Creighton coach Greg McDermott came away encouraged from Saturday's scrimmage against Colorado.Per NCAA rules, no scores and statistics were released and McDermott couldn't comment on any specifics from the scrimmage held at the CenturyLink Center.
Overall, he said he saw a "lot more positives than negatives."
"Defensively, we've made monumental strides since our trips to the Bahamas,'' he said. "Then again, we had nowhere else to go but up in that area, but I did like some of the things we did on the defensive end."
Creighton has revamped its defensive approach this season, hoping that its depth will allow it to play more aggressively on that end of the court. The Bluejays also want to play at a faster pace on offense.
"We're still turning the ball over too much, so that's a concern," McDermott said. "But we are getting more comfortable with the tempo that we want to play at offensively."
Creighton averaged 68.8 points per game last season to finish third in the Missouri Valley in scoring.
"We're still learning how to play at a quicker tempo," McDermott said. "You want guys to play fast, but you don't want them hurrying things. It's a fine line, and we're still learning."
Creighton will take Sunday off before returning to practice on Monday. The Bluejays will play an exhibition game against Division II Rockhurst next Sunday at 2:05 p.m. at the CenturyLink Center.
Creighton opens the regular season Nov. 11 against North Carolina A&T.
I'm discouraged, but glad we lost. The young guys especially needed to be informed about the realities of college ball.
How do you "lose" when you don't keep score and play is stopped every few minutes for coaching instruction and subs are moved in and out liberally to get everyone experience?? That's why the NCAA doesn't allow media coverage, its a friggin' scrimmage, not an exhibiton game!

Your obsession with temperature is confusing. We like our young guys, but have no idea what kind of team we are gonna be since the team is, outside of one player, completely unproven.Creighton fan here; interested in hearing how you all feel about your team this year. Obviously losing a talent like
Burks will be tough, but how do the younger guys look? We're excited about what the season might have in store for us since the last few have been below average. Just so you know...I wasn't at the scrimmage but I heard that Creighton fans enjoyed the 76 degree temperature that day. I also heard that it was 60 degrees in Colorado. Obviously we were excited about warm temp. and hope that our team continues to experience nice weather throughout the season...

I'm assuming you're joking about the temperature reference? If not, look at the two numbers in the context of the previous discussion on this thread. I'm not looking to overtly break any NCAA rules here. Good luck to you guys during your season.

I do not think Brown is a second rounder, and Dre has to improve a lot to keep up the nba draft talks.
Doug McDermott (no surprise) was the really good in Iowa State's scrimmage against Colorado. Andre Roberson stood out for the Buffs.
My bad on last tweet. LOL. Meant Doug McDermott was really good for Creighton in scrimmage against Colorado.
While it is not surprising that there was a 16 degree temperature difference between Omaha and Boulder, I think most of us were hoping that it would be a little warmer in Boulder, or a little cooler in Omaha. We, too, are looking forward to a lot of warm weather in Boulder this season.Creighton fan here; interested in hearing how you all feel about your team this year. Obviously losing a talent like

Was there a previously not seen warm front that moved through Boulder?

Yes it seems as if there was a heat wave that came through boulder and a bit cooler in omaha.
