It’s not great defense, but you still have to put the ball in the basket, might be able to keep this one competitive if we didn’t go on a 6 min scoring drought. It's a 2 possession game, I don't know what universe that isn't competitive. Creighton is the #16 kenpom team. They've turned it over 11 times in one half, and Georgetown limited them to 28. That's the best defensive half Georgetown has played all year. Not gonna lie, was half expecting Creighton to blow it open the longer the drought went on. Happy to be in it.

Brumbaugh only 1-6. Gotta do better to have a chance in the 2nd half

Hoyas with just 3 turnovers in the half is a really nice improvement. Now to get the rebounds going. More importantly get the scoring going.
Other than some lapses by Styles the defense has seemed fairly good and giving Creighton a lot of problems.

this team loses their feet over nothing at all. I have no idea why they're jumping and what they're jumping at half the time.
Again Cook has no idea where the ball is and offers no help defense. Not the tendency you want from your center

Cook and Mutombo have set some really good picks tonight and Hoyas have used them really well.

so here we see what this bunch is made of: you know McDermott is lighting a fire under his team - 11 TOs?- and they will come out ready to put us away. And they have.

Sadly Rowan won’t get to play Ashworth every game but hopefully this gives him some confidence that carries over.

Massoud is falling into the trap that dogged Kaiden Rice and Bryson Mozone in prior seasons: he can't overwhelm opponents on the perimeter and gets exposed on defense.
Meanwhile the bench is a combined 0 for 7.

Heath and Styles really having a tough time on defense.
Cook is keeping the Creighton big out of the game (for the most part), but that means he is not there to help with the lapses of Heath and Styles.

I had a 4:15 call and don't get CBSSN. Where is Epps?

Well, this half has started about as poorly as it could.

I had a 4:15 call and don't get CBSSN. Where is Epps? Walking boot. Said ankle injury from the weekend. Unclear if related to the earlier injury. Considered day-to-day.

Yikes. Can get ugly quickly when you have no reliable offensive options. Styles has been a disaster tonight.

Ish called on to play a height based role and he has a wing mentality.
Picks aren't really there, surprised he hasn't been called yet for a moving pick.

First half was decent. Second half so far is painful. Nothing going right.
