Creighton Demolishing Big 12 Nebraska

[tornado]

Just starting the 2nd half, Bluejays ahead by 27!!!
47-20....
Nine different Creighton players have scored in balanced fashion, eight of them have 4 points or more, while Creighton has only 2 players who have scored more than a deuce.
Ping, as expected, is scoreless but has 2 fouls.


Here's another interesting score...........
DePaul is struggling mightily against North Carolina A&T!!
NC A&T is ahead 68 - 53 in the 2nd half, but DePaul gave up 48 first half points at home to this low D-I team!
At the very time the DePaul board is raving over a fine article touting the talents of Mac Koshwal, claiming he's the "finest" player on DePaul:

And in the equivalent of the DePaul Pick-em, there are people predicting Koshwal will have his way with NC A&T and get 17 points, 12 rebounds, 12 assists!!!

So far...Koshwal started and has played most of the game..
...guess what.......
(according to yahoo) ...he is scoreless!!!!!
Am I the only one who thinks Koshwal is/was overrated?

Finally at about 7 minutes left in the game, Koshwal makes one of two FT and narrows DePaul to within 10,
this one point is the first point for Koswal in the game!

The DePaul hatred is really ridiculous around here sometimes ...

DePaul is making a HUGE run and is within 2, 92-89 NCAT 48.3 left

And you wanna know why they're losing ... look at this stat line for NC A&T:
BENCH FGM-A 3PM-A FTM-A OFF REB PF PTS
Steven Rush, G14-23 10-17 2-3 1 3 0 40

NC A&T 96
DePaul 93
Final

Bad loss for the Demons...Their best player, Draelon Burns made a critical turnover down 3 with 30 seconds left and the ball.

Dar Tucker misses a three at the buzzer to tie ...

No hatred towards DePaul, just the reality that the hype isn't matching the performance, and so I guess my post must seem harsh to those who claimed Mac Koshwal did everything but walk on water.
Sure DePaul is making a huge run, but they are still going to lose at home to a team that'll be a 300+RPI team...and they are giving up 96 points in the process.

Note this thread which is merely representative of so many that have lectured us on how tremendous Mac Koshwal is and how he will dominate the Big East and be in the NBA in no time...

"Mac Koshwal will make an instant impact in the Big East..."

Today......the big impact was a grand total of ONE POINT by Mac Koshwal.


By the way....Creighton beats Nebraska...74-62...Shang Ping 2 points
Evansville sneaks out of Muncie with a 51-50 win over Ball State

[BUBraves2006]

Nah, Koshwal has a ways to go ... but he's really talented. As is Dar Tucker...this will be a very good team in a year or two.

Nice to see Creighton is doing well...somebody has to step it up after some of the pathetic losses the Valley has this year (see: UNI @ ND St.; Missouri State @ Toledo)

Albert Einstein arrives at a party and introduces himself to the first person he sees and asks, "What is your IQ?" to which the woman answers, "241." "That is wonderful!" says Albert. "We will talk about the Grand Unification Theory and the Mysteries of the Universe. We will have much to discuss." Next Albert introduces himself to a man and asks, "What is your IQ?" to which the gentleman answers, "144." "That's great!," responds Albert. "We can discuss politics and current affairs. We will have much to discuss!" Albert goes to another person and asks, "What is your IQ?" to which the man answers, "43." Albert responds, "How 'bout them Blue Demons?"

The players that came from the Boys to Men program are not ready to play D-1 basketball as the coaching was not very good at all; they should have been called the Boys to Boys academy .

Final

OUCH!!! No hatred at all here for DePaul. This loss just hurts the Valley quite a bit since one of our teams played them. Hopefully this is a wakeup call for them and they have a decent year.

But kudos to NC A&T for carrying the mid-major torch well today! They did all of mid-majorville very proud today!

And congrats to Creighton for disposing of Nebraska. They obviously had a lot to prove after their embarassment against them last year!

Another mid-major caliber kid that aimed too high is Josh Tabb.
Not sure why he went to Tennessee, as he is bit by bit getting less and less
playing time and falling off the rotation and the charts.

Now after 5 games this season, he is 11th on the Volunteers in scoring at 2.8ppg,
and his playing time is now 10th on the team and he is obviously in over his head as he just can't keep up with the bigger and stronger and more athletically talented kids at the SEC level.
Tonight, against Texas, the halftime score is 55-43 and Tabb is 0-1 and zero points.
He shoulda gone mid-major....
