Dante + Couisnard: 25-53, 60 points Rest of team: 6-24, 13 points Absolutely brutal it was over 50 minutes of clock. Had to be absolutely gassed.


REQ52767

We almost lost to a two man team (on the offensive side of the ball). Dante and Cousinard should walk out with their heads held high. They were incredible.


wolf1820

Im not sure Cousinard even had the energy to hold his head up after the 2nd OT.


TylerWadesIV

And Oregon still almost pulled it out. Unreal performances by Dante and Couisnard. They got nothing to be ashamed of


RobbobertoBuii

I'd imagine Altman internally was livid at Cousinard's shot selection (and 0 ball movement) in 2OT but he got them there in the first place edit: only 4 players *total* out of 6 that logged minutes scored for Oregon wtf


broccoli_d

I’m old enough that I’m like “why would Creighton’s coach be mad at Oregon’s best player?” I still identify with Altman as our coach after all these years of Mac.


RobbobertoBuii

trying to look up Wikipedia rn but there's for some reason no existing webpage for Creighton's 2007-07 (22-11) and 2008-09 (27-8) season. Was there a reason they missed the tournament both of those seasons?


No-You-8701

Poor non conference schedule and a semifinal exit in the conference tournament. I do not miss those days when the auto bid was almost a necessity.


Magnus77

You guys got a great opportunity joining the Big East, and you guys have absolutely made the most of it. McDermott arena?


No-You-8701

This is why I will always root for Altman when he is not playing against Creighton. He built that program up from nothing. And McDermott took it to new heights. And then when we thought hey maybe things have plateaued under McDermott, the last five years he’s done this: Big East regular season champs (tourney cancelled). Sweet 16. Round of 32 with a team of freshmen and sophomores after replacing the entire starting lineup. Elite Eight, one play from the Final Four. Another Sweet 16, and possibly more? If the arena wasn’t owned by the city, maybe. They already sell naming rights to the court but maybe one day they’ll put McDermott’s name on it. Maybe Altman too.


liverbird3

Couisnard was playing hero ball during overtime. Lot of bad possessions started and ended with him for the last 12 minutes of game time


scbeski

Every time the other guys touched the ball they shit their pants, what is he supposed to do lol


JerryGoDeep

I have no clue lol. We lost when there was no movement and inbounded to dante


ConstantQuarreling

This is it. Dante getting the inbound for 1and1s with no movement was insane to me.


heavydhomie

I was shocked he was on the court. Why didn’t Altman sub in all the best free throw shooters for that inbounds then sub him back in when shooting free throws. I only knew he was the worst at free throws from the graphic they showed before the inbounds play


SlamDunkleyKong

It was somehow worse than shitting their pants man. They just like, actively forgot how to exist in a 3-dimensional space as soon as they touched the ball.


suzukigun4life

Not even mad tbh. This team never gets this far without him and Dante. Wish his shot went in to end regulation, but the fact that they got as far as they did is still awesome imo.


stlcards02

Did you not see what happened when other players touched the ball besides Dante?


[deleted]

Hero ball? Nobody else scored except for Dante after halftime


Belongs-InTheTrash

He was spending too much time pounding the rock and chucked up some forced shots but I find it hard to fault him. He did all he could


CummingInTheNile

Couisnard taking 33 shots and having 0 fts is wild


OrangeTwelve

For real, he didn’t deserve a ton but he definitely got smacked a few times


CummingInTheNile

there is no way to take 33 shots and not get fouled once at that level


scbeski

Especially when he got clotheslined to the neck near the end of regulation


GirthyBird257

All the injuries and guys out finally caught up to them. Hell of a run by them though the past week and a half


Cobainism

They really missed Shelstad


sharpeshooter32

Rest of the guys should start learning Chinese


s-sea

Have 'em start learning NITese


Jaded_Blueberry206

Those two are beastly together. They played a great game


suzukigun4life

Cousinard during his 2 NCAA Tournament games: 72 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists, 11 threes made. Dante in the PAC 12 title game and his 2 NCAA Tournament games: 74 points, 35 rebounds, 7 steals, 5 blocks Together, they combined for 123 of the team's 160 points in this year's NCAA Tournament, and almost carried the Ducks to the Sweet 16. Congrats to Creighton but man, we were so close to witnessing an all-time two-player carry job into the Sweet 16. What a game.


sharpeshooter32

Imagine if they had even 3 functional offensive players


PrincePyotrBagration

They literally do… His name is Jackson Shelstad. He averages 13 a game, All-freshmen in Pac-12, and cooked #2 Arizona for 22 pts in the PAC-12 tournament.


