Creighton Game Thread

Doug has a lot of similarities to Adam Morrison. Great college players because they can shoot the lights out and can get by most college defenders but will have a trouble with bigger and quicker NBA players, like Morrison

Pretty  sure Doug has a more advanced post game than Morrison ever had

And he's a lot stronger with an aggressive streak.  He'll be a solid, but not great pro.  Teams devote their entire attention to slowing him down and can't at the college level.  As a third option at the NBA level, one on one, he'll be tough. 

The one thing about this year, unlike past years, is that SJU could actually win the conference tournament. Obviously, it's not the ideal situation, to have to rely on winning that Tournament, but it's actually possible this season unlike any season in the last ten years.

You're not kidding.  We had no chance the last decade at winning the conference, but we do this year.  Finish sixth and win two games to make it to the championship game.  It would look something like Xavier first game (2nd round), Nova/Creighton second game (3rd Round), and then Nova/Creighton championship--all at MSG, all winnable.

That's all we have to hope for at this point.
