Opponents adjust.  Tough teams fight through that and garbage days to win.  Liking this team more and more.

Man y'all got spoiled quick by this team.

This is all part of their growth. Teams are gonna pack it in and make it ugly. So far they've done well enough to win.

The only team that packed it in and made it ugly was Marquette.  Butler unnatural carnal knowledgeing sucks.  Without the TO’s by butler, this was a L.

Classic case of playing down to the level of the competition. Shaka will have our guys' attention, and we'll be ready Tuesday.

Oso's worst offensive game of the season (and he still had 8-5-4-2). Just everyone was meh (or worse) after the fast start.

It happens. Houston looked like crap against Wichita State not long after losing at home to Temple. Bama got crushed by Oklahoma. Even good teams have bad games. It's nice to have a bad game in a win -- good teaching moments for Shaka.

Connie

I am with you. Not a great performance and only a mope would have been worried about L in the waning moments.

Point

I do hope you are joking. It was a sloppy, disjointed game for the final 30 minutes and I would think that if Butler was cleaner today that the flow would have looked different. I am very confident that they would not have lost if Butler had less turnovers, but that is my take.

There was not one second in the game where I thought the outcome was in doubt. If Butler had played better, Marquette would have played better, too.

The only scenario in which that would have been a loss would have been if Brad Stevens and Gordon Hayward were with Butler again.

The packing it in is a crucial point.  DePaul, Butler, and Nova really collapsed and took away back cuts.

A rather unsatisfying win, but a W is a W is a W.
On to plotting for UConn.

It's a w. Defense was good. They dared us to shoot and a few rattled out. Ball needs to move crisper on Tuesday

On one hand, this is the kinda game MU woulda dropped in the Wojo era. This team persevered.

On the other hand - considering the history of Feb/March slides (including last year's team) - it's always concerning when an MU team can't say they're playing their best basketball this time of year.

If the Butler player that missed the game is “good,” then they have about 5 “good” players. 4 other guys on the team have basically the same numbers.

You know it's been a good year when 8 and 9 point wins over Big East teams are the bad games.

Onto UConn.

That butler game was a better game than nova.

Yep. Against DePaul we got enough threes to make it a laugher. Not as much in the following two.

Your phone was a bit of a liar. The eye test will always beat AI!

I actually thought it was decent. They were flowing like crazy at Good City before the game.

Great idea by Marquette and those breweries. Excited to try different ones in the future.

It was fine. Have had worse. But a fun thing to add to the festivities. Can't say I'd rush out to buy a four pack.
