@kso_FAN - Have we had trouble shutting down star players this year? Arguably we split with Trey Young, but I know we handled Bamba pretty well.  Any others?

This should be a fun matchup and frankly I think a really good matchup for us. They are heavily guard oriented, two excellent guards. They play with very good pace and they don't guard anyone or rebound. They are excessively soft in the front court. The team they most resemble we've played is Arizona State although Creighton's guards are much better at getting to the rim.

I know FAN will have his sweet charts showing Creightons Advanced stats. 

Just glancing at the stats in their 18 Big East Regular season games=

1) Creighton shoots it well (56.6 eFG). Better than they allow (52.8)
2) They suck at Offensive Rebounding. Like just under 19%
3) TO difference was dead even
4).Neither them nor their Opponents have a high FTR (23-25%)
5) 45.7% of their shots are 3pt (make 36.8%). Ku in their 18 B12 games had 42.7% of their shots being 3pt

I think the selection committee wants oscar to keep his job.  Cats by 14.

I think oscar oscar beats McNeck and gets the round of 32 berth monkey off his back and Kansas State fans embrace him as their own.

I wish nothing but the worst for Marcus Foster - he single handedly turned this program for the worst right when they were poised to turn the corner. Hopefully he suffers a career ending injury in the game - that would be irony - yeah I’m mad at him i don’t know him personally and could care less - what he did was selfish and damaging to a team and coaching staff that had faith in him

hopefully cheeseburger foster isn't too high on weed to give anything less than his best effort.  i don't need jays fans making excuses to me on Monday.

Where was this posted?  There must be a deeper issue...possibly caught Foster with his gf/wife? 

Also curious what corner the bball program was turning.

Marcus is really good, but I'm more worried about guarding Thomas and Hegner.

It was posted by #LIFE's other sock on a scout forum somewhere.

What kind of macabre sense of humor does the committee have to pit Wichita State vs. Marshall. I'm surprised Okie State wasn't the play-in game.

These people are, at their core, schedule-makers.

It's always interesting how they make interesting matchups that don't normally occur in regular scheduling.

Like pitting us against CU, for example.  I'm excited about renewing our rivalry with the Buffaloes.

Creighton lost their 6'9 Forward Krampelj to an ACL over a month ago.  They are 5-7 vs Div 1 teams since (they also played a beat a Div 2 team in February). Krampelj was their 3rd leading scorer and best Rebounder.  They took a redshirt off of another big, but he doesn't appear to be real Solid.

In those 12 games, CU shooting stats didn't alter much.  They did struggle a little more on the boards than usual.

12 game stats-

Off eFG 55.6%
Def eFG 54.3%

OR% 19.3
Opp OR% 28.9

FTR-
CU 26.6
Opp 23.8

3pt% -
CU 36.3
Opp 37.5

3PTA/FGA-
CU- 45.6% shots are 3s
Opp- 39.8%

FT%-
CU 74.4
Opp 74.8

Dont know TO% but total TOs-
CU 131
Opp 134

Not sure of PPP either but CU was outscored by 25 pts in the 12 games, so I'd guess approx minus 0.03 in PPP difference

I don't give a rat's ass about Foster.  Good riddance.  Cats favored by 2.5+.
