote. He was known to be often in his cups and when the MP Bessie Braddock told him he was just a drunk he replied, “Yes, I am drunk and you Bessie are ugly and I will be sober in the morning and you will still be ugly.”
-
If we ever desperately need a bomb I feel we could reasonably rely on Och, Christian, R3MY, J3L, JWill or Daj. If we could only play six at a time!

Yes it does seem as such. They destroyed Richmond with Richmond’s help. One for twenty-two from three. Holy bejesus!
-
Och seems to be in a mini funk, compared to his own standards.
His shot selection yesterday was questionable, he could be pressing, tourney pressure.
If true, Self and coaching staff should keep him calm and poised.
-
@Zabudda yea, Richmond couldn’t buy a 3… imagine what we would do to a team who shot that way against us - instead of the more typical crazy nobody who has a career night and sinks 10 without hardly trying.

Yep and the career night thing like we saw against Creighton and others in our few losses makes me say bad words. I think it may be the NCAA dicking with us. This year the ghost of Phog Allen has been fickle. Maybe a burnt offering of some kind would appease him.
-
Right there with you and the bad words when that happens. Perhaps we can burn Providence with 3s as an offering? Wouldn’t that be something - 2 or 3 of our guys getting hot and just raining 3s all game long, and then Big D cleaning up underneath as their defense sags out to try and stop the rain. Not holding my breath, but sure would enjoy it.
-
Good writing and wit. And it would be nice to see.
