Creighton vs Auburn

[vivid_red]

Who will win and do we care? My 2 cents; If they shoot 3's, highly unlikely due to the law of averages, like they did against us they have a chance of pulling the upset. I would like to see that just for the fact that a sec 1 seed goes down. A side note about Creighton; over their last 10 games, not including against us, their 3 point shooting average was 34.4. They averaged 45.8 on 3's in our game. The game before ours against St Johns 23.1

My gut says Creighton shoots like crap today after going Steph Curry against the Cards but we'll see what happens.

Auburn is a decent defensive team, not great but decent. What I liked about Creighton was they understand passing the ball creates good shots. They got a lot of open looks against us because of the passing and we looked lost.
Tbs, Creighton will get good shots that might not be 3s. They're very well coached and they'll take what the defense gives them. Auburn squeaks this one out.🤷

That's all true. But that one guy, forgot his name, was hitting every single shot in the second half- fadeaways, floaters, etc. couldn't miss no matter how well he was guarded.

They also set a lot of screens that were quite effective

.... If they shoot 3's,... like they did against us they have a chance of pulling the upset.....

No, they WILL win, if they shoot like that again. PERIOD

You know Creighton won’t hit anything tonight.

What a game! Has the makings of one of the better games so far. We'll see 😂

Auburn playing some great defense. It's the difference. I wish Creighton had spent the whole night lobbing it into the big guy like they are tonight.
