"I wouldn't want anyone else," Creighton guard Antoine Young said. "We owe them. I don't think Creighton likes Wichita very much, although I respect Wichita a lot."

"The way Wichita enters the tournament, they're playing as well as anyone in the conference, and maybe as well as anyone in the country," McDermott said. "Someone is going to have to slow that train down."

They sure seem infatuated with the shox. They should probably focus on winning their first two games. I wouldn't want my team looking that far ahead if i were a bj coach, especially if we had struggled to win our last three games.

It's their Super Bowl. I'm sure CUSA teams get fired up to play Memphis.

And we can't look too far past ISU Blue, either. If we owe anyone, it's them from last season. They played us closer than anyone in Valley play for 40 minutes in both contests this year and I want nothing more than to beat those scrappy punks by 30 this afternoon.

They deserve a beat down.

But there's no rivalry between WSU and Creighton...

Which is why we should ignore them.... let the team do the talking...

Reasonably.. you know full well that a reporter specifically asked them a question about WSU, so they specifically gave an answer about WSU.


I mean.. the article does say: "We have to take this one day at a time," Creighton coach Greg McDermott said.

I dont see Creighton getting to the Championship game

WSU needs CU to make it to the Finals. CU's RPI is 25 right now. 2 wins and a loss for them would probably leave them in the top 25. If CU makes it to Sunday, that probably gives WSU 2 top-25 rpi wins in both the polls and rpi. If CU doesn't make it to Sunday, WSU has no top-25 wins.

Agreed. If you watch those interviews, wsu was one of the main things the reporters asked about. And I think it's reasonable for them to talk about a team they would like to play of they can get there. I'm sure they are taking it one day at a time just like we have to. Its not like there is some taboo saying who you'd like to end up playing. I'm sure Missouri would like a rematch with KU if they can get it. And at least it's nice to see young say he respects us...that's a good thing

Okay folks, I have deleted any posts in this thread about Mrs McDermott. Golden rule, if another board were making similar comments about Mrs Marshall.

[DUShock]
