"Book" It!
I am a huge Creighton fan and Have been for a very long time. A couple of years ago they recruited a young kid out of Texas named Booker Woodfox who is one of my top five players to ever play at the University of Creighton. His first year at Creighton he got off to a very slow start mostly because the type of play Coach Dana Altman plays is not an easy one to adjust to. About halfway through the season though he got into his groove and started to hit his shots. In his last fifteen games (not sure on the exact number) he scored in double digits and we as the Creighton fan base were very excited to see him play the next season. As we all expected he exploded during his senior season and easily becoming one of the premier three point shooters in the country. He hit crucial shots for us in multiple games including a game winner vs Old Dominion in the Bracket Buster game, but none was as special as the shot he drained in the Missouri Valley Quarter Finals vs Wichita State. After Wichita's start Terre Murry hit a huge three to put them up one, Creighton had one last chance to win the game. Actually as it came to be they had two because freshman point guard Antone Young missed a leaning jumping but Wichita could not handle the rebound. After all of that there were 1.9 seconds left on the clock, and it was now or never for the Jays. Josh Dotzler passed the ball into Booker Woodfox who lost the Handel, but regained control and then somehow took two dribbles to his left and pulled up just inside the three point line and and it was Nothing but Nylon.
