  • Season 2, Episode 31: SHU/Nova in Another Thriller, Creighton Loses to an Unranked Opponent... again
    It's been a slow last few days in the Big East with only three games played and two that were postponed due to COVID. However, the big game of this week's slate delivered Tuesday on the Main Line as Seton Hall and Villanova wrote another great chapter in the story of the conference's next great rivalry. On top of that, Creighton was upset yet again by an unranked opponent. This time, it was on their home floor against Providence. And finally, Butler continued their momentum from their upset of #8 Creighton this past Saturday by handily defeating DePaul in Chicago. Also on this episode are my previews of this weekend's Big East games, which includes a battle between ranked teams as #23 UConn visits #11 Creighton in Omaha.

  • Season 2, Episode 30: Retrospective on the "MLK Day Massacre" Seven Years Later
    7 years ago this week, Creighton pulled off a historic beatdown of Villanova, knocking down a mind-boggling 21 three-pointers en rout to a 96-68 win. Joining me to provide some perspective on that after all these years is three guys who helped make it happen: Ethan Wragge, Jahenns Manigat, and Austin Chatman. I also recap Monday's shocking upset as St. John's took down UConn in Storrs and look ahead to the rest of this week as #3 Villanova returns to action for the first time in four weeks against Seton Hall and #11 Creighton looks to bounce back from Saturday's overtime loss to Butler on Wednesday against Providence in Omaha.

    This jam-packed week on The Igloo kicks off with an in-depth interview with former Creighton big man Martin Krampelj as we discussed his journey from Slovenia to America, his favorite moments at Creighton, and what he learned most from his college experience. I also have my full analysis on this past weekend in the Big East, which included a shocking upset as Butler stunned eighth-ranked Creighton in overtime at Hinkle Fieldhouse. Finally, I've got an Ice Breaker on why the Big East should bring back their annual marathons on FS1 they had in their first four years of realignment in honor of the last marathon they had on MLK Day 2017.
