One game after making 16 3-pointers against Bowling Green, the Zips were only 3 of 9 from long range while Creighton was 6 of 18.
Doug McDermott had 16 points and 16 rebounds for the Bluejays, who had a 42-32 rebounding edge.

Second half collapse.

Down 40-36 with 14:37 left, Akron went on an 11-4 run, punctuated by two layups apiece by McKnight and Cvetinovic, to take the lead for good.

I don't like to wish anyone bad luck, but god I love seeing McDermott lose.

Thank you Creighton! Thank you!

Creighton going to make the NIT?

So sad......

I know people enjoy seeing Creighton lose. But how was this a collapse? Creighton was down by 1 at halftime and I think only up by 4 with 11 minutes left.... They are a mediocre team that got beat on the road by another mediocre team.

I wonder if KG-Bluejay is posting on the creighton boards...

**isuno1fan** · 02-19-2011, 09:07 PM

I don't consider this one a collapse. Honestly...I didn't know their record was that good and they are 9-7 in conf.

They may actually sneak into the NIT with a strong finish and good showing in STL.

CBI for them at best in a down MVC year.

Missourri State/Witchia State/UNI. 1 of them in the dance the other 2 in the NIT. Leaves CU to CBI at best.

They have been playing better recently in the Valley but Weasel Wesley only posts about CU when they lose. They have a legit chance to win the Valley tourney.

I don't enjoy losing right now.

But it is a comfort knowing things will get better after this year and that goof in Omaha will be applying his ill skills somewhere else.

Whether it makes me feel better or not, it's pretty funny.

I was previously a Creighton fan, but Mac has ruined Jays basketball for me. The similarities between Mac coached ISU teams and Creighton, and both fanbases' complaints about the teams/coaching are amazing.

No way.

CU, thanks for taking mcD off of our hands.

I love to see another loss. I have several hawk friends, I am going to have to borrow some of their gear next basketball season as they play against Creighton at Wells Fargo Arena. Hell, maybe I will go to the game painted black and gold.
