Creighton Closed Scrimmage

I still find the lack of optism for this year puzzling. Not that everyone is pessimistic, but some certainly are.

Every team pretty much shuffles the deck every year now. Losing a lot or bringing a lot back is antiquated thinking.
1. We have coaching stability and a guy who has proven himself
2. We have had some success safely getting in tournament two consecutive years including a S16 and a disappointing first round blowout…still safely in.
3. Top Ten recruiting class
4. Very good transfer class
5. A Top ten home venue in college basketball
6. Outside shooters for first time under Otz (the glaring weakness of the past two teams who still made NCAA without them)

I just don’t understand if there could ever be a year to be optimistic if it isn’t this year. You can even find examples of really average middling teams getting hyped because they return average players, that’s archaic thinking.

Need to get some games in and see what they have.

Then see how the 2nd (conference) season shakes out.

I'm excited though.

We would have won if the game mattered. TJ plays around with lineups in these things and tries to find what works.
How do you know this? Can you say that for sure?

I think we'll suck this year!

Just playing with ya clondude!

The annual promise of “improved O line play” has jaded a lot of people probably. I need to see better 3 pt shooting before taking it for granted. Same with FTs.
