Sunday(if we win of course) will be when the real butt clinching begins if it's Creighton. They are a preseason top 10 team and they can score.

Creighton is the #143 tempo in KenPom. And they really can't go any faster. Why is that, you may ask. Let me show you...



They have 4 guys playing basically 32+ minutes per game. 1 guy at 29 minutes, and 1 at 16 minutes. Everyone else is less than 10.

Their starters play a shitload. Only Brandon Miller plays more then 30 minutes a game for us. We have 9 guys who average at least 15 minutes per game, Creighton has 6. And our 9 doesn't even include Pringle.

They only played 6 guys vs Baylor (technically 8, but they only played 3 and 5 minutes). Pretty much every game, they play 6 and a couple others getting under 5 minutes.

They're fricked in the second half if it's close at halftime. They'll need an Oklahoma anomaly type lead.

Creighton is a damn good basketball team. But we are an absolute matchup nightmare for them. They'll need to kill it shooting 3s. And we just happen to be #3 at guarding 3s as per KenPom.
