Effort

[BradleyJD]

6 minutes left, and BU will most likely lose...but these guys busted their butts tonight. McDermott is unconscious.

CU is shooting lights out but cannot shake us.

Couldn't agree more. I have noticed a couple of the biggest "fans" sitting on their hands no matter how BU was doing! If you aren't going to cheer this effort...what will you cheer for?

[Bravesfan]

If we play with this type of effort every night, we will win a few games against the bottom half of the Valley. Even Drake at their place is winnable.

Phantom calls at the end

A few, but I'm not sure they would have cost us the game. A great effort by our team tonight, which makes the SIU game an even bigger disappointment. Methinks this team has learned a few things between losing to a bad SIU team, and giving #24 Creighton all they could handle.

It was fun to watch Gregg McDermott say on his postgame TV interview (on the Creighton ESPN feed), "We didn't play good defense tonight"

I don't think they changed the outcome, just bad calls.

CU hit everything tonight, McDermott especially. However, BU never gave up and never quit pushing the action.

I do not believe in moral victories, but this was a good effort by the Braves tonight!

Yeah, I think he is tired of coming here. Last year he cried for having to play the game earlier after his team helped snap Bradley's 11 game losing streak! And today, rightfully so, he was not happy with his team's defense. I wouldn't either if I were him. But our defense, though it played with great effort, could not hold a candle to Doug McDermott and the rest of the Creighton team.

Yes, if they played with this effort the other night against SIU, we would have won the game. But maybe we wouldn't have played as well tonight. Who knows. Hopefully we progress and this was not a fluke effort tonight.

Drake lost at home to UNI tonight, so who knows. We can beat them at their place Tuesday night, especially since we are only one game behind them in the standings.

I agree 100%

At least they were there.

[Bravesfan]

At least they were there.

True. But I bet they thought they wouldn't have to stand up at all tonight against Creighton!

[Buesch N Chips]

Great effort, great crowd. If you are not encouraged by tonight's game, you clearly don't want us to be successful. It's about time I got to cheer!

[Chico]

Maybe not, but without them I'm sure many would find the parking at the Armory worse than at the new gym on campus.
