Agreed. Seems like a no-brainer.

I don’t mean to rag on the kid, who seems to be putting in the effort at least, but Quinn seems like Saint Thomas redux… things clearly not working, but Drew keeps sending him out there for big minutes. I hope things end up better in this case, but there’s gotta be a better option for his playing time. The last three games, he’s come in and then we’ve had leads just evaporate.

And if we are keeping a tight rotation, then Dolan & Dame are first off bench. Welch getting some minutes too. Biggest issue we have us guard play. Lotta bodies, not a lotta playable talent.

First 10 minutes of the second half aside, the Ramblers looked pretty good.

Miles has scary potential.

Looking at the stat sheet, besides Creighton’s 3Pt shooting (obviously) what stood out most to me is the 11 assists to 10 turnovers ratio. Can’t win a lot of games without a better ratio.

JQ with 3 TOs, 4 fouls, and 0 assists is a tough look. Wonder how well Dawson can handle the ball

Early Moser-era guard performance.

I thought we played a solid game in the first half. Rubin was a difference maker.
I think it takes time to incorporate so many new guys while trying to keep everyone happy.
Creighton was lights out on threes in the first half.
This was a learning exercise and would much rather play a high quality team instead of a Goshen or Chicago State but everyone needs have some cupcakes.
The only low point to me was McDermott showing zero class
scumbag is about the best I can say.
Finally pulled his starters with 2:37 to go.
what a turd. Schereshit showed no class everytime he hit a three he danced around like he needed to take a leak.
Karma will catch up with him during the season.
Decent Loyola contingent today especially taking into account this is the Thanksgiving holiday.
Boston College tomorrow. Lets see if we can bounce back..

JQ needs a reset. Having him and Braden on the court together is a recipe for disaster. Dawson seems like the only young guard ready for this level of competition. His defense was stellar and the shots will fall. Agree with everyone above projected starting 5. Who else can handle the ball? Jack Turner coming in next year but he looks like another undersized guard.

Does Rubin possibly enter the portal?
