Creighton's motto has been #LetitFly, this year it's #Take Flight, better representing the offense as a whole... but we're still #ShooterU

The Friars identity is without a doubt, team defense. Cooley talks about it during press conferences and I'm sure preaches it to the players. Getting stops. He finally has the defense he promised when he took the job. The controlling tempo piece is important but he loves to run on offense when they can and make the opponent go deep into the shot clock. There is where he wants to control tempo.

For Creighton, it is offensive efficiency and tempo. We want to play fast and get lots of possessions.

Like milksteak's list of weaknesses for Butler, Creighton's weaknesses are rebounding, rebounding and rebounding. Defense is actually decent despite the points allowed (that figure is somewhat inflated due to the tempo).

Attitude.

Which translates as defensive intensity, team before self, and having no short-term memory of success or failures.
