Creighton Game thread 01/10/2018

[Anti-Homer]

Goodin played a great half and earned that shot, but SOM had a guard checking him in the post. Can't complain about an 8 point lead with Tre only scoring one bucket. Unless Creighton makes 8 treys in the 2nd, X will win by double digits.

Up 8 - 43 to 35.

X's bigs - SOM and KK - combined for 16 points on 6-7 shooting.
JP had a solid half - 9 points, 3 boards and 1 block.

If Tre gets untracked in the 2H, should bode well for X.

Thomas and Foster are a potent 1-2 punch - have 20 points combined.

Thomas is shutting down Tre.
Would like to see Kaiser step up and have a strong half.
He played great in the last game against CU - 16 points and 9 boards.
He was pretty invisible in the 1H - 1 bucket and 1 board

[muskieman]

Guys remember CU averages 90 plus per game at home and have put up plus 50 in a half on X in the past. Thomas is perfect from 3 with or without a defender

[mumuskie87]

3 fouls on Naji
Need a strong 2H from KG

[Anti-Homer]

X's transition defense continues to be just horrible. All year. It ain't a secret.

[Anti-Homer]

Scruggs has been playing well the last 5 games or so but has been a huge net negative today.

[mumuskie87]

4th on Naji.

Switches are killing X - too many times bigs are left to guard Foster and Thomas.

8-0 run by CU to take the lead.

[mumuskie87]

Foster and Thomas have 12 pts so far in this half.

[Anti-Homer]

X has a huge advantage in the post, and they are turning it into a 3 point contest. CM needs to use one of his 5 timeouts.
