Creighton gettin' spanked by Baylor

[Cyclonepride]

Scott Drew with the goofy time out though. He still does have that.

McBuckets isn't even the best player in this game.

Different conference

I'm asking if Creighton's performance makes UCONN's win over Villanova less impressive? I was never high on Nova, and now I'm REALLY low on them seeing that they lost to Creighton by 25 twice, thinking that both those teams are weaklings compared to Baylor.

 

[Jsievers24]

crappy that Mcbuckets will go out like this. but at least we have 2 big12 teams in the sweet16, I was worried after KU lost today

McBuckets isn't even the best player in this game.

I didn't know this was his nickname. At the half I thought they were saying "Mc-****-its".

So confused.

 

[stateofmind]

Where will Doug finish in the all-time scoring? Still a chance for 4th?

Man, watching Baylor crush Creighton makes me miss Georges even more. Our offense was the best in the country with him.

 

[swarthmoreCY]

Baylor>>KU from what I have seen tonight

True. That said, if the Big 12 had not been hit with injuries, I'd take the ISU, Baylor, KU trio over any conference.

Not sure we can beat Baylor without him. As crazy awesome as another rematch would be- pretty sure I don't want it.

Did Steve Kerr use "It's like the Varsity playing the JV" or something to that effect in this game? That takes me back to the Johnny Orr team's game against Michigan years ago.

The mythical 5-point play coming?

He did made me lol.

This is giving me flashbacks to when McDermott was our coach and couldn't beat anybody but Nebraska and Colorado. The guy just can't coach against teams with actual and/or superior coaching. Marquette, Xavier, Georgetown, St. John's, and and Nova are going to have a nice time once Douggie is gone next year.

 

[marothisu]

LOL did Creighton seriously just foul on purpose down 29 points with 2:30 left?

 

[cyclones500]

I for one have officially replaced any Scott Drew jokes with Travis Ford indefinitely. The guy resurrected a program that was in horrid shape (understatement) and has some pretty good tourney success. Yes, he's had some really good talent and last year was an underachievement. However, he earned my respect the way this team held together after a brutal stretch.

Drew still has some underachievement history in regular season, compared to promise of talent, but I'll say this: He's been fairly successful in tournament format:

• 2 Elite 8's
• 1 Sweet 16 (minimum) in 2014
• NIT runner-up
• NIT title
• Big 12 tournament runner-up three times — twice knocking out 1 seed (one time as a 9, also beating 8 & 5), once knocking out 2nd & 3rd.

I respect Scott Drew now. I'll be pulling for Baylor all the way here, unless our title game rematch happens.

Kudos to Greg accomplishing so much at Creighton. My second post on CF was pretty critical of him. But great to see him do well.

This is how I feel - I hope they smoke Wisconsin too, though I don't think that will happen but I do think they will win if they play their D.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Only fitting the 2 teams that made big 12 tourney championship are the 2 big 12 teams left in the big dance. Here's to a ISU Baylor Part 4 for national title.

Thank you, Baylor.
