This will be a good test for Creighton in a game that shouldn't be close, but probably will be deep into the second half. Green Bay races up and down the floor with a shorter average time of possession than Creighton. They chuck up a lot of shots and make enough to be scoring at an 87 point per game clip, hitting 100 3 times and 90 two more times out of their 9 games. Creighton hasn't exactly been stellar on defense so far, being Mac's worst defensive team to this point in the season (and that's saying something considering the defense of some of our teams since joining the BE). But word on the street is that practice this week has focused on defense, toughness and getting after the ball. We will see if getting embarrassed by Nebraska has lit a fire under these guys.

Green Bay has had 2 non d1 games scoring 110 and 112 points- that really skew their scoring stats. In their other 8 games(they're 4-4 in those 8), they "only" score 81 ppg... With the only time over 87 points a 100 point game with Belmont- in a perfect matchup of 2 of the fastest 10 teams in the country.

If the game was close - free throw shooting may be key
Green Bay #333 in the country 61.3%
Creighton #275 in the country 65.7%

Trying to follow the Creighton game on Twitter using the #gojays hashtag, and WOW the way Creighton fans post is extremely different from SJU fans.

80% of the #gojays posts are people taking selfies at the game. For #sjubb, it's pretty rare to see people do that. Maybe like 2-3% of posts, mostly it's 100% about the game/players/etc.

I get it, NYC vs Omaha. Just surprised how a lot of people there see it as a night out (which must be why the attendance is so high). I mean personally I love basketball and would rather be at MSG for a Johnnies game than nearly anywhere else, but most New Yorkers obviously don't share that viewpoint.

They put you on the video board if you send in a picture with that hashtag. Gets the tweets flying.

Ah thank you, that makes a lot more sense. Just seemed like an unusually high number of selfies. Actually a great idea, more teams should do it.

That’s a funny way to folllw a game. But yes, use #gojays and you’re on the big screen. The HolyLand mob should take over the hashtag and post selfies from afar some night during a Jays game. That would crack me up,

BTW Creighton won.

Yeah, I wasn't near a TV and the ESPN tracker was very delayed. Score updated like 10 points at a time after 3 minute stretches lol. Went from like 70-63 to 74-70 and didn't list any stats or play by play.

Weird how SJU always have their games tracked 100%, but a lot of times I see the Midwestern teams (especially Butler/Creighton) not tracked.

And yes that'd be funny. Could probably come up with some creative ways to do the tag lol.

Anyways, good night for the Big East. Two 10+ point wins is all you can ask for.
