Maybe it's because both teams are cold but they both look real bad. It's 17 to 12 Butler with 3 mins left in the first half.
I hope Bucknell pulls it out because I think Otule could give Muscala trouble and we could blow them out
Bucknell is playing good defense. Butler looks like their scheme is to let Bucknell shoot and miss and then get the rebound. If Bucknell was hitting their open shots, not even their tough one, just their open ones in rhythm, they would be up 10.
Both look bad.
21-14 at the half. Football score. Like watching a bad Big Teen game.
How many points did we have at halftime of the Cincy game?

Sounds like Butler is practicing their defensive strategy for Marquette.
Looked at the box score.
Bucknell 25% shooting
Butler 31% (0-9 3's)
First half flew by only 9 total fouls.

Neither looks able to compensate by dropping 50 in the second half.

fyp
I think both teams are playing pretty good defense.
OT conference road losses don't bother me.
Nice eight point bounce back from Bucknell. Looked like Butler was taking control.
Bucknell takes the lead with 11 mins left.. 17-2 run
Wow nice comeback for Bucknell now.

Butler his their first 3 of the game to retake the lead

I have never understood people's infatuation with rooting for fellow conference mates?? To me it's just wrong. The ONLY team I ever want to see do good is MU and MU only. I don't give a rat's ass about anything else. If Georgetown cuts down the nets, is it going to make me feel better because a fellow conference member did it?? Hell no! To me, that's just a knock on MU. It's like being a Packer fan and rooting for the Bears or the Queens. That should just never happen.
Clarke with the turnaround, fallaway 3 for the dagger. Sounds familiar.

No one is forcing you to give a rat's buttocks. IMO, however, we want the new conference to show as strongly as possible, with MU leading the way of course. It's beneficial to Marquette when fellow conference members do well.
And, it sets us up for a revenge game in the next round.

Professional Sports are different that colleges. If all the other new Big East schools did crap for the next 5 years, it will hurt MU, unless we win a couple championships. You can't recruit really good recruits if you play in a crappy conference. Now, that can change if you win the national title every year, but that is not going to happen.

Wrapped a little tight are we? Waiting for the MU game to start driving you crazy?

I'm rooting for Butler so MU can beat them in the next round. Gives us a nice little token going into the new conference for building a rivalry.
Is that okay?

I'd rather play the "lesser" of two teams. That's Bucknell. If MU gets knocked out along the way, and 3 NBE teams go to the Elite 8 for example, is that supposed to make me feel better?? Hell no! The worse those teams do, the easier things are on MU going forward. I want them to absolutely dominate(Memphis style), this new conference.

Ah, so you
are cheering for a team other than Marquette.
Dominating a la Memphis or Gonzaga would be boring as hell.

Not in the new conference. I'd love to see them all get knocked out early, and MU to go deep. Everyone would label MU as the best of the BE, and they would be.

I don't need exciting wins from MU, just "W's" and lots of them. W's=good. L's=bad....VERY bad.
There went my perfect bracket.
Upon further review, my bracket is intact after two games.
Butler earning it from the stripe, 25 of 28.
Stevens must have had them practicing free throws
