That was me Demon... Nice game, but Robinson (from three) was 3 for 15 in Hawaii, and 4-for-23 over a 6 game disaster stretch... plus he's a human fouling machine... season highlight includes, in the 3-point Loyola Marymount loss, going 1-for-6 from three, 1-for-9 total from the field, and fouling out... not sure getting hot for one half makes up for December...

Robinson shot 40.7% from 3 last year and 14-30 (46.7%) in the first part of the season before that six-game stretch. He was in a slump, but definitely someone who should keep shooting the ball.

Check again.....and thank you for showing these stats.

DePaul is much improved, and they are a dangerous team when they roll out the lineup with 5 shooters. It'll be interesting to watch them vs. Nova.

However, as a Creighton fan, I've come to grips with the fact that we are just bad. There is nothing about this team right now that leads me to believe we can win more than 2 or 3 games in conference. Poor defense. Poor shooting. Not a good combo.

At this point we need to play the guys who will be here next year (Gilmore, Hanson, Milliken, Groselle, Zierden, Hegner, and even Clement) as much as possible. The seniors should lose the right to finish the year - they've failed to step up.
At least the Big East will have one doormat this year.

just looking at the schedule for Creighton.

If they don't win one of the next 3- home vs Seton Hall, @ Marquette, home vs Providence- Creighton could have a real long losing streak. Their games after that- @ Butler, @ Villanova, St John's, Georgetown, @ Xavier, and @ St John's. They could be on a 13 game losing streak heading into a home game with Marquette.

Cool. Thanks for letting me know, dude. I totally didn't know our schedule.

Villanova had a similar season in 2011-2012. It was a long basketball season knowing there wasn't a lot to look forward to. Fortunately Villanova's time in the cellar of the BigEast standings was short lived. It was painful at the time but I think VU basketball is much stronger having had that awful season.

So R Jay I take it you will take back what you said in the preseason? Quotes below. Many saw this coming from a mile away. But boy, you quickly turned on your team. It's going to be a tough road for the Jays. Talent level needs a major upgrade even with the incoming transfers....and they are at a disadvantage in regards to recruiting thanks to their location compared to most other Big East schools. Consider me dumbfounded...at the Jays lack of talent.

"Are Big East fans always this ignorant? It appears quite a bit of people in Milwaukee, Chicago, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, New York, and Providence will be dumbfounded this year."

Go back to your Wichita board, troll. P.S. Hope you're enjoying your trips to Carbondale, Terre Haute, and Evansville.
