What's an abberition? Is that like an apparition? Does your ghost haunt the Super Pit?

It was a big win (every win is big to a team). Creighton is a far superior team. We beat a far more talented team today. Just because there were less fans and it was not a big 12 opponent does not mea

Who cares. At this moment they are a team. They are a family. They are all invested in this team and in eachother. They travel together and put in the time together. I can understand constructive crit

I'd be really surprised if we stay within 10 points of them

Their leading 3-point shooter almost has as many made 3-point shots as North Texas does as a team.

Sadly I'm not sure if the casual fan is too aware of Creighton but maybe I'm wrong. Still expect low attendance with Cowboys game the same day.

The casual fan might recall seeing their name on brakets there filled out the last couple of years.

I do not think the cowboys game will be the cause of low attendance.

To put it bluntly, we're screwed for this game. Expect a 15 to 25 point loss at home. This will not be good for the already low attendance.

In all seriousness, Creighton beat then #18 ranked Oklahoma at the Lincoln Center in Omaha, NE. on 11/19.

They were subsequently ranked #23 until a loss in a tournament to Ole MIss dropped them out of the top 25. They have subsequently had a headscratching road loss to Tulsa, a road victory over Nebraska, a tournament victory over MTSU, a 2OT win at home over South Dakota, and an OT loss at home to St.Marys.

I won't be attending this game.

EDIT: Trey Norris had 5 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 0 turnovers in 41 minutes in the South Dakota game, for those who even care.

Well for me personally at least. I haven't been to a game in a while and was planning on this one because it's Creighton but not going to miss the Cowboys game for an a-- whooping. Plus students are away on holidays. What would the other reasons people aren't coming be? ;)

Just one word:

Benford'd (which my phone now recognizes as correct)

I don't see the Cowboys as an excuse for area basketball fans since kickoff isn't until 3:25, and traffic HOPEFULLY won't be a HUGE issue on Sunday except around the malls. Now if Benford is the excuse I understand, but I think we're going to go ahead and try and catch both. Pretty good basketball teams are going to be few and far between in The Pit this year.

Thanks Ryan, Bringing about 25 or so kids and family members from my MS in TC. I heard that there may be a few hundred TC people coming to watch.

      I agree. Injuries are bound to happen. They almost did tonight. They did last season. Utah State played without a starter tonight and last night due to food poisoning. You never know. We need more than 8 guys prepared to play effectively.

      Utah State (11/29/24)

      Giving a few guys some rest and clearing the bench are two different things. We were up 17 against UNI with a couple minutes left in the first half and again early in the second half. Those are prime opportunities to sub in your 9th and 10th guys and give a couple of your main rotation guys a few minutes of rest. We actually had a double digit lead most of the second half against UNI. It was never really threatened. Edit to add it's kind of funny to suggest we were never in a position to clear the bench against UNI yet Utah State played 11 guys against us and 10 against St Bonaventure. Some get on for less than 10 minutes but I promise you a starter gets needed rest for those few minutes they get to sit. Maybe we should do as the top 30 team does?

      Utah State (11/29/24)

      the UNI game was a 9 point game with 3:30 to play. 57-48. we shut them out from there to push it to 20, but at no point short of the last minute or so was it even possible to clear the bench. everybody needs stop over-analyzing tonight's loss. it was a toss up...they made a few more plays than we did. play the game ten times and it's 5/5 with a top 30 team that might sneak into the top 25 by Christmas.

      Hard to blame the refs when we forced 16 turnovers and took 15 more shots. Just couldn't hit our shots. Sometimes you're cold. I'm going to agree with @UNTLiferwho said we should have played bench guys against UNI considering it was a blowout. Have to give your starters rest when you can, especially on the first of a back-to-back.

      oh no...a downvote. articulate a half-decent opinion or go the eff away. I swear actually having a winning program has made this board worse.
