It wasn't the fact that we lost to them that surprised me. We have trouble with smaller quicker teams that shoot the three, get in the passing lanes, deny and steal passes, and disrupt offenses. This is what St. Francis and Niagara did. (The cuse coach was hallucinating when he watched film on us). It was how bad we lost to them that got me. We looked hapless. How many threes did they hit on ball screens? That shouldn't happen. They just out executed us tonight. And they took the clock down to one second, and made the shot with one second left, time and time again. It was amazing, and you have to give them a lot of credit.
Also, we knew Mussini would struggle against taller athletic point guards. But it also appears he struggles against smaller point guards. That guy gave him a lot of trouble and it looked like he was thrown off his game. Creighton is a smaller, quicker team that shoots threes and they play smart. They're a team from the second half of the league, but it's unfortunate we do not match up with them.
