They shot that well and AU is only down two. Gotta play better D and hope they cool off.

90% of those 3's were defended well. We are playing 5 Steph Curry's. They would be beating any NCAA team in history right now. WTF do you do to beat that?

There's not a lot you can do. We are down 2, which considering how hot they were is a good spot.

Just keep playing them.

Unlike football, in hoops, you can only play so much "defense".

Plus, these days you can only "hit" people so hard to send a message.

If they can maintain 60+% from 3, congrats. I don’t see it happening

Several were wide open on transition and couple other were off picks with Kalkbrenner where AU didn’t switch. Only about 50% were defended well.

That said, Creighton looks way more gassed and aren’t near as deep as AU. Think this favors AU more as the game goes on as Creighton’s legs start getting heavy…shooting will likely cool off.

I like good fundamental defense in March and figured they had good enough guard play to beat a team like Tech.

They were my cinderella.

I will say, the whistle in this AU game has been more even. We’ll see how the 2nd half goes, but so far this has been one of the best officiated games of the tourney.

Agreed. Not a badly called game at all.
