OK Dash and Xup, tell the truth... did you change channels at halftime? Lol... what a half. Congrats, I don't think it's hyperbole to say that is a huge win.

That's a seed line type of comeback for Xavier. And vice versa for Creighton- if they're in Dayton or out of the tournament, the game today is going to be why.

Didn't know a 29-2 run was even possible in D1 let along a high major game. Props to Xavier. Not sure our young team will be able to recover from this....

I am concerned that it might have mentally broken Creighton. I want to see them with a decent seed in the Tournament this season.

Crap. You nailed me! I wanted something light and airy to watch after watching that mess for the first half, so I turned to HEAT and immediately got to watch Al Pacino and Robert De Niro having coffee together in a diner.

Frankly, I don’t know what to say Chap. Look at what this team can do when it hits from the outside. I certainly enjoy the second half!

They're going to be lucky to just make the tourney. Schedule pretty tough for them- still have 5 KP level A games and 3 level B ones. To get a good seed they'd need to go on a 9-2 type of run I think. The goal for them now is just making the tourney.

I think we are NIT bound still alot of chances but this has to kill them mentally. I thought they were NIT to begin the season anyways so....

No way Creighton looks like a tourney team. Gawd awful performances in winnable games. Probable significant underdogs at both games this week.

Right.

I think a good thing for Creighton to make the NIT is 2 games this week are games going in not necessarily expecting to win- @ UConn, and @ Seton Hall. So a 1-2 game hangover wouldn't give totally unexpected loses.

They looked like a tourney team in the first half. And there's really no shame in losing to Xavier, it's the Butler one that hurts a bit. Those Nova and Marquette wins look better every day though.

[XUFan09]

Creighton joins Villanova, Marquette, Providence, and DePaul in gaining a double-digit lead on Xavier, only to see it evaporate. Nova, Marquette, and Providence won their games but only after Xavier tied it. Basically, Xavier has been a very mercurial team this year. They seesaw between top 10 performances and not even top 100 performances.
