everybody figure figured gotten knows league learned nice six win won
We have done a lot of nice things here in our first six years. We have gotten better every year. We have won a lot of league games. We learned how to win on the road. We've won a league championship. Now we need to figure out how to play well in St. Louis. Creighton has figured that out. That's why everybody knows who Creighton is.
defense example free game missouri offensive shooting state throw whether won
We won the Evansville game differently than we won the Missouri State game, for example. Whether it's rebounding or free throw shooting or defense or offensive execution, it's been something different each game for us.

You look at the stats and you'll wonder how we were even in the game. They're just really smart defensively.

It's not a hump, it's a mountain. My AD knows. My fans know where we were when I took this job. My first year, we lost 11 in a row and I didn't know if we were ever going to win a game. My third year we were 3-3, and I wasn't sure I would keep my job. We lost at home to Kansas State and ever since then it has been a tremendous run to get where we are today. We accomplished something we haven't in 23 years, we won a championship.
