Leaving our hotel for the 3 block walk to the Gardens in a couple minutes. PUMPED. The Johnnies will be a tough nut to crack with their imposing starting five. But, let Ponds get his average yet don't let anyone else go off and we should be able to come out on top.
Lots of BE fans in our hotel and I was chatting with two really cool Creighton dudes at the breakfast bar. They were effusive in their respect for Mack & X and rooting for us in the big dance. I mentioned we X fans feel the same about their program. Then one asked me: "is Cronin really that big of an ass?" I laughed and said: "all that -and then some". So Cronin's mental issues are now known nationwide!!! Love it.
Now let's kick some ass at noon

Let's go guys.
Caught a few minutes of Skip Bayless and Shannon "Horseface" Sharpe prior to this game.
That would be extremely painful to have to watch that show on a regular basis.

X in the whites as begats the higher seed.

Need to take care of the ball

Good post lucid. Creighton is a solid program. McDermott has done a great job there and significantly said "no" to Ohio St before they went to their back up plan in Holtman.

Can hear the "Let's go X" chant on TV.

So far the JP show which I like. Get a lead but letting them come back. Separate please.
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.
