Playing at Creighton is intense...their crowd is amazing and they really get up when Nova comes to town. With all that as a preface, that first 6-8 minutes was an amazing display of maturity and poise in a very hostile, very fast-paced start to the game. Creighton was playing up on our guys, so we took it inside time after time after time. Outside shots weren't falling, and thank God Creighton couldn't make an outside shot either. That start could have been ugly but our guys really fought hard.
Ochefu and Hart were unreal in the first half. As BEEF said in another thread, that was both players' NBA mix tape. Slap a label on it and mail it in.
Without Brunson in the second half drilling 3's, finding Ochefu and juking 4 Creighton players on the way to a smooth layup, the game could have gotten real close real quick.
I am EXTREMELY happy to escape that arena with a win. Jay and Co. did an amazing job working around that insane foul situation in the first half and Creighton started to really get on their game in the second half but we kept punching right back.
This team is legit!
