So I see Creighton beat Wisconsin 79-67 and Georgetown lost by one to Maryland.
Interested to see us against Wisconsin, a lot of analysts calling them soft last night and saying how their bigs want to stand outside and shoot instead of bang down low...their size advantage may not be as big of an issue as previously thought. If we can get Parker back and push the pace for 40 minutes and make their bigs run I'll be interested to see the outcome, tnink it could be close than previously thought.
Love the optimism BTO. I don't have high expectations for this team, but I'm anxious to see how they can develop and progress throughout the year. Certainly a win over a Wisconsin would be a huge confidence booster for these young guys.
1st game is a tough one & probably forces us into the losers bracket. Wisconsin I just don't see us beating them. I know coaches, players, & fans don't like moral victories but this has to be what we're aiming for in this game.
Play our best game & if it's not good enough then so be it. Losing by 6-10 points to a team like Wisconsin wouldn't be a bad thing in my opinion. We'll see how things turn out after that depending on who we get in the rest of the tourney.
Let's hope we can make some shots.
We have some solid offensive players on this team. It's the defense that's lacking thus far. We must pick it up on defense or we're gonna have trouble beating a lot of SEC teams.
We really do have quite a few options on the offensive side of the ball. Literally 5-7 different players could lead us in scoring any given night but it doesn't matter if you're not going to play a lick of defense & foul like a bunch of maniacs.
