Creighton at BU Saturday 1/10/09

[Da Coach]

Bradley contained Witter quite well in the game at Carver.
He had a total of ZERO points against Bradley in the game Feb. 16, 2008 that Bradley demolished Creighton 87-59.

It baffled me why after he had already scored 20 or so points, BU refused to get a hand up when they screened for him. Go back to the tape and look at how many times Sam Singh's man screened Ruffin, and Sam sat there, hands at his sides, and stared at Witter as he raised up for 3 after 3 after 3. Ruffin had a hand in it too, he sure didn't make it too hard for Witter to get the ball or to go where he wanted to go.

BU has been exposed if you can be during a winning streak. ZONE. Altman scares me. If anyone can take advantage of a teams weakness it would be him.

ONE thing that CAN'T take advantage of or wipe out is the 6th...I mean 11th man. US.

As Connor said.....we need to bring it even more then we did vs ISWho.....

WEAR RED.....BE LOUD.

Just for fun, here is a thread from the Creighton fan board with their fans' predictions for the game. It looks like they are a little more pessimistic than the SIU and ISU fans who 's fans mostly thought they would beat Bradley.

That is an understatement. Most people on those boards said things such as they would "cry" or "vomit" if they lost to such a "mediocre" or "below average" team.

I hope we can take care of business the rest of the valley season and win the games we are supposed/capable to win.

This CU game being one.

Maniscalco must have pounded them a couple of times. I hope their predictions are on and he hits em for 4-6 threes tomorrow.

Creighton is a 1.5-point favorite coming to our house! That's bulletin board material if you ask me.

[shaunguth]

The best available two seats together as of right now are in the upper bowl corner, row 17.

It will be another great crowd at Carver tomorrow night!

1.5 point favorite? That's an insult after the big win against undefeated ISU and Creighton's recent struggles. Here's to a 30 point blowout win to show up those Vegas bookies lol.

The money seems to be going to Creighton as they are now a 2-point favorite at the majority of the books.

I'd love to bet on this game but where's the best place to go online and place a bet?

Almost all the online books now have Creighton as a 1.5-point favorite. Just pick one. I've heard pinnaclesports.com is a good one.

My apologies Vegas bookies, y'all must know what your talking about.
