Creighton University
Here is some info on Creighton. Some may find it helpful in understanding what the Bearcats are up against.


http://www.creighton.edu/

Listen to Doug McDermont interview. "yeah, we'll face Duke in the second round". Sounds like he already has it figured out. We're good against the Jesuits too !!!

RE: Creighton University
who guards McDermont?

And did he really say that? That they will be playing Duke in the second round or was that quote of his taken out of context? I can't imagine Creighton taking a Big East team so lightly, even if it UC (I mean that only in that we have really sucked now for the past I don't know how many games). Creighton's SOS isn't anything to write home about.

No, he did not. He said what any coach says, that if they are fortunate enough to get through their first game as a 7 seed that they have a potential matchup with a top 8 or so team in the country in the next round, and in this case possibly one of the best teams in the nation in Duke.

thx for clearing that up...I didn't think he would be that stupid. Esp coming from the ranks of Mid-major.

I'd let Mick play it that way to the team though. You can never have too much motivation. This seems to be one of the games everyone is so divided on. Heard lots of people pick the Bearcats and lots that have Creighton as a sleeper. On Mike and Mike this morning, I think it was Seth Davis who said the Bearcats were a darkhorse because they play great defense and rebound. Usually we are being picked against by everyone, so who knows.

I really could see this game going any which way and nothing would surprise me. As I have said in the past, this team can lose to anybody, but it can also beat anybody. Still hard to imagine they could play two great games in three days to advance to the Sweet 16 though, but I'd at least like to get another shot at the Blue Devils.

This may sound nuts, but I honestly think that if we could get past Creighton, we will beat Duke. I think Creighton is a big if and a tough matchup for us, but [/align]if we could beat them and make it to the Duke matchup, our guys would be pumped and motivated and I've seen tough physical defenses give Duke fits.

As optimistic as I'd like to be that UC would beat Duke...
Mason Plumlee is UC's worst nightmare. He's a mobile big man that can score with ease at the basket. Couple that with Seth Curry on the outside and I think it would be brutal for the Cats.

Go Cats, beat the Jays!...

RE: Creighton University
If we can get by Creighton, Duke will definitely be a tough one. That being said, I'll go with how my buddy's wife put it when they were watching the ACC tourney who is used to watching Big East basketball. "Don't they play defense in this league? Shouldn't they be out on that guy guarding him?" Plus Duke in recent years seems to have its share of upsets, so anything can happen. Still not optimistic, but you never know. Not like we haven't played our share of elite teams this year and hung around at least for awhile.

No one in the ACC plays defense.

The lack of defense in that league is amazing.

If Lehigh can beat Duke in the tournament, there is no reason UC can't.

Anything can happen. I've been waiting all season for this UC team to wake up, and click on all cylinders. Not sure I saw it once all season. It wouldn't surprise me to see them suddenly play with reckless abandon, get hot, and surprise.

But then again, I've said that before and it's been the same old, same old.

Cash seems to have come back to life. If S K comes back to life and they both have it going at the same time, and the D is as it always is, then UC will be trouble.

I could see them losing to Creighton. I could see them upsetting Duke. But I honestly expect a first round loss, and nothing more than 1 or 2 wins. Even if we get hot, it won't continue for several weeks. Catching by surprise could work early on though.

Just looked up a few numbers on Creighton this morning - and, yikes, they're better than I originally thought.

They're #1 in the country in both overall FG% as well as 3PT%. Surely that's not all McDermott, right?

Agreed.

This team seems to me better-suited for the role of spoiler. Their forte is to get in there against better teams, make it ugly, keep it close down to the last 4-5 minutes, when anything can happen.

I could see us beating Creighton, and even Duke, but I see no possibility for a deep run. That would be as true in the NIT as in the NCAA.

They have 5 guys that shoot over 38% from 3.

He accounts for 74 of their 298 made threes for the season. One other guy has 74, but he only plays 16 minutes per game, and hasn't seen north of 12 minutes in their last 4.

He has taken almost 200 shots more than the next most frequent shooter on their team. He has 150 more made shots than the next closest guy on their team. He accounts for the majority of their offense.

How do you feel about the matchup? I think UC struggles a ton defensively against teams that can keep four guys out on the three point line and bury threes, particularly when one of those guys is a post guy. Face up 4s that shoot the three are one of the things that has made UC's defense look very average in the past. I don't know who is going to guard McDermott. My hope is that we can bother their guards enough with pressure to make it hard for them to run their offense. I keep having visions of Notre Dame in my head, but I doubt they have anyone as good as Grant with the ball. If Creighton can run their half court offense, I am worried we won't be able to guard McDermott and their other shooters.

RE: Creighton University
If the shots are falling, UC can beat anyone. If they're not, they'll lose to about anyone.

I expect the shots to fall this week. Cash is heating up, and SK's due to explode. Work in a few plays that get the ball into the lane (especially to Parker, who seems to be the only guy to be able to score around the rim), and I think they beat Creighton. Creighton hasn't seen anything like UC's D. I doubt they go 30+ percent from 3 against this D.

Same could be said for Duke, but they're much more talented and Plumlee poses a major problem for UC.

I expect a 1-1 weekend...

I guess. But Wisconsin is a physical, very tough defense and look what Creighton did to them offensively.

Wisky wasn't playing physical, tough defense the first few weeks of the season. Now, yes. Then, no...
