#19 Oklahoma at Creighton FS1 at 8pm ET Wednesday

Hey guys. Creighton fan who here. Was at the game and can assure you we did not rush the court. The AP story is wrong.

[FriarJ]

don't really see anything wrong by them doing what they did. Awesome comeback win- not going to find a better one just about all year long pretty much. Also think the Creighton players are in a lot more pressured situation than we realize in some ways- losing a legend like Greg- you are asked constantly about that I'm sure. Now to come back and win the 1st real game w/o him- especially with all the adversity they experienced both early and then right at the start of the 2nd half(thought they were going to get blown out quite frankly)- it's a season changing type of win quite frankly.

Looking big picture- now if they can split the 2 tourney games, Tulsa, and Nebraska- all the other OOC games are real winnable- they would be 11-2 OOC. Add just 9-9 OOC and Creighton is at that magical 20 win mark. Go any better in the 4 tough OOC games coming up- and it's 21 or 22 wins and an easy tourney bid.

So I appreciate the fact you recognize a wonderful conference win. But then you go on to say a home win against the number 18 team is the best the conference will see this year.

You are a douche bag.

A few posters on this site, seemingly from the C-7 group, might think about who they really are. A number of you root for teams that that haven't been truly relevant as great college basketball programs for over a decade. And yet you criticize the fans of one of the "New 3" for showing their happiness and pride in celebrating a win over a highly rated P-5 team when their own team was picked to finish 9th in the pre-season Big East Poll.

Why do you think Butler, Creighton, and Xavier were selected to bring this Conference to 10? It sure as hell wasn't to shine the shoes of, and pay homage at the shrines of, the C-7. Two of those three teams finished as high or higher than all but one of the C-7 in their very first year in the Conference. The other was just a couple of years away from having reached the Final Four twice. Instead of being critical of the fans of Creighton (who happen to attend their team's games at twice the numbers as most of your fans), you who are critical of their love and support of the Jays should take a look in the mirror and find there someone who has no right to exact such criticism.

In retrospect, perhaps you are being critical because you have forgotten how elated fans can get upon realizing true on-court success by your favorite Big East team. For that, we Butler, Creighton, and Xavier fans feel for your years of misery.

I guess this post will qualify me to occupy a place in the "douch bag" gallery! I don't care --- it needed to be said.

Students were ready to storm. Ras, our AD, was right under the hoop and told them not to. I don't know if they were listening to him or if the 10 real minutes to play the last 5 seconds caused them to forget what they were down there for.

It's a new league finding an identity. The old guys want to establish the order based on what their conference used to be. The new guys feel disrespected. It will sort itself out on the court. Fwiw, I think X will be one of the powers in this league.

Frankly, as a Creighton fan, I get a kick out of this board and the different attitudes. Even SJHooper cracks me up, although it looks like he now might have a restraining order.

For what it's worth, ESPN says you did storm the court: http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/recap?gameId=400585687

Flat out wrong and irresponsible journalism. I was there. No one went on the court after the game, except the cheerleaders and maybe a few of the blue crew. Creighton does not storm the court for a routine Wednesday night win over a #18 team.

On a side note - damn that was fun.

I said that not going to find a better COMEBACK win all year long. Not a better win....

Also quite frankly it will be the best win the conference will get this week. Neither one of Providence games this weekend would compare to it- not even close quite frankly! No one else has an opponent equal to Oklahoma.

Tip of the hat. Great win!

Now the rest of the BEast needs to take care of non conference foes to get our RPI up.

I need a cigarette after reading that.

so fun to look at the stats by half
1st half-
FG- OU 13-32 40.6% CU 6-25 24%
3pt- OU 5-10 50% CU 2-14 14.3%
Reb- OU 24 CU 17
TO- OU 5 CU 6
2nd half-
FG- OU 9-30 30% CU 15-31 48.4%
3pt- OU 3-14 21.4% CU 6-12 50%
Reb- OU 20 CU 20
TO- OU 7 CU 3

And remember- OU made their first 3 shots and 1st 3 pointer of the 2nd half in that 7-0 run. After that only 6-27 from the field and 2-13 from 3 point range.
