Next Up: Creighton

Re: Next Up: Creighton

What a great win for the Cats. They have a lot of confidence right now, especially after 2 straight HUGE wins at Omaha. They now are in unchartered territory for these kids with having a chance at setting a school record with a win against Evansville. I don't see this game as a let down either! Keep up Panthers!!!

Re: Next Up: Creighton

wheather sportstalkmatt is Matt Perrault or Danny O'Byrne is still up in the air. sportstalkmatt twitter page bio acknowledges that he works at KXNO

"# Bio Sports talk show host - from Andover, Mass - working in Des Moines on KXNO. Publisher of the Creighton Rivals site: TheBluejaycafe.com - Go Boston!""

I think it's possible Danny O'Byrne and Matt Perrault are the same person.

Also, Jake Koch playing 15 minutes and having no points isn't good. He will do better down the road.

he did play some excellent defense that was brought up by coach jake in postgame....but its not like j. koch score a lot anyway, his career high is 3 points

Re: Next Up: Creighton

This. Perault is and should be held responsible for whatever was said under "his" name.

I encourage those of you upset about this to contact KXNO and make your concerns known.

It didn't bother me, but it might bother the Koch family or Coach Jake.

Can someone confirm the connection between these two guys? I can't find anything about O'Byrne being with KXNO. Does Perrault also work with the CU Rivals site?

Re: Next Up: Creighton

perrault runs their rivals site IIRC

he also spends three hours daily on DSM radio making himself sound like an idiot trying to get iowa and UNI fans riled up.

Perrault runs the CU Rivals site and used to run the old bluejaycafe. He was somewhat obnoxious before, but since he lost his regular radio gig in Omaha and became a refugee to DSM and got the cafe onto the rivals network, he has been unbelievably arrogant in running the website.

Re: Next Up: Creighton

Either way PANTHERS WIN, Creighton Blow Jays lose! We all know Koch is not a baby or a douche, he's a pretty intelligent young man. Good student and good student athlete. In other words, haters gonna hate, winners gonna win and that remained true in Omaha last night.

"They were the more physical team on the floor last night and it pains me to say it."
-Greg McDermott after UNI wins at ISU

"We weren’t hitting shots, and they were popping us and getting those rebounds. They were just being the more physical team in the first half, and ultimately late in the game.”
-Creighton forward Wayne Runnels said after UNI wins at Creighton

Anyone else notice a trend?

We're pretty weak huh? Pure luck

Re: Next Up: Creighton

Whoever said that about Koch is one question, I'm more wondering why anyone would even say that about either Adam or Jake. We have some players on the team that I can see how other teams fan bases may not like, but the Koch brothers? Adam reminds me of Stout in the way he always seems very calm and even tempered on the floor. I'm confused by the statement.

I think Creighton fans are having a meltdown because of how their season is going down the drain, and there isn't any rational thought being given to what they say or who they say it about.

Creighton fans should be upset with Dana Altman because it isn't as if this was a rebuilding season.

If your a Creighton fan you probably look at how much more money Creighton has to spend when they basically draw 15K a game, and last night it was more, have probably what are decent sized booster contributions, and spends on basketball more than every or almost every other MVC team, and yet your program isn't really any better at this point than a poorer school like UNI. I guess UNI is the Minnesota Twins of the MVC.

Your quote about UNI and the Twins is very accurate. I told a friend of mine this last night at the game. They hustle and play the game the way its suppose to be. They hustle by Moran after a missed shot when he dove out of bounds and the ball went of a Creighton player. Its the way the game is suppose to be played.

Then you see Creighton. After P'Allen made his only 3 he kept his arm in the air so all 17,000 could tell it was him that made the shot. Right after he is called for a foul and sits on the floor and pouts. Its a good thing he's on CU's roster and not UNI's.

Re: Next Up: Creighton

I was at the game. The Qwest center is huge, and there was a lot of people at the game, but I'd say only 50% of them actually cared about what as going on. Everyone was just there for the beer. It never got very loud either. Its an awesome building, but not a great one for college bball IMO.

Awesome way to start the MVC season with a good win on the road like this. The fact that KA shot so horrific, and Koch wasn't able to get going and we were still able to win by 8 points, is VERY impressive.

Our defense last night was awesome. We really dominated that aspect, along with getting seemingly every rebound. I though O'Rear played some fantastic D last night, and really controlled the post.

Play of the game: Johnny diving on a full sprint for that rebound at the end of the game. Awesome awesome hustle play.

If your opinion was that the Qwest was not a good venue then I will have to disagree. Last night was my first night at the Qwest Center and all I can say is WOW. Not to mention, it is a WOW in the Missouri Valley. There are maybe 20 venues like that in all of college basketball. That doesn't include the classics like Allen, or Assembly Hall, etc... But as far as arenas go and crowd size over a winter break when your team is below .500, WOW. You won't find a match anywhere across the country. Not to mention, UNI owned the entire game. It wasn't going to get loud. It did get kind of loud late in the second when they pulled within 4 but that went away quick with JE's two free throws. Wow, I am still picking my jaw up off the floor.

If only Iowa would free up some of it's liquor laws we could get some decent microbrews around here...
