Blue & Gold

First I've heard of it.

Definitely. I haven't seen Gonzaga play, but there's no way they're going to be as athletic as Creighton.

Good showing. Creighton looks like an Elite 8 type of team. They are athletic and can shoot the ball. And they were making clutch shots. Good game. We're not at their level. But we're not that far behind, either. P.s. Hate to say it, but I'm glad KD limited Josh's minutes down the stretch. He doesn't seem to offer us much. He's a one-trick-pony on offense & can't guard anyone.

TAKE JOSH WILLIAMS OUT.

My thoughts, exactly. Gotta keep playing smart & not get lured into a shootout. Josh Williams reeeeally struggles on D. Keep it going, Kwan.

I'm on my phone so can't post the link, but George Thomas just tweeted that Robotham is out for the Creighton game.

I should have started a new thread about Jerome declaring for the draft instead of pasting his tweet in his recruiting thread. Here is the Akron Beacon Journal's blurb.

Bible: Can't replace someone like Send-It-In-Jerome. But... we're gonna still be stacked like pancakes at WR next year. In addition to our WR's already on the roster who got decent playing time this year (Austin Wolf, Kwadarius Smith, Kevin Gladney, A.J. Coney, Anthony Lauro) we're adding... Bryce Dixon (6-4, 225) 3-star who had offers from Miami-FL, Boston College, NC State & Old Dominion Freddie Simmons (6-3, 180) 3-star who had offers from NC State, Rutgers, West Virginia, Virginia, Cal, UCF, Temple, Purdue, Western Michigan & Buffalo Thaddeus Snodgrass (6-1, 170) 4-star who had offers from Ohio State, Penn State, Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Purdue, West Virginia, South Carolina, Kentucky, Cincinnati, Toledo & Ohio. Holy crap. So, hey P.J. Fleck... how ya like them apples... I mean stars?!

Love Jerome. Most physically gifted WR we've ever had. But he's awfully raw & I think could have really benefited from another year here. I was looking forward to he & Woody tearing it up next year. Good luck, Jerome! Represent!

The Repository scooping The Beacon Journal

"I want to especially thank coaches Terry Bowden, Jeff Bowden, Matt Gildersleeve and Todd Stroud." Coach Milwee...? Hmm.

We're too reliant on the 3-ball... but what else is new. Honestly, I'm not in love with our 3-guard starting lineup. Neither Noah nor Josh are quick; we need more athleticism in the starting 5. We're gonna get run off the court by more athletic teams. We started the Adrian game shooting 5-of-15 on 3's. If we start like that -vs- Creighton this game is going to be over before the 10:00 mark.

That's right! Syracuse. Good year in Stark Co.

Good to hear this. Watching him early I was fearful he'd be a bust.

Treon Sibley was named 1st Team All-Ohio D-III @ DB.

This game is so bad we're going to be less prepared to face Creighton on Saturday than we were before tip-off.
