Butler Game Thread

There I disagree. I think Marquette wins today on a neutral court. Home cooking happens. Today it happened. Learn what went well in first and what failed in second half and move on to the next one.

I think they beat Butler at home. They are a completely different team on the road.

Why can't we defend layups?  Our defense stinks when it's crunch time.  Our players either step out of the way or stand flat footed with hands stretched straight up inviting the opposing player to shoot into them to earn a foul.  Our basket defense is pathetic.  Where is the coaching?

5'10, 6'4, 6'5 guys contesting at the rim against 6'7 guys.    Every time they did, it was called a foul.    They could have contested all they wanted and it wouldn't matter.    Getting abused off of the dribble..... there's a different problem.
