ISU blowing out Creighton

[DUBrave5]

For those that stayed, it got very hostile in the arena. Wichita fans didn't leave and the Creighton students took out their frustrations on the Wichita fans which resulted in many ejections for Creighton fans and from what I saw one Wichita fan. One person asked this question as a joke and I thought it was funny so I'll repeat it here (if it breaks any rules feel free to delete it) "What total was higher, the total number of Creighton points, or the total number of Creighton fans ejected?" I was actually afraid to be sitting in the middle of the fire that was going on between the two sets of fans. That will make for two interesting games next year with Wichita St. and Creighton.

I agree. And I think ISU will avenge last year's choke-job and blow out UNI in the Championship game to get the auto bid. It would take a lot of luck for tomorrow's loser to get a bid.

Agreed! A 24-point win today doesn't mean anything if you don't win tomorrow.

Go UNI!

With a 23-point lead, he kept them in until under 2:00 to play.

Well, to be fair, look what happened to Creighton's lead yesterday. There's a balance... you don't want to start to coast too soon, but on the other hand you don't want to look like you are running up the score.

Many have been saying the Valley is a one-bid league this year. That seems to be holding true. Hopefully, the two teams that make the NIT will be top four seeds and get home games. Otherwise, it could be a very embarassing postseason for the Valley.

I would say that it has to be pretty close! 20-25 got the boot on Friday if they came close to that yesterday....wow! If I am the Valley or arena personnel, I might want to think about school officials sitting with the students next year! That has to be embarrassing for the school to have that many kids thrown out!

And I thought CU was supposed to be a classy institution. I guess I was wrong.

I think this is an example of the copycat phenomenon regarding the Cameron Crazies at Duke.

At Creighton, like at many schools, there is a relatively small segment of the student fan group that thinks it is a requirement that the students act like clowns. They paint their faces alike in school colors, they wear school-colored overalls, and they have pregame meetings to brief them on little-known facts about the opponents players, and what kinds of vulgar chants they will perform in unison.

Creighton has such a small group of such fans, and they feel it is their birthright to win every game, and to act like obnoxious clowns.

Most of the Creighton fans are great, supportive people, and as nice as can be. But it's always a small group that stands out.
