Women’s Basketball – Both the women and the men’s teams are in the midst of finding themselves.  The women’s team is currently 10-8 / 4-3 in conference.  The team faces Butler today at home on FS1, and are looking to sweep Butler on the season.

As for the guys… they fell to @St Johns last Wedsnesday evening, to go 10-8 /1-4 in conference.  Jays have lost 4 straight after opening with a win @Providence.  Up next is @Georgetown on Monday evening.  Jays have been in lead at halftime or in the contest in most of the games.  Becoming overly reliant on the 3, abandoning the inside game.  And are not finishing well also.

Live by the 3, die by the 3:  http://www.sloansportsconference.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/Live%20by%20the%20Three,%20Die%20by%20the%20Three%20The%20Price%20of%20Risk%20in%20the%20NBA.pdf

 

Recruiting – Rumor had it there might be a commit over the semester break.  The staff has been on lockdown since the FBI trial and allegations against CU.  No leaks of any sort.  Phenomenal.  As it turns out – classes began last Wednesday – and no commit of any sort.  So much for rumors.  Have to assume the Jays are still working on Wing Gerald Drumgoole and PF Tristan Enaruna.  No new names for 2019, although some of the staff are following a couple of Jucos.  Nothing on any 2020 kids either.

 

News –  New alternate uni was announced this week and will debut Monday vs @Georgetown.  New “baby blue” alternate uni which harkens back to the 70s and 80s.  A welcome addition and about time.

 

 

The annual Creighton vs Cancer Pinkout game is next Friday, 25Jan19 versus Butler.   The auction is currently underway.

Go Jays!

Happy New Year Folks!

Happy New Year to everyone!  Starting things off right…The Conference, on the road. New Year’s Eve at the Dunk…an ongoing new tradition.  And seeing Providence (evidently our league nemesis) and trying to put a W into the talley (8-15 overall, 3-7 since joining the league) and attempt to put a bit of “rival” into the rivalry.

To their credit the Friars and Ed are great hosts for the party, just on bit stingy on the game. Should be a great tilt. Prov has been off 10 days and hopefully a bit rusty, but more than enough time to prepare for the Jays. My line is that the Jays are “on” tonight and no amount of prep will help. Go Jays!

Happy 2019 folks! May this year be your most prosperous one to date!

 

Jays take to the road for their 1st 2 games of the new year.  At Providence, then at Butler, before 2 (Marquette and Villanova) at home.  Should be a great opening gambit to lead off the Bie East season.

All the Best to you and yours in 2019.  For those of U in uniform…Keep the Faith, baby!

Shoutout to everyone in Hong Kong, SRoK, especially Kunsan, Bahrain, and the PI.  “When in doubt(s); Be Bold!”
