Refs have been consistent on calling the charge foul.
SOM is the latest to get called for the offensive foul.

Call a timeout for the final shot in the half. The call? Gates for a three. Can somebody explain the logic? And also, there was time on the clock for another pass. Gates should be out of the game if he thinks he is a three point shooter.

Creighton flops at any little contact. The refs are calling the charge. Xavier needs to start doing the same.

Defense good but still a struggle on offense. Need to finish around rim. Missed some easy shots there. Creighton has responded well without Watson so far .

He thinks he is - coming into this game 44 of his 53 shots from the field has been from 3 - 83%.
That's Redford-like.

Needs not meds. And X likes to pigeonhole players like Redford. Chris says KG is their best shooter. But some like he and Brad just seem to get nervous of press to much in games.

Can't turnover the ball 12 times and expect to win.
Don't know if Watson will be back or not.
If Patton picks up a couple of quick fouls in the 2H will help.
RaShid had a decent 1H with Patton the bench - 7 boards and 6 points.
Concerned about CU getting hot from 3 in 2H. They were only 1-9 from 3 in 1H.
Their loss to Nova was their worst 3 point shooting game - 6 for 24.

I might need some "meds" after watching this game. :)

Thank the Lord for Tre today. This team could not throw it into the ocean from the pier.... Maybe Mack will demote KG to the 2nd best shooter on the team after today.
