I know there’s a lot of talk about the new normal in college basketball.
Teams losing on the road is for sure normal.
It happens a lot.
But this was an actual upset.
1 team in the country.
Don’t get me wrong this is was a dominant win too:
And you know what?
I’m glad they stormed the court.
Beating the number 1 team in the country should mean something.
I said it last year or two years ago that losing as the No.
1 team in the country felt like nothing in the grand scheme of things.
It hardly leads the sports news unless it’s late in February or March.
I miss when No.
1 teams losing would be all over the place.
So, you know what, good.
Make this mean something.
Also credit to college basketball for the schedule.
We went from Feast Week to this challenge week.
The last two days have been awesome for college basketball - outside of 1 game.
But we’re getting matchups that have people talking and watching the sport earlier than normal.
That’s good for the sport.
The sport is good this year.
Trust me if you haven’t watched yet, it’s awesome.
But the point stands.
As for this game specifically?
You saw Creighton do the thing where they made a ton of threes.
Pop Isaacs was awesome.
The offense needs help.
I know Griffin was out, but Adams and Harris just let teams sit in the paint.
You need someone consistent to shoot the ball outside of Zeke Mayo.
Nothing surprising here, but Kalkbrenner also just destroyed Dickinson.
Either way, one hell of a quote by McDermott.
