We just don't have the personnel to compete with the top teams. It's going to be more evident towards an end of a close game where players need to make plays. Especially, true with weak guard play. At one point, I was ready to see if the Dominoes box could hit some shots for us.

For someone who accuses other posters of making assumptions, glide sure likes to assume a lot of things, himself. ๐
Made the mistake of displaying some of his posts that I'd hidden, same sh*t over and over again. Only his opinion is right, no one else knows anything about basketball but him. He's the only one that know anything about the program, the players, the coaches. Back to ignoring his string of posts.
The game itself, not a great effort, a lot of the issues we've had through the first half of the season, Creighton had just the right personnel and game plan to exploit and Ewing had no answer. We also couldn't hit the broadside of a barn today so, there's that. This should provide pretty good game tape to highlight our defensive deficiencies. I know the tendency is to want to scrap it and move on but a lot could be learned from it.

Today was a tough game and I was front and center for it. I got front row seats for Christmas and unfortunately had a close view of a whole lot of three point baskets.
To win this game, we really needed to make some shots we don't normally make and hope that Creighton came out cold. The opposite happened. In the first half, I thought we actually took good shots for the most part, they just didn't fall. We did a decent job of getting the ball inside, and we got good looks at the basket. We just couldn't finish. Both Govan and Derrickson were a bit off today and didn't play a lot as the game got out of reach. The only time I thought we really played well was right before the half, as our press led to a few buckets from Walker to cut it under 20.
Creighton is an impressive team, the best team we have faced this year. Impressive ball movement and really quick guys in all five spots. We really didn't have defenders who were a good matchup for any of their players. The front court guys were too fast for Derrickson and Govan, and the guards completely overwhelmed ours.
I thought Walker was a bright spot today, but he also picked up a ton of fouls. Other than that, not a lot to like. I also thought we sort of gave up on the game a bit early in terms of personnel and the like.
Still, as frustrating as it was, I hope the guys chalk this up to a really bad matchup for us. Creighton was on fire today, and we were ice cold. They need to try to forget this game and move on to two more road games.

Dickerson was actually an acceptable 4th guard off the bench today..for today at least, he did his job. Great to see Walker getting run. He is raw, but absolutely an energy guy and might end up our best rebounder..seems to have strong hands and a nose for the ball. Seems like the kind of guy who could have been a valued reserve on the old Hoyas of the 80's. If you let him play through his mistakes he will always be and as I mentioned before I like the way he controls the tempo of a game, and yes even when he shoots some bad shots. I've mentioned to him if he wants to go inside to shoot his floater. Do not go into the teeth of the defense, that's a no no. You're right. What do you mean you have mentioned to him? Unless you are on staff, you have no business critiquing or analyzing their game to them. That's unacceptable if true.

To quote the movie, The Temptations:
"We are not quitters; we...have a (guard, hopefully two, on the way)!"

Only positives today were Walker's play and Johnson's ten rebounds.

Fellas we all need to take a deep breath and step away from the ledge. Creighton and Nova are gonna make us look really bad this year because we just don't have the guard play to compete with them. We will be competitive against the rest of the league home and away but like others have stated we aren't winning many games this year in conference. It drives me crazy hearing or reading people state that our OOC schedule killed any chance of going to the tourney. News flash. We weren't going to any tourney this year.......year 3 is when we make serious noise......๐ Yes. And this was the first time we got dominated start to finish. Pick up and move on.

Not one of those sports media sights will apologize to Marcus Derrickson for putting him out there. smh ... Did you think that this thread would prompt them to do so?

It's really inappropriate to reach out to players, and very insulting for fans to critique a player's game. It's cringe worthy and needs to be discouraged.

Coach Ewings says' Derrickson was rusty. So, I guess he didn't practice the last few days, but has been practicing and working on his game since the summer. I guess Govan was rusty as well?

Grown men telling kids what they should be doing on the basketball court is what's wrong with college sports today. The constant tweeting at players is a bad look. But you keep doing you, the program needs your insight!

You know Glide, you are playing right into the hands of He who must not be named and his minions who want the Thompsons/Ewing out of the Georgetown program.

Glide, I know you are upset, but try posting with the profanity as it will make Dan's job easier by not having to edit words out of your post.
