Can't wait to see Creighton's pg tandem of Chatman & Brooks go at Jahii Carson. Marquette couldn't match up with him but I don't think CU will have same problem.

I don't think anybody can match up with Carson; he's that good. Marquette got him into early foul trouble. I hope we can do something like that too, but last year he dropped 30 on us.

I will certainly concede that Marquette is better defensive team than Creighton. We'd rather turn this game into a shoot out rather than a grind it out affair. Makes for an entertaining game to watch, but perhaps not the most appealing to defensive purists.

Last year you didn't have Brooks. Anybody who's seen my post know that I think he changes the dynamic for CU when he's out there. Last game it wasn't needed b/c Chatman played one of the best games I've seen a pg play so far this year. Also if MU's backcourt could score against ASU I think Brooks can too.

In order to beat Arizona State, we are gonna have to outscore them which means we need to be hitting 3's. Carson is going to get his.

BE should go 4-1 at the minimum.

Xavier vs. Iowa is going to be a tough game to win.

Iowa's Kenpom profile is very impressive. Hopefully Xavier can pull off the upset. The rest of the games I think we should be favored.

Well, I hate to be the one to break it to you, but Brooks is a worse defender than Chatman. Much worse.

Don't get me wrong, I love what he brings the team offensively. But your statement that we'll be able to defend Carson better this year because of Brooks just doesn't mesh with reality very well.

Wow you totally missed my point....I said when Brooks & Chapman go at Carson, meaning they attack him on offense...not when they stop Carson on defense. For some reason I'm guessing some BlueJay fans don't like the East Coaster Brooks, hope I'm wrong.

You are very wrong. I'd say that Brooks has made a splash with the fanbase. He certainly brings us a component that we were lacking before.

Glad to hear that. I just keep noticing he's the only person posters here criticize about defense, even though CU isn't a defensive team and given the fact this is his first year with the team. Never hear any posters here talk about Dougie Fresh's D. Either way you still missed my original point though.

Iowa's weak schedule may bite them in this one, but this is a very talented young team. I'm hoping the X-men have the grit to beat them.

you always wonder how a team fares when they play a tough team for the first time- or first time in a while.
