yes, taking a top 10 team to the wire in their own barn after trailing by 15+ is a sure sign of a roster full of quitters.This team does not play hard. We're finding out why a lot of these guys were available. I'm not sure why a couple more returners were not allowed to stay. A few of these new guys probably won't be around after a year anyway.
Ur 100% wrong this team is inconsistent but to say they don’t play hard is just unintelligent and uninformed. They played Maryland incredibly hard last outing, played Rutgers tough on the road, defeated Iowa and Purdue on road. This team lacks size, talent, and time playing with each other. The French post yuedrago is 17 playing against the best group of big ten bigs in years, cam Mack is a solid point guard, thor is solid, Cheatham is solid, cross has potential but is a freshman and game is immature. Give them a break. Effort not problem, talent and continuity is problem. If u want to ride with brady heinman and karrington Davis go for itThis team does not play hard.

Yes, kind of. But when you're short and skinny (Mack and Burke) trying to finish against guys both taller and a lot stronger, that's trouble. And when you're a 17-year-old freshman with limited experience playing basketball, and you're also three to four inches shorter and three to seven years younger (Mike Watkins at PSU is 24 years old) than your counterparts, it's not easy to make layups.Man the close up shots and layups that are missed by this team is just unbelievable
This sealed the deal against Maryland. As bad as the 3 point shooting hurt us the missed gimmes killed us.Man the close up shots and layups that are missed by this team is just unbelievable
Yet Creighton wins games. Weird. Do they have a player over 6’7”?Yes, kind of.

Thor generally knows how to finish, but his opportunities come from great back-cuts and Mack passes, leaving him wide open.
Cheatham is really the only guy on the team strong enough and skilled enough to finish well inside. He's also a 6-5 senior, so that's probably no small coincidence on an inexperienced, undersized team.
Green has shown some promise in the last few games as a finisher at the rim.
It's those 15-foot shots after a foul that are most frustrating to me.
They have two players over 6’10”Yet Creighton wins games. Weird. Do they have a player over 6’7”?

Good question, and sarcasm noted. My guess? Experience, talent, shooting. We don't have those. Yet.Yet Creighton wins games. Weird. Do they have a player over 6’7”?
Don’t go there. It wont end well.Yet Creighton wins games. Weird. Do they have a player over 6’7”?
The Big East doesn't have many good post players, and that does help Creighton get by with an undersized lineup. But Creighton's good shooting doesn't just happen because guys happen to show up on campus who can shoot. They move the ball well and have great movement without the ball, which creates open shots in rhythm. With Mack running the show, I think Hoiberg can build a team that does that too. But right now there is a lot of standing around and flat-footed FG attempts.Good question, and sarcasm noted. My guess? Experience, talent, shooting. We don't have those. Yet.
CU shooting 38.3 percent from deep against Big East foes.
I don't watch the Big East, either, because I'm a Nebraska fan and alumnus, so I don't know if the BE has the sort of post play that you see in the Big Ten this season. If the BE does, then kudos to Creighton for overcoming that with their cohesiveness in the system, their passing and shooting skills and their coaching. If not, then that's probably another factor.
Well that isnt exactly true on the height.They have two players over 6’10”
Their top 3 scorers are all over 38% from 3
As a team, they make 47% from the field
Any more questions?
Considering this team has a completely overhauled roster it is easy to see why they struggle. And then include that the Big 10 conference is going to put at least 10 teams in the NCAA tourney it was bad time to pretty much start over.
What..bad time to start over what are you referring too? Should have not hired FH and keep’d Miles around another year..
Had to start from scratch somewhere you’ll see much better results in 2020-21..