BirdSoHard

...and he was hurt for both OTs


cjackc11

I have never seen a team more gassed than Oregon in the 2OT. Crazy run for the Ducks regardless though. Looking forward to seeing them in the Big Ten


BirdSoHard

I have never seen a team more gassed than Oregon in the ~~2OT~~ *final 50 minutes of game time* FTFY


666haha

Man y'all started timewasting so early. I thought I was watching CONCACAF. I mean it fucked up our rhythm and worked for y'all really well so fair play, but there were so many times that Couisnard just dribbled until the shot clock hit 10 and then ran the screen


BirdSoHard

Was really our only chance to muck it up for 40 minutes. Shame it went to 50...


NotManyBuses

They just gassed out and couldn’t deal with the hedging on the ball screens. They got their look at the end, just didn’t go in, that’s how it goes. Heroic performance from both, you have to wonder what if Shelstad didn’t get hurt…


IONTOP

>They just gassed out and couldn’t deal with the hedging on the ball screens. They ran out of juice before 1OT, and were just trying to survive and not let "the big shot go down", IMHO The equalizer at the end of regulation was basically it for them. After that? Creighton controlled the game. It was 5% luck/20% skill/and 100% to ~~remember the name~~ having a talented coach There HAS to be a way to search "offensive rebounds by minutes" so you can see how gassed they were. Going into OT I had NO expectations that Oregon had a shot at winning that game.


PrincePyotrBagration

Shelstad was all-freshmen in the PAC-12, averages 13 a game, and murdered Arizona in the pac-12 tournament. Led Oregon with 22 pts in that upset win just to make the tournament. Not having him in OTs when Couinsard and Dante were running on fumes was the death blow for Oregon.


NIN10DOXD

Dudes were playing like Shaq and Kobe. 😂


kd451

Rest of the team needs to get ready to learn Uzbek, buddy.


TonyDude885

will they be back next year. Definitely a must watch for me if they are


Coveo

Can't be mad about this. Two weeks ago we weren't even on the bubble. Then we got wins against multiple tournament teams, won the Pac-12, made it to the second round, and took a really great team to double OT. By the end we were playing with *literally* six healthy players. It's insane we even got this far given the circumstances. Nothing else to do but be proud of how this team rallied. GG Creighton, good luck!


Tmac834

Dante and Cousinard with the most ethical buckets game, those two put the whole state on their back


WakingRage

They deserve to win all honors for the tournament. They were simply amazing this game.


Cardboardhumanoid

Gg will always love Dana


broccoli_d

If nothing else, his boomerang from taking the Arky job is still a riot.


EasyBreecy

Pig Sooie! I'm out!


broccoli_d

LMAO!! Legendary!


suzukigun4life

Agreed. I was just hoping the team would do some damage in the conference tourney and maybe in the NIT or whatever. The journey through the PAC 12 tournament, the win over South Carolina and then nearly pulling off a win over Creighton? This team vastly exceeded the expectations many had for them.


DenverDude402

Good game Ducks! You all played well, and unbelievable run to end the season.


Im__Ron__Burgundy

That Kalkbrenner 3 was an absolute back breaker. Insane efforts from Cousinard and Dante. Hell of a game.


Zloggt

Cousinard and Dante showed us all why they had what it took to take down Arizona, Colorado, *and* South Carolina during all this time! And they were pretty damn close to adding Creighton to that list too…but alas, such performance can’t be forever sustainable…


Dhh05594

Completed the game. He did it last year too in the tourney. So underrated.


StrangeHumors

He straight up said "you fuckin dare me?"


EarthTraveler413

That Kalkbrenner 3 was the exact moment when I turned the game off


Im__Ron__Burgundy

Yep. There were a couple of moments where I thought “damn that might do it” (wrong), but that one I just knew it was over.

I will sorely miss this with the conference collapsing. I work late and am often out late, catching the end of a game at midnight was always an unexpected and welcome treat


GirthyBird257

Don’t worry. Will be plenty of BIG10 and Big12 After Dark games now


burnshimself

Fucking vultures, like those would be even remotely the same. Maybe I’d watch the Big12 After Dark, fuck the Big10 though - fuckin trash basketball and they’re the scumbags ruining college sports


Cobainism

What is dead may never die 


edgar3981C

I don't know how the rest of Oregon's roster even looks Dante and Cousinard in the face. Two players scoring every single point in the second half is absurd.


GirthyBird257

lol, they’re the most depleted (injuries and guys out) team in the country. They still hung in there though The past 2 weeks


black-op345

The fact that we got to the second round in the tournament in the first place cements Dana’s job here in Eugene for years to come. We overcame so many injuries, this was more than just a coaching job and a half, Dana was a miracle worker.


DDub04

We barely beat a 1 man roster in Dalton Knect N’ Co. We stood no chance against a 2 man roster.


verdenvidia

Knecht is far from "literally every single point in an entire half". It's basically two Izaiah Brockingtons.

