More on the Creighton Game

Just a quick wrap up on the Creighton game. I'm really proud of our guys, in fact. As Coach Orr said after the game, it wasn't a winning result but it was a winning effort. The fact we went into their place and had two chances to win in the last minute is a true tribute to our team and their ability to "know how to win." Creighton might very well have been the best team we played all year, and we gave them all they could handle in a true road game.

In the chart below, you can even see that we absorbed one second half run, but couldn't absorb two.

As you can see here, we played them pretty even in every area except free throws and handled rebounding really well against a team that is very good on the boards....

Our Seniors really went out in style. Nate Miller had 22 points, and Daryl Clements had 19 points and 8 rebounds. Moten chipped in 12 points as well.

We end at 19-14, our first winning season since Reimold and Almanson left, and of course won the regular season championship. It was a very good year to be a Falcon fan. No, we didn't get into the Big Dance, and our frustrations on that front continue.

I do have big hopes, though, that Coach Orr is the man who can take us there, given time. We are on the right track.

Thanks to everyone, from the coaches to the players, for the many hours of hard work it took to make this happen. Following your play this year was a gift to all of us, and I was privileged to watch.
