00:02 >> A good one in downtown Omaha, Creighton, a top 10 team hosting Iowa.
00:08 Points expected tonight, the total 162.5 with the Blue Jays and 11.5 point favor.
00:16 John, what do you hope to learn out of this early season matchup between the Jays and
00:20 the Hawkeyes?
00:20 >> Well, I think if you like offense, this is gonna be the game where you really
00:25 gotta get your appetite filled.
00:27 Because Creighton is coming into the game averaging 97 points a game.
00:31 Iowa's coming into the game averaging 104 points a game.
00:35 Something has gotta give here tonight.
00:37 And this is again a Creighton team who as a team through two games
00:42 has made 33 point shots.
00:45 Iowa's made 21.
00:45 And the biggest thing I will say is this.
00:48 You never want to obviously short change anybody.
00:50 But obviously there were some defections from Creighton through the transfer portal,
00:55 through the offseason.
00:56 But all of a sudden now that this team does not have Arthur Columa at
01:00 power forward and it's playing a face up option at the four with either Mason Miller
01:05 or Virginia transfer Isaac Trout.
01:07 The ball hums at an incredible level for Creighton on offense.
01:12 I don't wanna say it's the same type of feel, but I will say this.
01:16 When you watch Creighton on offense, and
01:18 Creighton does not have a player the caliber of Doug McDermott.
01:22 But you get the vibes of the team that had Doug McDermott and
01:26 Ethan Rogge on its team in 2013, 14.
01:30 That Jays team are the three seed in the NCAA tournament.
01:33 And remember this, this is something really impressive, Ben.
01:37 Every single player in Creighton's rotation through the first two games of
01:41 the year has attempted a three.
01:44 So everybody is at least a threat to shoot.
01:46 If you love beautiful things in life, you'll love Creighton's offense.