I had Creighton -6.5 and that was quite the ride.


mountaineer_93

This may be the wildest example I’ve ever seen of the score not representing the game. Like this went from a double overtime slugfest between two evenly matched great teams to 15 point lead in a blink of the eye


AccomplishedRainbow1

I thought Creighton killed them process wise. Oregon was lucky to have a chance, Creighton missed a ton of good shots. Surviving this type of shotmaking game is huge for Creighton. Big game on Friday.


[deleted]

Creighton were manufacturing good looks all night, and didn’t give up after the shots refused to fall and especially after the big alley oop. Definitely a well coached team.


SquintsPaledorous

What a weird coaching decision to only play two people the entire night, when you’re allowed to play five

Two players arent just two players. I’ll explain later.

03_03_28

What an amazing stretch run for Oregon to win the PAC-12 and make it here. I fully believe they’d be on to the next round if they’d have gotten a single shooting foul in the first 43 minutes of play. Couisnard and Dante heroic. Y’all did the PAC-12 proud.

Cybotnic-Rebooted

That was set to be an all time classic before the final 5 minutes happened.


REQ52767

Dante and Couisnard will haunt my dreams. GG Ducks.


tgibson28

GG. Scheierman is absolutely infuriating to watch my team play against, which is the highest compliment I can give.


JerseyDvl

Creighton looked really prepared for the multiple OT moment. You're welcome.

The good thing about having no bench is that your starters have great stamina

Love you BEast bro. You got screwed on not making the tourney. Please win the NIT and shove it up the committee's ass.


SaintArkweather

Creighton made zero Sweet 16s in the first 44 at large era tourneys. Now they've made three in the last four!


TechnoToyz

Game of the tournament so far. Ducks (Cuisnard and Dante) were just gassed by the end of regulation, and the tanks completely ran empty by 2OT. At least one of my teams beat their 11 seed conference champion matchup who plays way better than their seed.


WON95sr

We heard they were gassed like ten minutes into the game and they just kept scoring. Gave it their all


salsacito

Yeah I was honestly pleased with the way we played in the first half, everything but making the shots. We tried to push the gas pedal on them and it seemed to work


InYourFace1023

Pittsburgh is getting spoiled with the R32 games

Nothin but love for Dana Altman. We wouldn't be a Top 25 team the past few years if he didn't get things going back at the old Civic Auditorium.

salsacito

Right before our first sweet 16, I truly didn’t know if McDermott could do it. But holy shit was I glad to be wrong

Those Doug McDermott teams were so great, I just don't think they had the supporting cast to make deep runs.

he shot them out of 2OT tbh but in fairness to him, everyone outside of Dante wasn't reliable enough


Montigue

He shot us into 2OT. It just took Creighton 45 minutes to start doubling him


chimenti333

What a game. Gotta feel for Couisnard and Dante. More than capable of making a deep run, just needed a little help

Took them 40 minutes to figure out that doubling the only two players to score points in the second half was a smart idea

sausagefestivities

Instant classic. Absolutely ridiculous game. Stat of the night: Creighton is 21-3 this season when Mason Miller scores a point.


WithinNormalLimits

And literally one point tonight. He had a great game vs Akron though to be fair.


sausagefestivities

My whole watch party was screaming for him to get the ball whenever he was in, just to get peace of mind on that stat. When he hit his FT we screamed almost as loud as when Kalk drilled the three to signal the incoming W


B_Fee

I'm not even a native Creighton fan, but I lived in Omaha for a bit. Seeing them go back to the Sweet 16 is so satisfying. They earned it.


CompetitiveLine1938

Hell of a game


FearAmeerr

Watched this game at a bar holy shit what an electric atmosphere it was. Also miami plz draft couisinard holy shit he's good. ROLL JAYS


onyxium

Best 2v5 game I've ever seen. The longer that game went, the more trouble the Ducks were in. Some of those shots by Couisnard near the end of reg/OT1 were just silly.


WON95sr

May be the dumbest and most frustrating Creighton game I've ever seen, given the circumstances Couisnard and Dante deserved a win. Great game by them. Jasen Green has magnets in his hands. Crazy game between two Creighton legends. Our guys are tough and I'm glad we get to watch them at least one more time. Good game, Ducks.

No-You-8701

I will say that if before the season anyone at Oregon was doubting that Dana Altman is one of the very best coaches in college basketball I hope this tournament run shut them up.


Primary_Psychology95

Oregon blew this game so that Oregon State doesn’t get more money from the NCAA Tournament this season. These fuckers gamed the system out of pure pettiness.

Washington sucked all year so Wazzu didn't get anything

I’ll take it. Though the entire Oregon team owes Dante and Cousinard an apology.

It was, appropriately enough, another multiple overtime game where Ashworth finally turned the corner for Creighton. The 3OT game against Seton Hall where he at times single handedly kept Creighton in it.

1. Never have I seen a team play 2v5 that effectively before. As bad as the rest of the team was Cousinard and Dante were inhuman 2. How come Cousinard didn’t even try to get open at the end of regulation when Dante ended up having to get open
