Creighton is literally a 1 man team. McDermott. Yes I said it.

So sick of the hooking that McDermott does and never gets called for. SJ once again coming right to the ropes of a ranked upset for the 4th time this year. And once again, SJ confirms it's the unluckiest team in the country. Take McDermott off this Creighton team and they are on training wheels.

Tonight, they were. And that is a credit to St. John's.

I agree, announcers need to stop saying it's more than just Doug. When you have more than 2/3's of your teams points, it's just one guy.

McDermott does like that hook as well. I saw that too.

Also, the guy who said Creighton was getting jobbed in their own house must have been in the bathroom every time they got away with contact under the basket.

Good game Blue Jays, Dougie is a beast! I'm proud of my Johnnies from showing some fight. A couple of free throws from coming away with this one. Now take out Marquette sat and keep this rolling.

You added this after the initial post. This sounds like sour grapes. You played well and came up a little short. Creighton has a lot of pieces that compliment Doug very well...or did you not watch Wragge and Manigat in the Villanova game?

Bitter are we? Doug had 14 points last game and we still beat Georgetown. Today, we needed our star to carry Creighton on his back. However, this is far from a one man team.

Nice, but I don't watch ESPN anymore, so I'll have to trust you...! :D

Dougie McBuckets has to be National Player of the Year. Should be unanimous. Guy is a stud. With the rest of the week off, Creighton can now climb in the polls and solidify their RPI as other teams lose (Iowa, Pitt, etc).

On the flipside, even in defeat St John's is showing great signs tonight with more that half the BE season left to play. This may just be a tiny blip in a continued winning streak.

Hmm well let's see. The refs literally saying "Here Creighton! You win"…yeah that's kind of rough. We come all the way back from 18 then Jordan makes an and 1 but wait no! It's an offensive foul…duh. Creighton is at home…duh. I wish I could play you 1 on 1 in basketball and hook my arm around yours to get open every time. You'd say "Hey man what the hell? You can't do that"…I'd say "Exactly!". It's not sour grapes when refs really did hose the Johnnies once again. And that BS charge call on Jordan meant Doug's shot was a game winner instead of just a tie and OT. Call it sour grapes if you want I don't care, but Creighton after this year is going to be terrible unless they really put in crazy recruiting work and get guys to come to Nebraska. You can't make 3's whenever you need them and rely on 1 player forever. He's gone after this year. You will get mad at me for this, but you know it's true too. We must have lost 5 games by a combined 20 points by now including 3 ranked teams.
