Creighton is just awful. Absolutely terrible.

They have one of the best visual looks in the country and didn't wear it for either game of this road trip.
Dix has been horrible tonight (along with rest of team). Complete nonfactor. 0 points in 28 minutes so far. And he only plays on the offensive end.
Major bullet dodged by the Illini.
The injury story doesn’t make a lot of sense. The kid doesn’t seem to want to play.
The entire Big East is. Just barely above the ACC.
Josh Dix being a top 5 portal get not aging well. I know we pursued. I never got it but I'm also an idiot
WCC. The Big East is worse than the ACC. They are just above the MWC and WCC though.
We also pursued Pryce Sandfort, who turned out to be pretty good. The portal is hit or miss. Really have to be on-point with your evaluation and roster fit.
Yes you’re right. I mistyped there I actually meant below not above.
my point would be, I bet he's getting paid a fraction of what dix is. I think the staff has done a great job of knowing when to hold em and when to fold em if the price isn't right.

John Groce: “What’s wrong with that??”
(Sadly, I cannot find the infamous “30 second timeout, followed by finger guns” from John Groce.)
How do guys come and play for this coach?

If the Oompa Loompas from Willie Wonka took human form, they would all look like Mick Cronin.
Thank God we didn’t get Dix from Iowa. Overrated.
Win tomorrow and we will move no less than 2 spots up if the Zags lose at home.
End of an era in that rivalry too with tonight being last conference game in Spokane between the two (they'll face off in Moraga at the end of February).
They mentioned on broadcast that St. Mary's has beaten the Zags at least once the last 4 seasons and is the only WCC school to sweep Gonzaga in a regular season series matchup since Mark Few has been there. They did it in the 2015-16 season and last season.

Not sure how I’ve never thought of this, but given Gonzaga’s schedule every year and constant high rankings … Saint Mary’s has got to be the second favorite team of the fan base of every program that competes for top 3 seeds regularly.

Gonzaga has the formula down pat. Win some good non conference games, ride the usual media buzz through a conference with two tough games, get a high seed, get exposed in the round of 32. Repeat ad infinitum.Not sure how I’ve never thought of this, but given Gonzaga’s schedule every year and constant high rankings … Saint Mary’s has got to be the second favorite team of the fan base of every program that competes for top 3 seeds regularly.
I wonder if Gonzaga will keep playing St. Mary’s as a non con once they leave next year for the new PAC-12.
His pausing and then talking again while cutting off the next question is.....something.
I bet he's a blast at parties.
I think he is hilarious. He is like Fran without good hair.
