They were winded 10 minutes ago. Creighton taking over

 

[RUChoppin]

Game just went on too long for a team with no depth. Great effort, Ducks

Creighton lucky yet again. Damn BE.

Creighton lucky yet again. Damn BE.

I've missed free throw was the difference

I've missed free throw was the difference

That, and the one blatant non-call when the guy had his hand/arm on Cuisnard's throat. No idea how that was missed, but I believe it would have been the 7th foul and triggered the 1 and 1.

x100000 I would take him in a nanosecond over cliff.

Yup. He’s way stronger than Cliff. He doesn’t get pushed around.

We will miss Cliff more than people imagine.

 

[RUinOhio]

Did anyone else catch the guy in the stands in NC with a block R shirt in the crowd?

 

[Plum Street]

I can’t stand that all these games are packed into primetime . Give us another game or 2 late afternoon

I do not disagree with this. He makes a huge difference when you have players on the team who can score.

He is a shot blocker that erases mistakes.
He defends the high screen very well
He is a freak athlete that thrives with players who have vision

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

It isn't binary.
I realize I am biased at the way I look at things.

It seems like there are teams that are offensive teams and teams that are defensive teams.

Can teams like Tennessee win because their offense (with the new Dalton guy) is good enough

So, are you saying Pike could hide him on O because he stinks there if the other players could play 4 on 5 ?

Sorry, it’s a Cliff problem not an ‘everyone else’ problem.

Also, he’s plenty strong enough. Rebounding requires heart and court awareness. He has no awareness of where he is. It’s why he often throws the ball at the hoop from the other side of the backboard. He gets lost, same as GG (also not a strength issue).

No, he’s saying he possesses some offensive skills but they require other players with complementary skills.

There are multiple ways to win games. Cliff wants to move on so why are some of you guys just stuck on it? We just need to change it up to fit the personnel we have coming in. It’s not like we had some great year this season. Time to move on.

 

[BillyC80]

Still runs like a penguin

Looks like he’s doing Babe Ruth’s home run trot.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

My understanding is that CBS sets the game times (into the pre-determined slots). They wanted those two games in the exclusive windows, regardless of where in the country they are played. One of the benefits of the ridiculous $$$ they pay.

Yeah I should know better lol!
