On Monday, WBR’s Matt DeMarinis conducted a Creighton sports Q&A on Twitter. Here’s a recap of the questions and answers:
@mjdemarinis Stewart and Patton looking like redshirt years?
— Steve’s Dad (@born_a_JAY) November 2, 2015
At this point, I’d say yes. But Stewart was making progress before the injury, and Patton has had his moments too. https://t.co/ddG89aTjZB — Matt DeMarinis (@mjdemarinis) November 2, 2015
@mjdemarinis even if they are ready, there are only so many minutes to go around…..I see a ton of depth
— Steve’s Dad (@born_a_JAY) November 2, 2015
If that remains the case once the real games start it won’t be a bad thing. https://t.co/2z74JEKvJC — Matt DeMarinis (@mjdemarinis) November 2, 2015
@mjdemarinis Do you think the loss caused by my presence was exactly what the soccer team needed to get fired back up for the stretch run?
— Jacob Padilla (@JacobPadilla_) November 2, 2015
Maybe. But your presence seems to be the last thing an athletic programs needs given your current stretch. https://t.co/t1ih5g51TU — Matt DeMarinis (@mjdemarinis) November 2, 2015
@mjdemarinis saw that stats from secret scrimmages can be made public this year. Do you know what they were from the Jays-Mizzou scrimmage?
— Bleeds Blue (@CUAlum81) November 2, 2015
What I know is that Missouri struggled, and Cole Huff & Maurice Watson Jr. didn’t. https://t.co/7fso2SVY3a — Matt DeMarinis (@mjdemarinis) November 2, 2015
@mjdemarinis gut feeling on BB in the non con?
— Brent Myers (@mrmyers1) November 2, 2015
Since you didn’t specify, I think both the men and women will be at or near 10 wins heading into conference play. https://t.co/qnjgDKf0Zm — Matt DeMarinis (@mjdemarinis) November 2, 2015
@mjdemarinis do you think Elmar will resign or stay? Does the end of the year result play that big a deal with that?
— josh Wininger (@joshuawininger) November 2, 2015
That question has not come up during a 16-1-0 season, but I think he’ll be back. He still appears to enjoy this gig. https://t.co/voY69vYfRD — Matt DeMarinis (@mjdemarinis) November 2, 2015
@mjdemarinis What is the WBB frontcourt looking like with Akin-Otiko moving on?
— Jacob Padilla (@JacobPadilla_) November 2, 2015
You’ll find out on December 6th. https://t.co/lndUPF1KuS — Matt DeMarinis (@mjdemarinis) November 2, 2015
@mjdemarinis What percentage of my yearly income should I bet on Vitor Belfort?
— Heath Gunderson (@heathwgunderson) November 2, 2015
1. That’s not Creighton related. 2. I wouldn’t bet a dollar on that guy even if he was fighting you. https://t.co/8EI8v2QkyC — Matt DeMarinis (@mjdemarinis) November 2, 2015
@mjdemarinis Ok here’s a real question. Who has more of a chance of getting upset Rhonda or Joanna? Don’t say neither of them!
— Heath Gunderson (@heathwgunderson) November 2, 2015
*More* of a chance, JJ, but I’m on the record that Holly Holm will beat Ronda, so… https://t.co/W9xHsLoZw5 — Matt DeMarinis (@mjdemarinis) November 2, 2015
@mjdemarinis How much do you think the Jays play small with Hegner or Krampelj at the 5? The entire 20 or so that Groselle doesn’t play?
— My Creighton Account (@Lets_Go_Jays) November 2, 2015
Depends on how effective it is. Mac has proven he’s not a “square peg, round hole until it works” kind of coach. https://t.co/nGTyjLKKFb — Matt DeMarinis (@mjdemarinis) November 2, 2015
@mjdemarinis who is the best 3 point shooter in the guard, wing, and post categories for both men’s and women’s?
— My Creighton Account (@Lets_Go_Jays) November 2, 2015
Guards & wings are kind of interchangeable, but here goes… G – Zierden, Works W – Thomas, Lamberty P – Huff, Faber https://t.co/ZxO3QWBILn — Matt DeMarinis (@mjdemarinis) November 2, 2015
@mjdemarinis Creighton soccer has always had local talented players on the roster now we are down to two do you see this being the new trend
— Don Robbins (@REXFOR3) November 2, 2015
I think the “trend” is to find the best players that fit well with the style of play, regardless of location. https://t.co/7FVuKWgird — Matt DeMarinis (@mjdemarinis) November 2, 2015
@REXFOR3 @mjdemarinis relevant graph and shameless personal plug https://t.co/H2ur8VEOWH pic.twitter.com/mO9CqZkBYy
— Matt’s Stats (@MattsStatsBlog) November 2, 2015
@mjdemarinis I would agree but with the local support does it make sense to look harder at in state players? — Don Robbins (@REXFOR3) November 2, 2015
Local support is attached at the hip to team’s success, which brings us back to best players & best fit. https://t.co/4PIbJUU0Cg

@mjdemarinis who will have more impact as a freshman….Krampelj, Harrell, Thomas, Patton, or Stewart? — Drew English (@yeti47) November 2, 2015
Khyri. I think he’ll be a fan favorite from game one on. https://t.co/W8AqCCniCI
— Matt DeMarinis (@mjdemarinis) November 2, 2015
@mjdemarinis @yeti47 AKA Taz – for good reason! — Wendy Hultman (@jaysnhawks) November 2, 2015
@jaysnhawks @mjdemarinis I think krampelj aka Krampus going to punish a lot of teams this year
— Drew English (@yeti47) November 2, 2015
For future reference, I was recently informed that is nickname is “Tazz” with two Z’s. Double the fun. https://t.co/3KMLi3uwRh — Matt DeMarinis (@mjdemarinis) November 2, 2015
@jaysnhawks I do.
— Matt DeMarinis (@mjdemarinis) November 2, 2015
@mjdemarinis So is Malek the back up to Mo? — Wendy Hultman (@jaysnhawks) November 2, 2015
I think Tyler Clement is a guy a lot of people are forgetting about. He knows the system & takes care of the ball. https://t.co/0Qn3ZbVg7y
— Matt DeMarinis (@mjdemarinis) November 2, 2015
@mjdemarinis True but only in a pinch. Not a D1 talent. — Dan Martin (@DanMart35727361) November 2, 2015
That’s your opinion. Another factor is you’re going to need a tranquilizer to get Maurice Watson Jr. off the floor. https://t.co/OUbzYu60kc
— Matt DeMarinis (@mjdemarinis) November 2, 2015
@mjdemarinis What is your prediction for the WBB starting lineup to begin the season? — Jerry Swinarski (@dswinars) November 2, 2015
McGrory Janning Lamberty Faber Rollerson https://t.co/oWUxuEdflQ
— Matt DeMarinis (@mjdemarinis) November 2, 2015
@mjdemarinis what are the keys to victory for the big game on Thursday? Is Yaro that good? — Chris Douglas (@capnwigglez) November 2, 2015
People that know a lot more than me seem to be convinced about Yaro. One key to a win will be marking Brandon Allen. https://t.co/SW4L6KTf7G
