Penders had the name Runnin' Rams on all the warmups...he wanted to make you dizzy with the number of points...not quite Loyola Marymount, but the kids bought into that big time!

If it were my team, I would have preferred not to court storm. Creighton is a Top 15 team, spread was close, game was a blowout, and Creighton sees itself as a Final Four contender.

What I never understood about the collective, is if you like a player, wouldn't it be better to just pay them $50 a month directly? So you give to a collective and they decide? Seems backwards. Why give money to a group when you can pay the player you like directly?
