Indiana State @ Creighton: Mid-Major Game of the Week

[pawball]

Ya, this should be great game, I agree. But, it's at Creighton......how do you get Creighton out of Craa-ton?

I might well ask why McClelland stalled month after month without attacking.

Sycs have demonstrated elongated guts the past few weeks, and if this were just gonna be a internal fortitude struggle, I'd go the Sycs with an OK chance, but Jays do move the ball beautifully and the home court's the home court.

OTOH, I'm detecting a bit of "Oh, I'm tired of playing defense" in the body language of some of the Jay players, so I suspect that they may revert back to the atrocious defensive play of old. That's how the Sycs might win....if the Jays get lax on D.

Creighton is a 14.5 point favorite in this one. Sad thing is I am thinking of taking that action as I think they win by more than that.

At CU -14.5, I take ISU. Then again, in a similar situation last week, I would have taken Evansville.

18-14 CU with 12 to go

ISU looking very good, up 6. Rebounding very well, playing good quick defense. Timeout McDermott w/ 3:13 left, media TO pending.

27-21 ISU lead w/ 3 to go

That Morehead State loss just keeps looking worse and worse.

Apparently McDermott's new strategy is to try and block every ISU shot. I think they had 4 blocks in the last 3 minutes.

27 all at the break.

[Ricardo del Rio]

Two minute collapse.

inSU is 6/23 on 2-point shots. Yikes! Overall 9/29 for 31% from the field. CU is at 47.8%.

Odum is 1/7. Gant is 1/5. If those 2 can start hitting - should be a great 2nd half.
