Honestly the fact that we can start a half like we did in the 2nd and still beat a team is a pretty big deal. The defensive game plan was flawless. Offensively, sometimes this team can only play with the cards they're dealt

Do you think all other teams play elite defense? Our D has caused opponents fits all year. Tonight we tasted our own medicine.
Yeah, I don't know why anyone is insecure about some red flags being raised about our offense.
We know its limited. The Baylor game shows we know how to play when it's limited in talent and shot making (getting to the paint, FTs), but TT basically fouled us so badly we could not even run offense.
We have a freshman pg and a bunch of average ball handlers, and a center that is not a threat.
We also made no adjustments. TT is mugging and restricting movement, and our response was to run stuff through Conditt with a small freshman pg that can't shoot, a sg that can't shoot or do anything on offense. That is BAD combo.
Get Enaruna and Kunc in there. I don't think it matters more than 4-6 points, because TT still would not have allowed guys to move, but 4-6 more points is big in this game
LOL YES
1)High ball screen 2)?????? 3)Jack up conested jumper, usually from three 4)repeat
Actually this is good tape to watch and figure out our shortcomings. Initially I expected a rock fight but when they got up I thought we’d be fine.
This was the Ewing theory application for Tech. They knew they had to lay it on the line because they were short handed.
Last ten minutes we went into 'don't lose' mode and it felt like nobody had confidence in their shot.
That will be our worst shooting half this season, hopefully. TJ will get them back on track.

Don't feel like TJ/staff are sleeping much tonight or the next few days.
I love when amateur posters on CF make recommendations as to TJ's coaching.
Beating a team playing a bunch of backups in very non-convincing fashion is usually reserved for our friends out East.
I am interested to see what Scott Christopherson's analysis of this game is. He's been spot on in analysis all year, especially on the offensive end.
Geez, Walters just tweeted that Jaz drew 11 fouls tonight. Incredible.
Prohm actually had some pretty good offensive success against Bread/Adams defenses if i recall.
We can't have Hunter, Gabe, and Conditt out there while running high post offense past the three point line, Conditt with his back to the bucket.
Creighton lost tonight by 34 to Nova, on the road. 2 weeks ago they beat them at home by 20. Weird **** happens in basketball, and just a change in one variable will change the entirety of a game. Butterfly effect ****, I guess. As fugly as it was, take a W any way possible.
Remember when fans were just hoping for 10 wins total?
Now beating tough conference teams is sad.
Did you see much coaching on that end?
I love when people use false authority claims on a message board. **** the site down CW. Only coaches allowed.
It worked in the Enaruna thread, so maybe it will work this time too!
I guess the turnovers concern me when watching but looks like 18 from box score. Felt like more somehow. I do think they weren’t calling some hacks by Tech.
