Welp, either Colorado State is good, or we're in for a very long season........

69-48 over Creighton.

I know.....games in November are two rolls of toilet paper north of meaningless, but it doesn't help that the same issues Fran's teams always have are ever-present in yet another team with several new faces.

I think there's a possibility we're gonna be in for a long season, and Colorado St's talent & ability having very little to do with determining that.


Like you said @EvilMonkeyInTheCloset , Fran's teams treat defense like its a plague to be avoided. And in games where the Hawks are having an off shooting night, they're gonna lose and lose ugly.

Creighton is bad, and we suck ass.

One word…defense. If you don’t play it, gonna lose.

Creighton is similar to Iowa in style in that they try to run the ball/up tempo and defense is secondary. The lack of defense will limit their NCAA run. They are a lot better than us though.

Major wtf reaction to that final score. They must've used up all their luck against us.

McDermotts basketball philosophy is nothing like Frans.

Any given night, anyone can beat anyone. Iowa shot like crap and played terrible defense today.

It’s one game. Let’s see if they learned anything from it.

November games aren't meaningless. You need a couple nice out of conference wins for a tourney bid.

No shit.

But let's be real. Iowa's lack of a continued defensive intensity & application played a big part in Creighton's "good luck" on the night the Hawks played them.


The Bluejays had 43 in the first half and 49 in the 2nd vs Iowa. They scored a total of 48 this afternoon.

Colorado State is 7-0. Game was on a neutral court. News flash, there is a lot of parity and unpredictability in college basketball.

It's college basketball. Anything can happen on a given night. All about trends over the long term.
