Hall down 12.

I should have stopped eating after plate 1 and I should’ve stopped watching Big East basketball after game 1.

Now I feel kinda sick.

Trey Alexander was 1-16 from the field today. Jays simply can’t win when that happens.

With it being at family couldn't focus on the Big East games as I would normally do.

If FAU is good, which is hard to say after the home loss to Bryant, Butler put up a good fight. Winnable game. We'll see when they play Penn State on Friday.

Villanova beating North Carolina is Excellent! I thought I saw UNC go up by 7 or 9 in the 2nd half.

Seton Hall, I saw only 5 minutes when USC went up 38-22.

What happened to Creighton?

What happened to Creighton?

Simply put, couldn’t hit water if they fell out of a boat. We had three extended shooting droughts in the first half but only trailed by 8 at half. Second half was even worse.

Someone compared this Jays team to the Doug/Wragge team and they might be right. When they are good, CU is almost unbeatable. But when shots aren’t falling, they lack the athleticism and defensive ability to win ugly games. At least that’s the worry, although the season is still very early and it’s probably foolish to draw too many conclusions yet.

Right now Creighton is not the Elite team from preseason thinking. They might end up being that good, but they need improvement on defense and need to find a way to score when 3 point shots aren't falling. They are taking way too many 3 pointers.
