Zips Win!

There was some absolute dirty play by Creighton during this game that wasn't called. Now I'd like to see them out of the Big East tournament entirely.

LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

[Zip_ME87]

ZIPS WIN!!!

Congrats Zips! You just ended Creighton's season. The Big East tournament will be Georgetown, Akron, Connecticut and Providence.

Payback for basketball 2 seasons ago. Such a dirty team. Enjoy staying home, Creighton! Go Zips!

[Zip_ME87]

Congratulations Zips!!! What a WIN!!! Nice timing of your first Zips goal Thomas O’Rourke!!!

What a team what a game!

[Zip_ME87]

If I understand the BE Tournament seeding, the semifinal matchups will be...

 

#1 Georgetown v #4 Providence

#2 Akron v #3 UConn

So many players had big games.......

Captain Daragh Reilly might have had his best game in a zips uniform.

Matthew Paiva was also awesome in back.

 

Credit to the zips coaching staff.   They changed the momentum of the game in the first half when they substituted Jack Sullivan for Remi.

Stefan is so versatile.     Stefan was able to move to the forward position and that allowed Thomas O'Rourke and Jack Roman to excel as the outside wingers.

 

Phenomenal improvement this year for both Thomas and Jack.

 

The coaching staff made a great decision at half time to stick with Stefan up top and the 2 youngsters at wingers.

Jack Sullivan and Tyler Morck both made some excellent passes during the game.

 

I liked the coaching staff decision late in the game to bring in another strong defender (Jamai Royer).

 

Great game by the players and the coaching staff.

 

Stefan Dobrijevic has to be selected to the Big East first team all conference.   Stefan has had a great senior season.

 

11 shutouts this year for Mitch.     Best keeper in the Big East.

 

Finally, while I thought that several Creighton players (esp. #7 and #11) were thuggish and cry babies.....I do have to give Creighton broadcasters credit for interviewing Thomas O'Rourke and Coach Embick after the game.

 I have confidence that our Zips can rise to this challenge and prevail. 

 

Go Zips!!!

 

I have to reiterate this. I have every confidence this team can find their way to prevail. So happy to see them well supported on the road. Kudos to Mitch Budler's family and friends and all other Zips fans who were able to travel and celebrate with our team as they win the Big East Midwest Division in a very challenging locale. Enjoy Zips and Zips fans in attendance!!!

Creighton is a good team, no doubt. They have one of the best stadiums in the country, but not surfaces. They are also riddled with thugs and cry babies. They are not as quality of a program as I once thought. How sweet it was to win the division at their place, in front of their fans and end their season. Go Zips! on to the BE tournament and a high seeding in the NCAA's.
