Creighton dunked on us like 10 times.

5-0 is enough of a sample to say Hurley can’t figure out McDermott. Plus they have a ton of this team back next year…

Sanogo got his lunch ate

 

[prankster]

I hate the Barrels.

That is all.

 

[wheelerdog]

Well you all got your wish. We're now on PCs side of the bracket. And we could be staring at Marquette on Thursday.

 

[I Bleed Blue]

McDermott owns us. Sheesh

Sanogo was leaving Kalkbrenner wide open on the pick and roll all first half... Creighton just didn't look to him. they did in the second half

Not having Hawkins killed us. Need him healthy.

Nary an adjustment as Sanogo kept getting beat. Maybe stop the hedging so he doesn’t get beat to hoop. Maybe try Whaley on him. Play a damn zone, they were not hitting triples in the second half. Disappointing to say the least.

1st half killed us. Hurley's got to fix our lack of offensive firepower to open up games.

Whaley and Martin are slow to get started and AJ well he's just not offensively ready unless you put him at point guard.

A lot of that was on the coaching side. Kalkbrenner abused Sanogo every time they gave him position down low and UConn continued to cede position with Sanogo on defense with switches and hedges without adjusting at all. McDermott was basically taking advantage of Hurley's defensive rotations all second half and Hurley just kept feeding right into it.

Welp y'all wanted to play Providence, now we'll have the opportunity if the seeds hold out. However, Providence tougher then Uconn. Hate me all you want but I've seen enough.

What’s the record for dunks in a game?

Proud of how we fought, but playing a 6 dude rotation, Having sanogo struggle from the field, and Jackson shooting multiple threes, is a recipe for disaster.

Really wanted to see Hurley figure out Mcdermott. Too bad.

 

[superjohn]

Can't show up to a game like that on the road and expect a win. They rolled us first half and then it was the Kalkbrenner show in the second half and we never adjusted. McDermott is a great coach but he shouldn't be coaching circles around Hurley in these games.

Bad loss, good for Creighton getting into the dance.

 

[navery12]

That was a bold strategy to leave Kalkbrenner open on every pick and roll. Shocked it didn't work

 

[prankster]

One Mort thing.

I have heard it said that the most difficult thing is to beat another Big East team 3 times in a season.

Bring on the Creighton Barrels in the BET.

Well, if Sanogo drained 2 or 3 of those 10 missed bunnies, we're likely not having this conversation.

 

[Tyler2Rings]

Hoping Hawkins didn't get knocked too bad. It was good to see him on the bench toward the end- if he was OK to sit in a loud arena that's a good sign

 

[UncleSpliff]

Hurley watched as they dumped the ball into Kalkbrenner every single play in the 2nd half and he did nothing. No adjustments, no double, no zone… just like the seton hall game with Richmond.

The lack of adjustment for these glaringly obvious stuff is extremely concerning to me. It's my sole issue with Hurley and our prospects for future success. Any team with lessor talent but better coaching can own us.

A road loss to Creighton isn’t alarming, but the continued lack of adjustments is.

We saw all the flaws that will likely limit this team’s postseason success.
