Good article here about Creighton basketball coming together and playing for each other. After a rough defeat at home against Northern Iowa last Tuesday, Creighton was on the road this past Saturday and defeated Bradley.
"It's all about team," Creighton center Kenton Walker said after the win. "We just went out there and played hard for each other."
"Even when we were down, nobody got frustrated, even with themselves," center Kenny Lawson said. "It's understandable that you get frustrated with yourself when you make a mistake. But I never saw anyone get mad at themselves.
"When someone made a mistake, we stuck together. We supported each other, and it was just a good feeling."
"We just have to remember that the more we stick together, the better off we're going to be as a team," guard Cavel Witter said. "We just have to stay focused and stay together. That's all it comes down to."
It wasn't as if the two losses had turned a Creighton team that had won its previous nine games into a dissension-wracked group that was at each other's throats. Instead, the players said the lack of togetherness showed up in more subtle ways.
"It was like when someone would make a mistake, guys wouldn't say anything positive or they'd look the other way," Witter said. "Guys weren't picking each other up. Against Bradley, we stayed positive with each other the entire game. That was a huge key for us."
