Sorry bossman but my Salukis did what they had to do. Did you the the defensive gem put on against Korver?? By the way my fellow alum from Mt. Vernon Township High School class of 99' Kent Williams continues to shine in big games.

Awefulle, the Blue Jays have lost 2 of their last 5 before last night. Wichita State is 17-10. Sorry, but Creighton beating them isn't too impressive to me.

[awefullspellare]

no but they did it in a big way, on a big night.. they had lost to them previously... they played pretty well though once they found out they were not playin for the conference... i think they could go pretty far if Korver gets on a roll.

I hope the Salukis get an at large bid.... hope we see ya in the MVC Championship game for a 3rd match... see who wins on a NEUTRAL sight :)

House makes final home game a memorable one

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- Creighton's Larry House saved his best for his last game at the Civic Auditorium.


House scored a career-high 28 points in 22 minutes Monday night as the 19th-ranked Bluejays beat Wichita State 86-60.


House had his big night in front of his mother and stepfather, Joyce and Stephen Cooley, who traveled from Milwaukee for Creighton's Senior Night festivities.


"We need his mom and stepdad at all our games,'' Creighton coach Dana Altman said. "Heck, we would have moved them to Omaha if we knew he was going to play like that.''


Creighton (26-4, 15-3 Missouri Valley Conference) outscored the Shockers 26-8 in the first eight minutes of the second half to put the game away.


Paul Miller had 18 points and 10 rebounds to lead Wichita State (17-10, 12-6).


House, who shot 11-of-16 from the floor, scored his final points on a short jumper with 6:24 left. His legs got tangled in traffic after the basket, and he left with a twisted ankle.


He hobbled to the bench, to chants of "Lar-ry! Lar-ry!'' from the fans who showed up to honor House and fellow seniors Kyle Korver and DeAnthony Bowden.


"They love me,'' House said of the fans, "and I love them.''


The Bluejays finished 17-0 in their last season at Civic Auditorium. Next season they'll move nine blocks away to a new downtown arena that is under construction. This is the third time in the program's 85-year history that Creighton has gone unbeaten at home.


The Shockers committed 25 turnovers in the game, compared with 10 for Creighton, and shot just 32.1 percent.


"We weren't very good,'' Shockers coach Mark Turgeon said. "I'm not sure we could have beaten them if we were great. I'm not sure the Cleveland Cavaliers could have come in here and beat Creighton tonight the way they were playing. . . We had a lot of unforced turnovers and we were just playing scared.''


Both teams struggled at the start, however, with each missing nine of its first 10 shots. Kyle Korver, who had 13 points, barely struck iron with his first 3-point attempt, and he put up an airball on his second.


Korver made the third, though, and the Bluejays went on a 17-6 run to take a 21-10 lead.


Miller scored six straight points to pull the Shockers to 26-22 late in the first half. But Tyler McKinney hit a pull-up jumper from the free-throw line, Nate Funk made a short shot and Grimes made a bank shot underneath to help the Bluejays stretch the lead to 34-24 at halftime.


The Bluejays held Wichita State without a field goal for first four minutes of the second half. Jamar Howard's dunk ended the Shockers' dry spell, but by then Creighton was leading 41-27.


"We played with a lot of energy, and we flew around,'' Altman said. "We got a little juice back tonight, and hopefully we'll take that to the tournament.''


The Bluejays are seeded No. 2 behind regular-season champion Southern Illinois in this weekend's Missouri Valley Conference tournament in St. Louis.


Creighton started playing some of its home games at the 9,377-seat Civic Auditorium in 1955. The arena has been the Bluejays' permanent home since 1961. They finished 432-155 at the Civic, including 100-28 under Altman.

wow strong words from one of the top sports talk show hosts here.....

He says that if Larry HOuse played like he did last night all year, and he could do it anyngiht.... thye would be at this point..... 30-0!!!! Larry could play like that every night... they will need him to in the Tourney.. Larry could get 20 points or so everngiht but he has chosen to play a second role to Kyle...
