The Hall loss is a bad loss. A Big East team should beat Mercer - I don't care how good Mercer might be this year or how tough they are at home. There are going to be bad losses, everyone gets them. But don't put quotes around it, The Hall should have won this one.

Creighton and McDermott not in sync early in this one.

After being down as much as 14, Creighton ends the half down only 5. Hopefully we've weathered the storm. Defense has been horrible and St. Joe's is shooting it well. Wragge and Brooks keeping us in the game. Doug with only 8 points on 5 shots.

What are you talking about. Losing to a likely NCAAT team on the road is a bad loss now. By the end of the season a Mercer on the road would have been a better win for SHU than SJU was for Wisconsin.

Two point game with 3 minutes to play. Need Creighton to hold on here.

What are YOU talking about? Did you actually watch the game? Mercer is NOT good. Even if they win their league (a dubious proposition based on what I saw today) they'll be over 100 in the RPI. They were 118 last year when they won their league. And don't spout any nonsense about road games, that arena was empty, it was a nothing atmosphere. If we can't get a win there heaven help us when we play any league road game. It is a BAD loss, no quotes necessary, emphasis required.

Yeah I did & Mercer was good enough to be the favorite in the game (KenPom) so really what are you talking about? How can you say a team that beat your team with your best player going for over 30 is no good?

What a finish - sure looked like Creighton was going to blow it, but McDermott with a HUGE bucket.
