I had a friend who is a huge Missouri fan. He was constantly posting shit online in 2012 about how overrated Kansas was and how Missouri had a great path to the FF.
I gave him a bunch of shit about Mizzou breaking out the confetti canon for just getting a 2 seed. I told him they were celebrating too early. This dude ranted and ranted about how great their team was. It was really over the top.
After the Norfolk game, he had a pretty simple post. “I probably deserved that.” [Reply]

Creighton is, of course, a serious threat. They are an elite defensive team (16th in adjusted defensive efficiency in the country). They hold teams to only 43.7% shooting from 2PT range (9th in country). They also give up just the 4th amount of FTs per FG in the country, so they effectively don't foul at all while defending very tightly.
Creighton also have long switchable wing type players all over the court (Hawkins, Kaluma, O'Connell) who are all over 6'6 and will make it difficult to get open shots and get good matchups in the half court.
The question will be whether Ryan Kalkbrenner (who is certainly their best defender, think Jeff Withey type) can play on Saturday. His knee injury did not look pretty. If he can't, Keyshawn Feazell, a senior and solid two-way big, will play much more than anticipated. In all likelihood, though, they will just go much smaller than they usually do which will force its own set of defensive problems for KU. One of KU's biggest issues this year has been when teams play five out and force McCormack to guard the perimeter (usually eventually taking him out of the game entirely). That may be what KU faces in this one.
Better be ready.
Creighton sucks. My high school basketball coach is on their staff. We will roll them.
If Jacksonville State miraculously can beat Auburn Im guaranteeing a Final Four. [Reply]
