Gonna be really hard to beat McDermott twice in 7 days. Have to continue to defend the 3 and hit the boards.

Agreed, it's tough to beat any BE team when playing again so soon, much less a ranked team. Bet on McDermott making some adjustments to try and expose our bigs on the defensive end a little bit better than they did the first time around. Additionally, ball security will be emphasized; they had a lot of sloppy unforced turnovers in the first game against us and we can't count on that happening again.
That being said, the mismatches we can create are still there. They still have no answer for us down low and we should win rebounding by a substantial margin. For us, we really need to be solid at limiting Creighton's offensive rebounds; we were really poor against Nova doing that. Creighton will kill us with second chance opportunities from deep if we give them the chance.
It's going to take another excellent shooting night from us to beat them again, but we're in the midst of the best offensive stretch we've had thus far this season. Of our 4 highest adjusted offensive efficiency games this season, 3 have come in the last 3 games. As long as our guys continue to let it fly with confidence and limit careless turnovers, we'll have a chance at the sweep.

If either Q or Bishop gets 2 early fouls, it could be an indicator of how the night will go.

We really took advantage of the size mismatch with our bigs against them the first game, and they never really made us pay in return the way Samuels did for Villanova. I wonder if they will try to do that more and if so, if we go to the small ball lineup (Pickett, Bile, Sibley, 2 guards) that seemed to work well for us against Nova in the 2nd half. Bile's foul trouble derailed keeping with that against Nova, but the defense was flying around more and getting to shooters better in that run. I hope Pat looks at that more if they start hitting more. Of course, I really just prefer a replay of the last game.

Really quick turnaround for team, and we'll definitely have their attention from the opening tip.
A big difference between Nova and Creighton is Creighton doesn't have a center who can shoot 3s but wondering if they try to ask Bishop to dribble drive Wahab and cause similar issues. I doubt it but McDermott makes adjustments and Nova exposed something fairly obvious. Q shouldn't take the bait so should be able to contain hopefully.
I am curious whether Ewing changes his approach in non-Q minutes. Tim was obviously much better vs. Creighton so would think he keeps his minutes but there's a real option for a small ball team that would be very difficult to defend on offense for spurts.
Does Ewing go any deeper into his bench on a quick turnaround? Creighton wants to play fast, but goes deeper into bench. Nova wants to play slower, so has a similar sized rotation to us. We're in the middle, Ewing wants to play fast but then doesn't trust enough people to expand the rotation. Will we try and slow it down at all?
Otherwise our gameplan almost has to be the same. Attack the glass, win or at least draw the turnover battle, run them off the 3 point line.

This is going to be a tough one again. Hope Dante is ready to defend like a bulldog again. Run them off the 3pt line. Dominate inside and on the boards. A sweep of Creighton would be a huge W on the season. Pat has the guys playing together and they've seen that they will win AS A TEAM.

McDermott will hound the refs to try to keep Dante off of Zegarowski. Hopefully the refs don't call it too closely and put Dante in early foul trouble.

Jays slow to close on Pickett that could be good to exploit if they keep doing it
