The weekend’s Ugliest Game Award goes to yesterday’s battle between Creighton and Nebraska. Both teams shot under 30% from the field. Normally, you’d at least have the consolation of a close game in that circumstance, but Creighton won 70-44 in part due to 31 Nebraska turnovers, the most by a power conference team so far this season. Now for the better performances of the weekend…<\/p>\n
Friday<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n Keydren Clark is the guy you’ve heard of from St. Peter’s. He’s averaging 22.4 points a game (he posted 42 against Niagara yesterday), but he’s doing so on a yucky 42% in the eFG department. Sowell probably deserves to get the ball a little more. The best way he’s been able to get his hands on the rock is by leading his team in rebounds in each of the last seven games<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Saturday<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n I’ll just stick to the obvious here, although Brandon Heath’s 1 of 13 effort for San Diego State in a loss to Washington State would have provided a good platform to reiterate how overrated the Aztecs were this season. Honorable mention to Georgia Tech’s Jeremis Smith went for 22, 11, and 8 in 28 minutes against Tennessee State.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sunday<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n A Redick-like performance in a losing effort. If nothing else, this line offers the chance to demonstrate how unlikely it was for Loyola to start the season 5-0, with all of their wins against bona-fide Division I competition, mind you. Over the previous six seasons, the Greyhounds averaged 4.9 wins per season<\/i>. There’s actually life before lacrosse season for once.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The weekend’s Ugliest Game Award goes to yesterday’s battle between Creighton and Nebraska.
