I feel like Cooley has something up his sleeve for road games at Creighton, similar to Butler. We have won there a few times in the last few years right?

I was thinking the same thing earlier. I'm not sure how this team pulls it off tonight. I'm hopeful but I know we have to be realistic. Too many slow starts combined with inconsistent performances worries me. We got lucky with Xavier and their injuries. We match up well with Butler but Creighton is a different monster even without Maurice Watson. It's not like this team comes back off of breaks and lights it up either. Anything can happen though.

So this is a 9pm EST start....saw at least 3 different start times for this game, very confusing.
Looks like it will be on the computer screen with the other BE games on the TV...

First time, long time. According to your prognostications we already aren't making the tourney next year so maybe we shouldn't watch? Thank you for your first post here at FriarTownHoops. However, I will side with yankee. I feel Creighton is a wall too tall. Nevertheless, viewing and cheering on our Friars will happen anyways. Is this the "original" WhiteFriar (I'd be shocked to learn that you've never posted here before)? Can you tell me where we met up prior to the Butler Game two weeks ago?

Three years ago, we got beat soundly as McDermott went off for 45 on senior night. Our game plan that night was to have Tyler Harris guard Doug, it and didn't go well. We of course came back with a different game plan one week later in the Big East Championship.
Two years ago, we won by like 6-8, but were in control the whole way. Dunn had a good game if I recall correctly and really took over down the stretch.
We won 50-48 last year in one of the ugliest games ever played. Dunn hit a buzzer beater that was really a brick, but somehow got softened between the rim and backboard and casually fell through.
Everyone has nailed it, we can't go through any prolonged stretches without scoring. Can't wait for 9:00!

For Watson to be suspended it must be pretty bad - he just had surgery! And he has been a prominent presence on the bench since his untimely injury....

Someone on the other board pulled up a rumor off the Creighton board that it has something to do with sexual assault/sleeping with a minor. Not surprised after reading the last statement.

Wasnt expecting much from watson True, but I'll take the possibility that it's a slight "distraction" for the team.
