Creighton (12/21/14)

CMJ · December 18, 2014

Biggest basketball name brand we've had come to the Super Pit in in a couple of years anyway.

Since LSU, 3 years ago...?

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.

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.

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.

Why do basketball odds always post so late? I'm curious what the spread on this one is.

chrisfisher · December 18, 2014

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.

UNT90 · December 18, 2014

I want to know how many people UNDER 5 feet tall attend this game.

Gotta see if those free tickets created any return customers, don't cha know...

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)

Green P1 · December 19, 2014

Dunbar's possibly extended role > whatever Benny's rolling out these days at home in the Pit.

Mean Green Duh

GMG24 · December 19, 2014

I know a bunch of The Colony families are going to go to watch Chatman and Jordan Williams

risinggreen · December 19, 2014

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.

It's moot all moot!

It's early in the season. We don't know what we have yet. There's a lot of promise. That's what I meant, obviously. But you'll see what you want to see to fit your narrative.
